BROWNLOW Medallist Tom Mitchell has named the top five players he\u2019s played alongside across his 12 years in the AFL system so far.<\/p>\n
Mitchell was asked the question on The Unlaced Podcast with Jake Barker-Daish with the midfielder naming five who were the best when he played with them, not across the duration of their entire careers.<\/p>\n
The midfielder named two Sydney stars whom he played alongside from 2012 to 2016, one Hawthorn legend and two of his Collingwood premiership teammates in his top five.<\/p>\n

Lance Franklin (Sydney)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBuddy Franklin, obviously,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cHe was at the peak of his powers when I was at the Swans.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was kicking goals from everywhere and 80-plus goals a year. He was a freak.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Josh Kennedy (Sydney)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cJosh Kennedy when I was at the Swans,\u201d Mitchell said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was so good at what he did, he was the guy I looked up to as the player I wanted to be.<\/p>\n \u201cHis clearance stuff in particular was so clean. You couldn\u2019t tackle him, he was too big for a mid.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was great to play alongside.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
