Handballs are only good when Cripps or Diesel get them.

Yep and stats don't matter except when our guys get good numbers.

If all our players are so great why are we down the bottom?

I rate Tom Mitchell very highly. I don't buy he has no impact at all. His biggest strength is the angles he runs to get the ball and then out of congestion and stoppage. His running patterns are elite. However when there are other motives at play and to use our captain as a scapegoat i take issue with.

Yes, that pretty much covers it.

Interestingly both Mitchell and Murphy lead their sides in score involvements this year

6.86 per game (TM) vs 5.85 per Game (MM)

Probably due that Hawks score a lot more. Mitchell ranks 41st and Murphy 100th

Master of making us play slow crap football hence why we're down the bottom and can't score.

Remind me who won on Saturday night; Murphy's team with its slow, crap football or Mitchell's handball happy team?

I agree Shadesy and I wouldn't mind Mitchell in navy blue.  However, Murphy is at least as important to us as skipper and football accumulator and distributor as Mitchell is to Hawthorn.

Tom Mitchell best games come when his efficiency is very high, but he is not consistent yet.

Also, he is a very poor defensive runner, if he was at Carlton he would get bagged mercilessly for jogging behind play. At the Dawks even his team-mates are forced to give him a hurry up.

We had a player very similar to the current version of Tom Mitchell, he was called Brock McLean and most Carlton fans hated him! Yet Brock was a far better ball user than Tom Mitchell currently is!
