Across five matches Mitchell consistently drove the gain line, averaging nearly 60 metres per game from under nine carries — figures that point to a centre who generates momentum rather than simply recycling possession. His tackle output is equally striking, peaking at 14 in a single match and averaging over seven per game, suggesting he shoulders significant defensive responsibility at this level. The combination of a 299-metre carrying return and 36 tackles across 329 minutes paints a picture of a high-work-rate midfielder who contributes meaningfully on both sides of the ball.
