Profile


It all seemed to be going to plan for Mitchell in the first two rounds with a couple of strong performances but then knee and ankle injuries ruined his momentum. Whether it was injuries or NEAFL byes, he was not able to string together more than a few games in a row until the last six weeks of the regular season and finished on a high with 29 touches and 13 tackles vs Richmond. He's the sort of guy who could easily nudge a 100 average but you'd have to ask yourself if he's worth the investment given his JS has taking a bit of a hit. If Mitchell was able to hang to M/F DPP then that would make things a little more interesting.

Pros - Big tackle numbers

Cons - JS, poor kick/handball ratio


Prediction - 89-94

[Ricochet]

If he gets through his first ever real preseason this year and keeps mid/fwd status, he's a lock

[nrich102]

Will look at if he's named round 1

[kilbluff1985]

doubt he keeps DPP

[SydneyRox]

doubt he keeps DPP

Cant see it either. He is a chance though.

Just entering his first preseason uninjured which is a bonus. He knows how to find it, just needs to get some game time. His endurance is the real thing that has been letting him down, so a full uninterrupted pre season will see him back in the 22 IMO

[Jukes]

If you need an added incentive to include him, remember he's a Claremont boy!

[The_Captain]

[Sweetness]

Definitely worth a look if a FWD and named round 1

1/2 so far

[Capper]

so he kept it? WOW!!

[Sweetness]

Interesting now.
Has such DT potential. Last year has scared me a bit though, may look to upgrade, we'll see.

Yeh man. Didn't expect it but hey we'll take it

yeah, starting with him might be risky, but the preseason will tell you if he has form.

If he is named round 1 I think he will be ok, though depending on his fitness he could wear red
