Mitchell Hinge (born 26 June 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Brisbane Lions and was drafted by Brisbane from Glenelg with the 20th selection in the 2017 rookie draft prior to the 2017 AFL season.
He is the brother of former Adelaide player John Hinge.[1]
AFL career
[edit]Hinge made his debut in the win against Adelaide at The Gabba in round nine of the 2019 season, following a string of strong performances in the NEAFL playing for Brisbane Lions.[1]
After only 3 games between 2017 and the COVID-19-affected 2020 for Brisbane, Hinge was delisted by the club. Adelaide, who had interest in the South Australian, signed Hinge as a delisted free agent prior to the 2021 AFL season.[2] Hinge was one of three Crows to debut in the opening game of the 2021 season, which resulted in the biggest upset in Adelaide's history against Geelong at the Adelaide Oval. Unfortunately, Hinge severely injured his shoulder during the game, and did not recover in time to play again that year.[3]
Prior to the 2024 AFL season, Hinge joined Adelaide's leadership group as one of the senior players of the club following his breakout season.[4]
