Mitchell averaged 96 from a tick over 50 % CBA in a poor team last season. Pies recruited him for a reason, to help with clearances. What I read into that is Mitchell CBA will be up around 80% in a better team which means you'd think he'll make up to the 15-20 points to get back to 115+ based on increase CBA by 30%. I put him in my side today as my 5th keeper mid with hope he's my 8th mid keeper at seasons end.

Melbourne superstar Clayton Oliver has undergone surgery on his thumb to fix a niggling problem in his right hand.
The Demons on Wednesday confirmed Oliver, 25, had gone under the knife to get on top of a minor issue which had been bothering him in recent weeks.
The injury is expected to fully heal over the next few weeks, allowing Oliver to return to full training when his teammates come back from their Christmas break next month.
The thumb surgery isn’t expected to have a major impact on his preparation for the new season as the Demons attempt to bounce back from their straight sets exit in last year’s finals series.
Hmmm 🤔

JVR to fix Dees’ forward woes
An untried young talent and an injury-prone veteran are giving Melbourne hope that it can overcome the key forward issues that partly derailed its premiership defence this year.
Track watchers have noted the solid pre-season form of Jacob Van Rooyen, who is yet to play a senior game but came so close last season, and premiership forward Tom McDonald, who only managed nine games in 2023 due to injury.
The Demons struggled to get bang for their buck when going forward last season, with their forward mix an endless source of debate.
With Sam Weideman traded to Essendon and Luke Jackson finding a new home at Fremantle, the Demons are certain to give Van Rooyen a chance to finally debut early in the year.
On my fwd bench currently 😎
Highly talented WA kid, rate him.
