Welcome Tom. Now, let's get him to 100 games so we can have father sons.
I honestly think a lot of the people here who weren't keen have realised his position was a weakness.
I'm very happy with this. An actual clearance player!

I mean it stuck out like dogs balls all year that the Pies struggled inside the contest. Hope success finds him. Really nice bloke.
Tom is prone to cruise behind the ball a bit when not involved with clearance work but so long as he get's it out he makes us better.

When was the last time we had a sure fire 15+ contested possession and 7+ clearance type player?
The inside mid we need, and he's a great kick as well.
Excellent get!

Feel like he will be good for our young lads in the 22 currently. Show some absolute professionalism and a tough body on the field. Love this pick up

Are we thinking of the same Tom Mitchell?

I've never seen a guy fight for every possession and every metre like prime-Mitchell since prime Crawford. Not the most skillful player but will leave it all on the field. He doesn't have that same ability in him after his leg-break but he still has that desire.
welcome aboard Tom.. another father-son success story for the Pies!
So we lose a guy that couldn't make the team and gain a guy that will. I'll take that

It’s fitting that he got to us given his father played for the club….
Same with JHF, nice bit of symmetry

Unfortunate that we never had much to put around him in the midfield after the first year or two when he got his brownlow, even then he was copping flak from some idiots but when you watch him every week you will realise he's an unselfish hard worker, not the ineffectual possie merchant he's sometimes billed as. Will root for him to do a Luke Ball at Collingwood.
