I think Mitchell has been playing almost exclusively as a tall defender, and has been doing ok. Someone will say that she’s been doing some relief ruck work - but if she has it’s been scarce.
Smith has been relieving Hamilton in the ruck, and I agree that her impact in recent weeks hasn’t been great. Indeed, I’m struggling to recall her being a forward line target in any recent games. Molloy, Hamilton (Cy) and Privitelli seem to have dominated the forward targeting, with a little Ham thrown in now and then.
It would be helpful if Smith could stand up and have her best game of the season.
