If West Coast fans thought gun recruit Sam Mitchell was good in 2012, they should have seen him the year before. Or a few years later.The former Hawthorn onballer this week added the AFLs greatest individual accolade to his decorated resume, named co-Brownlow Medallist alongside Richmond captain Trent Cotchin, after Essendons Jobe Watson was stripped of the award.Cotchin, who also earned his sole All-Australian selection and was named the AFL coaches associations player of the year in 2012, looks back on it as his best season. Not so Mitchell.Its awkward to say probably not but I dont think so, Mitchell said with a grin on Thursday.I had a strong season, obviously Im sitting here (as a Brownlow Medallist) but probably the year before I was slightly better.I was ineligible (through suspension) and Dane Swan polled 34, which was the most ever at that stage. I think Ive been reasonably consistent over those years.And he has. Mitchell was Hawthorns leading Brownlow vote-getter or runner-up in all but one of the past 10 years - the sole exception being 2014, when he missed nine weeks with a hamstring injury.He polled a career-high 30 votes when he fell short to Swan in 2011 and was arguably just as good in 2015, racking up 26 votes as the Hawks capped off their premiership three-peat.At 34, Mitchell will be the third-oldest active player in the AFL next season behind Western Bulldogs stalwarts Bob Murphy and Matthew Boyd.As with all players, father time is bound to catch up eventually.But Mitchells class and tactical nous suggest the Eagles have plenty to look forward to when he links up with his new teammates later this month.He and Cotchin will receive their Brownlow medals in a private ceremony next month and Mitchell says hes keen for the turmoil surrounding the 2012 award to be put to rest.Theres a lot of things that have happened in the past that have got very little to do with us, he said.But when Ive got my son sitting there and I get a phone call saying youre a Brownlow Medallist, Id be lying if I (said) it was not a joyful experience to share that with my family right at that point.

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said last month that forward Deonte Burtons goal should be to get a double-double every game.Burton got his first one out of the way Monday night, helping the 20th-ranked Cyclones through their first bout of minor adversity this season.Monte Morris scored 18 points, Matt Thomas added 13 and Iowa State beat Mount St. Marys 73-55.Burton had 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Cyclones (2-0), whove won their first two games by an average of 30 points.Hes made such great strides. Im very, very proud of him. But now hes got to continue to push himself to make the next step, Prohm said.Mount St. Marys (0-2) got within 10 early in the second half, but six Cyclones scored during a 15-1 run that put the game out of reach.Iowa State outrebounded Mount St. Marys 50-38, but it also shot an uncharacteristic 4 of 16 from 3-point range.Nick Weiler-Babb scored 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting and pulled down five rebounds for the Cyclones.It was a win. It probably wasnt our best performance offensively. At times defensively also, Morris said.Elijah Long, the brother of Iowa States Naz Mitrou-Long, had 19 points to lead the Mountaineers.BIG PICTUREIowa State: Through two games, its clear the rebuilt Cyclones have a ton of talent -- and theyre much deeper than they were a year ago. But fans wont start to find out if that will translate vs. top competition until next week, when the Iowa State travels to Orlando for a tournament that could include a matchup with No. 14 Gonzaga.Mount St. Marys: Long finally got to play against his brother with roughly 20 family membeers in attendance -- and Elijah helped his team keep it respectable.dddddddddddd The Mountaineers showed some fight too, pushing the Cyclones after falling behind by 17 at halftime.POLL IMPLICATIONSIowa State jumped up four spots on Monday simply by throttling Savannah State on Friday. A few more blowouts and a few more losses by teams ahead of the Cyclones could help Iowa State inch further up the poll.SIMEONS SUSPENSIONIowa State announced before the game that reserve Simeon Carter had been suspended three games for violating team rules. Its yet another setback for the once-promising recruit, who appears to be out of Prohms rotation for the second year in a row.HONORING DEJEAN-JONESIowa State honored former player Bryce Dejean-Jones, who was killed over the summer after a promising rookie season with the New Orleans Pelicans, by wearing warmup shirts with his number. A lot of people that didnt know him probably had their own opinion of him. But me personally, starting with the guy and seeing how he carried himself and preparing for games, it was big time, said Morris, who played with Dejean-Jones in 2014-15.UP NEXTIowa State hosts The Citadel on Sunday, and theres little doubt ball movement will be on the agenda in practice this week. The Cyclones had just 14 assists on 30 baskets.Mount St. Marys continues a brutal stretch of nine road games to start 2016-17 when it plays Minnesota on Wednesday.---More college basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
