The lion hearted key position forward recently capped off a long career at three AFL clubs with his second VFL Premiership, this time at Casey (his first was with the Cats a decade ago). Led the club’s VFL goal kicking this year and played a valuable role mostly at this level but was also a handy back up in a limited games with Melbourne. Retired at season’s end.

    I could certainly make a case for Mitch going around again in a similar role on a minimal salary given our lack of key forward depth. He has done everything we could have asked from him in that position and at that stage of his career. That said, I'm not surprised he is moving on after an AFL career spanning 14 years. Well done, Mitch.

    I really like Brown

    Old fashioned footballer with a wise head. Sadly he seemed to be stuck between the VFL and AFL talent wise

    The memory for me will be that Rd 5 game last year. Replacement home game so sat on Ponsford bottom level and he really stood up to help us get that win. All the best Mitch!

    Has an amazing ability at VFL level to find space in the forward line to take a relatively easy mark (think Gunston).

    Unfortunately he couldn't bring that skill to AFL level

    Would have had a more prevalent career at the Dees if we didn't have to keep playing Weid whenever their was opportunity in the hope he would find consistent form.

    Love Mitch’s story dual VFL premiership player with 79 AFL games in between. Great height but a bit light on for AFL will be greatly missed at Casey.!!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
