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!

    last round v WCE in 2020 when he absolutely tore them to shreads, took so many marks on the lead and polled a couple brownlow votes sticks in my head

    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.!!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
