Fearless ball magnet Sam Mitchell is Hawthorn's current-day Peter Crimmins.
So says Marngrook Footy Show host Grant Hansen.
"Sam Mitchell attacks his footy in exactly the same style as the great Peter Crimmins," he said.
"No surprises that Sam wears Peter's famous No. 5 guernsey," he said.
Mitchell capped a sensational year by winning his third best and fairest award (Peter Crimmins Medal).
Replaced as captain by Luke Hodge, Mitchell kept his chin up and played brilliant footy as the Hawks almost made the grand final (the brown and golds suffered a heart-breaking three-point loss to Collingwood in the preliminary final).
Mitchell polled 177 votes to beat improved backman Josh Gibson on 160.
Play-maker Grant Birchall's outstanding form across the half-back line saw him finish third on 138.
Lance Franklin polled 135 with Luke Hodge 126, Jordan Lewis 125, Liam Shiels 105, Cyril Rioli 103, Brad Sewell 102 and Shaun Burgoyne 86 making up the top 10.
Gibson won the most consistent and best finals player awards.
Lewis won the best clubman award with Paul Puopolo named the best first year player.
