Another fine season from Mitchell, his last before relinquishing the captaincy to Luke Hodge. Played 19 of 23 games and led the Hawks in long kicks, handballs given and received and loose-ball gets. The Hawks missed his leadership and clearance work when he was out with a hamstring injury early in the season and his brilliant, match-saving smother of Richmond’s Shane Tuck in round eight helped spark Hawthorn’s revival.

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