Sam Mitchell

He was on what looked like a very important call.

Get out.

We represent him now, so I can't even kick him out.

All right, we'll step through it because you're right.

It's extremely sensitive for Carlton to deal with first and foremost.

And this is a player who's worked also extremely hard to get back into the system.

Like one who has been open about his battles with anxiety, alcohol, mental health issues.

He was cut by the Blues with a year to run on his deal.

at the end of last year.

So that shows you where he was at in life.

But he's worked hard.

He's got himself back on the list.

Now, last night he touches the ball once, 60% game time.

It was actually 84% game time at three-quarter time, and they decided, Carlton, to put the cue in the rack largely in the last quarter.

A complete row of donuts across the stat board.

And quite clearly,

He wasn't anywhere close to being fit to be out there.

But the vision, and there's a lot of vision, it was flying around while the game was still being played last night.

So I don't even know if this is the right thing to do, given what I'm paid to do.

But I chose not to distribute that last night.
