READ these figures slowly and take them in carefully. Fifty-six possessions and 237 SuperCoach points.

This was Tom Mitchell's haul in the North East Australian Football League game against Ainslie last week.How do you like them apples?

It's Mitchell's 20th birthday today. Tomorrow he will get the perfect present - an AFL debut.

Years ago he could have played his first senior game somewhat anonymously and Sydney fans would have been happy to see the kid simply have a crack.

Nowadays a debutant with big wraps on him has the eyes of keen SuperCoaches watching him like a hawk and assessing his viability for their sides in the weeks to come.

Mitchell is one of these debutants.

Ultimate Round 10 SuperCoach formguide



The son of former Swans best and fairest winner Barry Mitchell has an amazing SuperCoach pedigree stemming from a standout junior career.

He averaged 176 SuperCoach points in three games for Western Australia's 2009 under 16 team and 140 points in two under 18 games two years later.

He was equally prolific for Claremont in the WAFL Colts in 2011, averaging 160 points in his four outings.

In eight games for the Swans reserves in the NEAFL last year he averaged 110 points from 26.6 possessions and in seven games so far this year those averages have risen to 132 and 32.

But here's why it is now impossible for Sydney coach John Longmire to ignore the midfielder.

In the past three weeks he has had possession tallies of 25, 52 and 56 and SuperCoach hauls of 149, 196 and that mammoth 237.

Say what you want about the competitiveness of the NEAFL, but those numbers are staggering.

Wherever he has played he has simply accumulated.Sydney officials - and SuperCoaches - can only hope he does the same in the AFL, starting with tomorrow's Essendon clash.

It has been a harrowing season so far. Injuries, suspensions and a lack of trade down targets have conspired to make 2013 a living hell for many a SuperCoach.

But maybe, just maybe, things are starting to turn.

Nat Fyfe, Brett Goodes and Bryce Gibbs are back, Heath Shaw, Beau Waters, Grant Birchall and Chris Yarran are due to return this week and finally we have a few worthwhile trade-down targets to look out for.

Mitchell is one for the next fortnight, Brent Staker is one for now.

He's barely played for two years, having undergone two knee reconstructions.

Now, after two standout games, he is a SuperCoach must-buy.

At $128,000 with a break-even of -94 he is a bargain.

As a forward/defender he is even more appealing.

Lachlan Hunter ($109,500, mid) is in line for a debut at the Western Bulldogs and now we just need Essendon to take the bubble wrap off Joe Daniher who, with a VFL average of 3.2 goals and 85.5 SuperCoach points in six games, is so appealing as a $154,500 forward.
