Player Watch Tom Mitchell

[Piesinmyeyes]

Irrespective of whether he gets to any semblance of form in 2025, I will be eternally grateful for the 2023 gf.
I won’t be hanging my hat on him next year, he’s in his twilight.
Performs then great, we need to now find the next Tom Mitchell.

He had an awesome Granny and that's a massive credit to him.

But he looked cooked asf for most of last year as we later found out due to his pretty severe foot injury, and none of us know that he's over it.

So anyone that says he'll have a great season in 2025 with any pompous bravado is talking utter shit.

With the progress of Nick, I think he's a fringe player for us now anyway - he's one of about 6 good players to support him in the midfield. The others however use the footy better are quicker and are effective when rotating through other roles as well.

There is always a need for a solid in-and-under type player. Titch filled that role supurbly in 2023. Without Titch, we don't have anyone else that can fulfill that role anywhere near as well and we do need one.

Seeing Neale dominate this year's GF further highlights how great Mitchell was in the premiership decider

Yep

Mitchell really did his homework on Neale
After the marvel game against them in late 23 Neale did a number on him which he reversed magnificently in gf23
Hopefully foots healed and he’s ready to get down and dirty again in 25

Coincidentally Neale & Mitchell have both been dealing with plantar fascia issues.

Let's hope they both make a full recovery for 2025

I reckon Mitchell in some of the close finishes last season would have been more than handy. He has the ability to extract but also to force a secondary stoppage when required.

Mitchell is the type of player you want fresh for finals. Just ease him through home and away season.

Thats it
Nail on the head
High pressure high intensity footballer built for big games

I think Steele will end up taking on the role that Mitch played in 23 though. The defensive role on the oppositions inside mid (unless it's Cripps, etc).

Have a look who it was that put their head and neck on the line for us in the last 30 seconds of the GF. Titch being prepared to be decapitated to draw a free pretty much ensured we won and could chip it around for 30 seconds. None of Nick, Steele etc can match Toms hardness
