A defender who was used mainly in the back pocket, Mutch made his VFL debut in 1911 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.
Mutch later umpired 47 VFL games between 1923 and 1927 which included three finals and one grand final.[1]
