Interested in other's thoughts, I wanted him in the side a lot over the season but for reasons best known to the match committee was overlooked time and again.

He is a very smart footballer, knows where to run, can take a contested mark, disposes well  and is not afraid to put his body in. He ticks a lot of boxes! Could have kicked a couple more goals, but I thought his last 2 games were Excellent!

One the basis that we lack players with "Smarts" I reckon he deserves at least a one year deal with triggers for beyond.

I would be disappointed but not surprised given its the MFC and some decision making re Contracts have been in the past, "Lacking" that he may not be offered but,,,

I hope he gets another gig at MFC

    I thought he was good on Saturday but seemed to be playing further up the ground

    A medium level journeyman.

    It's a pity we need him but without TMac in form I see little alternative.

    My bigger worry is Melksham and Hannan

    Also need to get LJ and Rivers under 3 year contracts asap

    Saw someone liken him to Pedo, think a player like him is needed given question marks over Smith, Tmac, Petty etc

    I'd happily keep. Played a much better role then McDonald has dished put the past 6 months.

    Agree. Sign up for 2021.  
    He’s a good honest natural footballer. Showed enough to get another year. His hunger and smart footy was very much needed in our forward line.  A true Pedersen type.

    I have noticed that the last 2 games he has been chasing kicks and taking marks and linking up the ground. also found in the back half to help out against GWS where he helped win the game in the last quarter.

    Put in a good one against his old club and is a   shue in for a 1 year contract at the least IMO.    He reminds me a lot of Cam Pederson that was a real honest goer and did well for us.

    Yep. I really like him. Has a bit of that Cam Pedersenesque spirit to him, will play beyond the expectations of his talent. Also seems to know that a footy bounces in an odd fashion, and gets himself to the right spots.

    Whether or not he’s around next year may depend on how we go at the trade period. If we manage to land a second key forward then that shoves him down the pecking order pretty quickly. I’d be giving him another year though, handy depth.

    Definitely another year. Should have played many more games in the place of Tom McD. I like a player with courage and smarts. Keep.

    Extend his second year as a rookie.

    He was terrible in the first game of the year but his last 2 games were ok .plays with enthusiasm and has a bit of zip .But if we are to become successful we need replace 30 yr old journeyman like Mitch with a bit of quality .We dont bat low enough at the moment so we should be concentrating on players who  might not  be A graders but are clearly of AFL standard and Mitch doesnt fit this profile ..

    Put him up back and he’d be every bit as good as Lever.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
