Tom Mitchell has received the nod from fans as Hawthorn’s Round 1 MVP following the side's win over Essendon.
Mitchell was a stand-out on the night as he helped propel the Hawks to their first win of the 2021 campaign.
The 27-year-old amassed game-highs of 39 disposals and nine score involvements as well as five tackles and four inside 50s.
His influence was especially notable in the team's all-important third quarter effort, where he amassed an incredible 17 touches.
Having had his preparation heavily impacted by off-season shoulder surgery, Mitchell quickly put any concerns over his fitness to bed with a stellar performance.
It was the 19th time that the ball magnet has collected at least 39 touches in his career.
