Mitch Wallis Parents & Nationality Explored
Mitch Wallis is the son of Sue and Stephen Wallis. His father was also a football player. However, not much is known about his mother.
Stephen is a former Footscray Football Club player who played in the Victorian Football League for the Footscray Football Club (VFL). He currently holds the club record for the most consecutive games played since his debut.
Wallis, who was born in Leongatha, Victoria, joined Footscray in 1982 and suffered an injury in a reserves game that kept him out for the rest of the season.
He made his senior VFL debut in 1983 and quickly established himself as a reliable defender and occasional midfielder.
He announced his retirement in 1996 and played his final game in a three-point defeat to Essendon (which is documented in the film Year of the Dogs).
Mitch Wallis Injury Details
Mitch Wallis suffered a horrific leg injury on July 23, 2016, when he kicked the lower part of his left leg with his right foot while being handled by Shane Savage midway through the last quarter of the Western Bulldogs’ 15-point loss to St Kilda, breaking both the tibia and fibula.
The injury ended his season, and he thus missed the club’s premiership victory in October.
He made his AFL debut for the Bulldogs as a substitute player in Round 5 against Fremantle at Patersons Stadium, replacing Tom Williams at three-quarter time.
Wallis was nominated for the 2012 AFL Rising Star award in round four of the 2012 AFL season.
