Tom Mitchell 50 possessions

[Blue1980]

Where exactly do you think the 50 possessions went? Pretty sure he was bringing others in to the game by delivering the ball to them.

He wasn't giving the ball to himself each time

Kept handballing and kicking to himself apparently

And that's why you don't use wikipedia, kids.

got plenty of handballs out of the pack into teammates' hands. bit of a lone hand though, lots of hawks not getting much of it in the end.

 

[Stopher]

To be fair to him, he's one Hawthorn recruit who can at least justify his trade.

 

[Aramis]

Gotta feel for the guy we are basically Tom Mitchell FC atm.... carrying so much deadwood...

 

[5ammy]

Fk me, he's 24 years old and has just played his 9th game for his new club and people are bagging him for getting 50 'meaningless' possies in game where we were completely outplayed in the second half. Bigfooty is at its best tonight... pathetic.

 

[vanders]

Not sure we'd get the ball inside our forward line without him at the moment

 

[Lockyer24]

I didn't notice Mitchell tbh.

It's all about game breakers like Bontempelli these days. They kill ya in 5 mins

Would still rather 30 of Sam Mitchell's touches

I would rather have 15 of Stephen Hill touches

 

[Fyfetheknife]

Mitchell 50 touches
2nd Smith 26 touches

Collingwood:
Pendlebury 36
Treloar 34
Adams 33
Sidebottom 27


clearly cost hawks the game by refusing to give to anyone else

Hold on, what?

He gave the ball to other people more than anyone else.

Turned it straight over every single time

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

I thought his defensive pressure and 8 tackles were actually more effective than his offensive output tonight.

He was very good, but his 50 disposals don't tell the full story.

 

[kozi]

I'd rather have one Cyril tap over the back

Yup agreed. Was everywhere and clearly Hawks best player. He just didn't have any help.

50 touches T. Mitchell

3 votes S. Pendlebury

I hope your post wasn't intended to be ironic or sarcastic.

Pendles had a much better game than Mitchell. Pendles was far more influential.

 

[SterlingArcher]

I don't think it was "useless", as much as it was like GAJ in the early Gold Coast years.....he got all the touches but had no mates supporting him.

Yep, this is my thoughts.

Mitchell played a hell of a game. If he was supported by other midfielders, it wouldn't have mattered about meters gained, the Hawks would have dominated.

But one player accumulating disposals is pretty ineffective in terms of 18 whole players, no matter how impressive it is.

Pretty much sums it up

 

[Hawk_francais]

I love how he gets 50 possessions playing his normal role and cops criticism. What the 50 touches really show is that he put in a 4 quarter effort unlike EVERY other Hawks player.

Geez what we would give to go back in time and trade shiels to Gold Coast instead of our first to st kilda. What a horrendous decision, the bloke hasn't played good footy in 3/4 years. If we made him captain he would of rivaled Geary and vandenburg as worst ever afl captains

He wouldn't have had nearly enough value to offset that deal tho

 

[numbat06]

Neutral here...was at the ground and I didn't rate his game, so many useless touches.
#of touches /= quality of game

Yeah but there could of been some sort of deal that didn't involve our first. For some stupid reason hawthorn and a couple of other teams rate shiels highly and he would of gone a decent way towards getting jaeger. Our midfield is by far the worst in the league. We have been praying that guys like orouke and Lovell would come on but it just hasn't happened

Without tom Mitchell we wouldn't of won a game this year and we would of been beaten by 10+ goals tonight. He's the only bloke in our team that can win his own footy

GAJ v Collingwood 2012. 53 touches in a big loss

I was at that game. That was a 100 point loss. What i remember was ablett geting a shit load of 1 / 2 handballs and crap kicks that went no where disposals that put the team under pressure. It was comical that day. Dale Thomas had 30 disposals and kicked 3 goals in a perfect game from him and yet the votes went to ablett. Pure case of lets look at the stats at the end of the game. Funny thing was even though Ablett had it 53 times you hardly noticed him. Same with Mitchells game last once he got past 40 possies his last 10 were pure shit rushed on the boot or a cheap handball the comentaters were creaming themselves it was laughable. I hope to see one day where a player like Danger or Martin get 50 possies but 50 possie of pure power footy where the the ball is used as a weapon, metres gained or put teammate into space going forward or scoring thats the type of possession they should count.

Treloars sledge was accurate.

What was the Treloar sledge?
