Tom Mitchell

[JackVineyForPresident 310]

A few rumours floating around that Melbourne are keen on the kid and he is obviously not cracking a game in a very very strong Sydney side.

From watching him last year, it is obvious that he has no issues finding the footy and has a pretty solid left boot. Personally, i think he should be in the Sydney side at the moment, but the fact that he isnt probably makes him gettable.

He would probably walk for a second round pick? i cant imagine Sydney asking more, considering he isnt getting a game.

Would crack straight into our best 22 in my opinion, i would have him ahead of Bail and probably Matt Jones from first thoughts.

Would you like to see him in the red and blue?

I think he'd be a really important and solid get if we could snare the little ball magnet.

not sure Sydney would let him go

Toumpas isn't getting a run doesn't mean we don't rate him

I voted Yes JVFP... & hopefully before we finally become a RePublic too, JVFP. not a day too soon.

Had 64 possessions one game in the reserves, and that didn't even get him a call up. Starved of opportunities and may be looking to come home.

[Satyriconhome 10,339]

Damn quote won't work, Sydney needed a midfielder to replace Hanneberry and went with Zack Jones and not Mitchell, that tells you something, whoever Roos picks will do me

Why would he be in the best 22? ridiculous comment, how many games have you watched him play?

I watched him play the second half of last year and the games he played this year so far.

He has ability to put on defensive pressure and play offensive. Something Bail does not do very well and i believe he'd make our team. We have players like Bail, Riley, Mckenzie and probably Terlich getting regular games. He is ahead of all these players.

Secondly, his ability to find the ball is something our midfield would love, we currently dont have enough ball magnet. So that "ridiculous comment" comes from watching him play a fair amount of games, understanding the type of player he is and understanding the type of player we dont have.

Rumors from the mouths of the low lives that lurk in the murky waters of Demonland, or rumors from proper sources?

[Satyriconhome 10,339]

Sorry my quote won't work, so you are watching him in the NEAFL?

Riley what you mean his 2 games?

Ask Stanton about Jordie McKenzie's pressure

Bail, completely different role, and Terlich, so you would take a ball magnet and play him as a small defender, like I said ridiculous comment

Mitchell's disposal average in AFL is 19, so not a ball magnet, same as Dom Tyson, a young developing midfielder, might interest Roos

Tom Mitchel is out injured at the moment 'Saty', that's all it tells me but with you on whoever Roos picks.

[T-34 409]

Longmire has said he would have received a call up if he was not currently injured.

Would be a good pick up but I doubt Sydney would let him go cheaply as he would be viewed as one of their next generation blue chippers.

[jackaub 1,402]

not sure Sydney would let him go

Toumpas isn't getting a run doesn't mean we don't rate him

So Why isnt Toumpas getting a run?Pretty ordinary at Casey yesterday

[Ted Lasso 18,779]

Really? I thought Jimmy was okay

[Moonshadow 17,499]

Many Sydney fans I know rate Mitchell highly. See him as part of the good, young crop they have coming through. IMO he'd get a game ahead of many of our mids ATM.

[Pennant St Dee 12,659]

Seen him at Claremont Colts and junior footy in WA, stand out kid and would be a good get if something could be done. As far as rumours go, I don't think being mentioned by Demonland posters qualifies as rumours

I thought if a player's name is mentioned on Demonland then he will be on our list next year. ATM

I think our list next year numbers 72.

I think Spirit of Norm Smith has listed 10 must get players at this stage already

[KingDingAling 3,737]

Mitchell would be in our top 5 players.

The kid is just a superstar, I'd gladly part with a first rounder - but that wouldn't nearly get it done.

[JackVineyForPresident 310]

Rumours from sources, a mate i know is pretty good friends with his best mate. And apparently rumours flying around about Melbourne being linked with him.

Sorry my quote won't work, so you are watching him in the NEAFL?

Riley has no area in his game that makes him special. I like some of his work, but he doesnt get me reeally.

Mckenzie is good one week and rubbish for the next 5.

Bail? hahahah he is the exact some role, half forward moving up.

And for a player who has played so little games, his average is very impressive. From NEAFL and previous AFL (last year), he is a ball magnet.

It would if he wants out unless another club is going to outbid us. Now most of the other clubs around us on the ladder are after KPP's so may be it is enough to get it done.

[Demonsterative 3,017]

I hope like hell your right JVFP! Mitchell is a potential star. With Viney, Tyson, Jones, Salem, Toump, Kent, Trengove, Kennedy Harris, Watts, Hogan, Howe, and McDonald we have a serious team of players to take us forward a tilt toward a premiership.

I'll add Riley (serious meat and potatoes type which every club needs but has more tricks than McKenzie) and Gawn (who I think I is a player)

All these players are young and are yet to reach their potential.

I could add Dawes, Frawley, Grimes, Garland, Dunn who are young enough to see success.

[Demonsterative 3,017]

With the AFL providing the support for all clubs to pay 100% of the salary cap! this would mean the club has lots of money to bring players into the club. When does this rule take place?

[Yossarian 1,820]

I thought if a player's name is mentioned on demonland then he will be on our list next year. ATM I think our list next year numbers 72.

If our team truly wants to be great again, we will need all 72 players on our list next year. Screw what the AFL says... we need to stand up for what we believe in and stop being pushovers as a club. Only then will other clubs begin to take us seriously.

[Adam The God 29,340]

I think we're gonna need to get at least two young mids out of this off season. Two of the GWS boys and/or Mitchell would do me. Can't see it happening though.

His old man played 150+ games for the swans, and Tom was happy to go there as a father/son.

I'd be amazed if he left anytime soon,

So not through the draft then? I thought we needed forwards?, and key defenders? and running halfbacks, still reckon the 72 on the list is the way to go
