It's not too soon (or too optimistic) to be keeping an eye on the progress of Tom Mitchell, is it?
Apparently he gathered 41 possessions and laid 8 tackles playing for the Claremont Colts at the weekend.

Good news
Seems he will be worth the father son selection

Does anyone know what kind of style midfielder Tom is? Is he one of those mega classy silky smooth gut running types like Cousins/Murphy?

It could be a long 18 months!

Ooohhh goody, Mitchell watch. No its not too soon Liz. Its going to be a few years before we can indulge in a Kelly watch (or a Roosy, or Luffy and I hear they are possibilities maybe, but oh boy can't wait for the O'Loughlin, Barry, and Kirky possibilities, no pressure of course) , so lets practice on Tom. Stats welcome.
If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhood
At least he's playing for the right team - the mighty Claremont Colts!
Brisbane (Fitzroy) will obviously lay first claim to the next generation of Roos, but not all hope is lost. If Sydney thinks they have a case for it they can appeal for an exemption to the AFL on the grounds that a) Paul Roos played 98 games for us and b) has coached Sydney/South Melbourne in more games then anyone else (200 by season's end). But The Swans would have to fight for it, and there's no telling if it would be successful or not.

Is there any precedent for that or are u just making it up?
I doubt other clubs would be happy and I wouldn't blame them one bit.
Of course it is all irrelevant unless they prove to be gun juniors.
I doubt they may have the hunger, after all, they've graced the winners dias on GF day already.
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
Roos played 87 games for us. Plugger might be the player you're thinking of on 98 games. A few notable names also just missed out
Schwass, Schneider 98
Nick Davis 97
Jason Ball 90
Capper 89
Schauble 88
We could get our hands on Roos' kids through the Academy anyway. Assuming it's anything like the NSW Scholarship scheme, it would trump, or at least be equal to, the Father/Son rule.
Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!
