    Re: Three things you've learned-round 18 v the Suns.

    The one-grab and release handball to JJ who set up Dale - was particularly good.

    Really like him spending time at half forward, really good in a one on one and an excellent set shot kick.

    He's a gem. An absolute gem. In my mind's eye I can see the look on Mitch's face as he pickpockets the ball out of the pack of Sydney players to get it to Libba who gets it to Daniel to Bont to JJ for the winner in 2014. Mitch trails the ball like a sheepdog would while Sydney players grab at it and knock it around and as soon as there is one centremetre of space Mitch shoots his hands in, grabs the ball out and we are away. His eyes light up when he sees a chance to win the ball.
