Interchange with Mitchell White

Sharon Snowdon and Brooke Anderton

Mitchell White - Mr Nice Guy of the West Coast Eagles. We were getting our papers and pens set up when the over 6ft tall guy himself, walked through the door - nearly hitting the door frame!

We took him up to the lounge room. Not long after he sat down we started firing questions at him that he willingly answered - well most of them! ! !

It's not every day you have the exclusive attention of a well-known Eagle who's prepared to answer practically everything you ask him. Well, here it all is - from Mitchell White
