Player Bio

AT A Glance

Junior Clubs:-
Clubs:-
Debut: AFL 2002
Recruited from: Mooroolbark/Eastern U18/Box Hill Hawks
Brownlow Votes:-

Another brilliant season from the midfield master in 2012, finishing equal-second in the Brownlow Medal and joining Shane Crawford, Jason Dunstall and John Kennedy snr as four-time Hawks best and fairest winners. Led the team in disposals, clearances, contested possessions and tackles, and his kicking ability on both sides was unparalleled. Now 30, Mitchell will be a key player again this season.

Draft history: 2001 National AFL Draft 3rd round selection (Hawthorn) No. 36 overall traded by Fremantle for Trent Croad and Luke McPharlin.
