A defender who was used mainly in the back pocket, Mutch made his VFL debut in the same game as future Hall of Famer Dan Minogue. He was a member of Collingwood's 1917 premiership team and was one of the 'Best on Ground' in another Grand Final win two years later.
He later umpired 47 VFL games between 1923-27 which included three finals and one grand final.[1]
