Mascot/Nickname: HawksMitcham ranks with Brompton and South Adelaide Ramblers as the most mobile of clubs to play in the SAAFL having experience in many associations, but since 1968 it has been more or less a regular with the SAAFL given that in 1976 it had been 'sent to Coventry' by the SAAFL for a dispute over gate-takings during the 1975 finals. Its first ground was at Hill Street Mitcham, then 'The Long Paddocks' in the Netherby area. Hawthorn Oval was originally called Price Oval and was developed by Club members ('The Hawthorn Oval Trust') during 1909 and 1910 and later transferred to the Mitcham Council. It was the site of the first SAAFL match ever played. In the early 1920s Mitcham was regarded as one of the strongest teams outside the S.A.N.F.L., defeating Sturt in a trial match in a year when 7 Mitcham players went on to play for Sturt. The Club's colours of blue and gold date from the reformation of the Club after the war when the Myer department store had a set of guernseys going cheap because they were not as ordered by another club. In the post-war period it was a dominant member of the Sturt District and Adelaide Metropolitan associations with 4 premierships and 5 seconds until it joined the SAAFL in 1968. It won a flag in its first year and rose quickly to A2, but thereafter struggled and won its next SAAFL 'A' premiership in 1987 in grade A5, with Glenelg South premierships in 1977 and 1984 along the way. The club-rooms at Hawthorn Oval were extended in co-operation with the Sturt Cricket Club in 1984. The Club games record holder is Ray Murray who played over 400 games.

Well done to Portland today they definatly had the better of the umpiring decisions. Mitcham were 5 goals up at half time when the "man" in white took the game on and proceeded to give 4 very soft consecutive free kicks inside portland's 50 in a row in the 3rd quarter. Portland ended up with 7 goals from free kicks in the last half. BOG would have to be the man in white what a disgrace

A fantastic game that was capped off with what possibly could be goal of the century. A close tussle all day saw SMOSH up by 9 points with five minutes to go. An opportunity arose and Ben Jackson started a run from full back as Mitcham's undisciplined centreman gave away a 50 m penalty. The SMOSH midfielders shared the ball with Nick Martin eventually spotting up the streaming forwa
