Sam Mitchell makes AFL history with incredible display
West Coast star Sam Mitchell has put himself above some of the AFL's all-time greats with a remarkable performance against GWS.
Mitchell racked up 31 disposals as the Eagles lost a nail-biter to the Giants in Perth on Sunday.
The stellar display brought his career tally of 30-plus disposals to 119 games, overtaking Robert Harvey, Gary Ablett and Dane Swan on the all-time leaderboard.

Mitchell also kicked his first goal for the Eagles since moving west from Hawthorn, and his first in nearly two years.
GWS forward Toby Greene overcame a case of the wobbles to lift his side to an epic eight-point win.
Greene booted two goals in the final term of the Domain Stadium clash as the Giants came from behind to post the 14.14 (98) to 14.6 (90) win.
