"So while we're all enjoying a fantastic win, and we should all be enjoying it, unfortunately some parts of our Hawthorn family can't enjoy it because of what heroes on their keyboards think they're capable of doing.Mitchell added: "For that to be called out because of how they look — honestly, grow up. It's absolutely ridiculous.
