Tom Mitchell has returned to the senior Collingwood side after a long injury layoff and settled back in to his dedicated inside mid role, covering for the injured Jordan De Goey and allowing coach Craig McRae the luxury of starting his champion Scott Pendlebury on the subs bench last week. Long term it seems like Ned Long will be Titchell's replacement in the Pies best 22, albeit Long got his pants pulled down in the Suns game by a supremely confident Matt Rowell. The knock on Titchell has always been that he can't do much other than play inside, but in this Pies team that's all they need.
