Known for his pace and goalsneak ability, Mitchell debuted with the Fremantle Dockers in 1996, a season where he played 21 matches.
Despite having played for Claremont Football Club in the West Australian Football League in 1994 and 1995,[1] the official AFL records list Mitchell as being drafted from West Kimberley,[2] hence making him one of the few players to have been drafted from outside of the main state leagues.
In 1997 he played 15 games but was traded to the St Kilda Football Club for 1998.
By then, the Saints were bottom of the ladder, with the midfield unable to supply Mitchell with enough crumbing opportunities.
