    I watched him during the under 18 championships when he was still underdone and he carved them up then. The thought of him and also young Josh Dunkley is enough to make me buy a 10 year members ticket. Its going to be an exciting ride.

      I love Mitchell. he is a game maker and breaker. He has the ability to not only start the whole movement but to be a part of it all the way down the ground. Sensational give and get mentality. I was a bit peeved that he wasn't in the official best for the resies last week. He got 35 and was sensational in everything he did. He also has the ability if he makes a mistake to go and recover the ball. That is a real talent. His delivery is really good. He uses handball a lot and sets up play in the same fashion as Sam Mitchell. If he becomes anywhere near as good as Sammy I will be happy.

        I am glad the kid is under the eye of Crouch. He knows a lot about longevity and personal maintenance.

          Looks like he's staying:

          Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

              I thought he was being traded to Carlton?

                Let's hope not. I never wanted him to be traded but I was worried he may be squeezed out due to salary cap pressures. I'll believe it when I see it, and I hope I do...

                  You hope he goes or stays?

                    Mitchell might be waiting for the new CBA????

                      Absolutely hope he stays!

                      The noises coming out of his camp seem pretty positive but all the same I think we'll all be relieved when he re-signs.

                        Yes, and given the CBA has a drop dead deadline of November 1 that concerns me if they are holding out. The longer the kid isn't re-signed the greater the chance of him asking for a transfer. I'm really hoping we see something in the next week or so....

                          Most player contracts at the moment would have certain triggers around the new CBA anyway so I don't think anyone would be needing to hold out until it comes in.....

                            Another two years would be smart by Mitchell IMHO.

                            That is when his value will be at its peak, the new CBA will be in place and I think he would also then be a restricted free agent. All good for getting a big, long pay-day either here or elsewhere to finish off his career.

                              Talks on hold for a month, but still looks positive.

                                So, the Blues break even in hitouts but get smashed in stoppages and clearances, then 2 days later Tom Mitchell happens to put contract talks on hold?
                                I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                                We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
