Stats
Bio
A young half-forward who emerged during one of Melbourne's bleakest eras, Mark Mitchell's brief senior career coincided with the club's disastrous 1969 wooden spoon campaign. Standing 182cm, he was brought into the senior lineup in Round 11 against Footscray, holding his spot for six consecutive matches and booting two goals as the Demons struggled to find a winning formula. While he was eventually omitted from the senior side, Mitchell found redemption in the lower grades later that year, playing on a half-forward flank in Melbourne's 1969 Reserves premiership victory over Carlton—a rare highlight for the club during a difficult season. He spent the entire 1970 season in the seconds before retiring from VFL football.
