2004, May 14, West Australian, Story and Photo, heading ” The spring of a Tiger” and photo of Michael Mitchell and Peter Wilson.  If you believe what Michael Mitchell says his penchant for sitting on top of packs was like winning the lottery. No formula, no given talent, just good fortune.  The high leaping marks got him two “mark of the year” awards, one in the WAFL and one AFL.  The story and photo are based on an  interview with Michael Mitchell who played for Claremont and Richmond.
