As voted by the fans, Tom Mitchell is Hawthorn’s Round 9 MVP, presented by United Petroleum.

With his side desperate to make a return to the winners' list on Friday night, Mitchell delivered his best performance of the season.

The renowned ball-getter was a dominant force in the game, registering game-high marks for disposals (28), kicks (16), tackles (eight), inside 50s (five) and metres gained (459).

Mitchell continued his form of posting an extremely high disposal efficiency for a midfielder, with a 79.4 per cent rate on his 28 possessions. 

As the 2018 Brownlow Medallist continues to build confidence in his body in his comeback season, the 27-year-old will be desperate to ensure the side's winning form against Fremantle next Monday.
