News Kane Mitchell upgraded

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Well done to the lad. Worked hard to finally get his shot at AFL level. Hopefully he can keep proving himself.

“It’s a huge honour to be promoted onto Port Adelaide’s senior list. There are no guarantees that I’ll get a game but I’ll just continue working hard and playing my role on the training track.

“I was very excited when Ken (senior coach Ken Hinkley) gave me the news. He was very measured and explained that it’s come from hard work and it’s hard work that’ll get you where you want to go.”

Excellent, well done Kane

I really like this guy, willing to forgive any misgivings about his disposal due to his huge work rate. Really glad we picked him up and I think he can become a valuable player for us.

What role do you guys expect he will play for PA this year?

 

[Forzaport]

Awesome news!

Looks like he'll be in the 25 for Round 1 at least - might even debut which would be massive for him.

 

[Chrizzt]

A lot of people don't have him in their best 22 (from that thread), myself included. I like the guy, just not sure where he will fit in. Guess he could play the super-sub for a bit, but who would he push out of the current team, or does he have to wait for injury?

I'd have him ahead of Aaron Young for now.

 

[HugeJohnson]

I'll love him until he makes the team and turns it over every second touch. Then I'll become frustrated and ask why he keeps getting picked and that he'll never make it.

Nah but seriously, good on him. Hope he gets a run soon.

I rekon we will go Mitchell small forward/mid and then replaced at 3qtr time with Neade as a sub.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Don't see him as a sub. The sort of player who can run all day.

Young can be sub for now imo.

 

[Noobz0r]

Interesting, you would think that Mitchell being upgraded means that the coaches see him in our squad of 25. I wouldn't, however, have him in our 22 at this point.

Either way, congrats Kane. Much deserved promotion and hopefully the beginning of a good debut season

 

[cj_09]

I reckon i'm almost as happy as what Mitchell is right now with the news.

Absolute great news for the lad.

I rate him as being in our best 22 and fingers crossed he gets a gig this weekend.

yep i was doing a round 1 22 the other day and had mitchell as the sub until I thought further, he has the energy to go top speed all day long - wasted as a sub

i had neade as sub in the end. Love what he brings, but he doesnt seem ready for 4 quarters yet

 

[Doctor Feel]

Dreamteamers like this.

Same, but I would prefer to have Neade starting... too much X factor to leave him sitting on as a sub. As TSW said Young as the sub (or Moore).

Congrats to Kane, well deserved. Not in my Rnd 1 team though but great depth that undoubtedly will get called upon sooner rather than later.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Great stuff. Great to have a super-fit dynamo kid with big guns upgraded.

 

[bomberclifford]

Excellent news. By all reports, he set his sights on taking this opportunity by the throat and throttling it into submission. Look forward to seeing him in action.

BTW...
We now have two players called Kane who can run all day but with issues over their disposal.
One looks like Daniel Day-Lewis while the other looks like Jack Palance.

 

[Steve Dore]

Well done Kane

Which one is Kane Boak?

 

[Shane_Mag]

Great news. Could be the steal of all the 2012 drafts.

 

[Portia]

Ab shots at training

 

[Pappagallo]

Which one is Kane Boak?

Kane Boak is Jack Palance. The Daniel Day-Lewis lookalike is Mitchell Cornes-Trengrove A.K.A. Danny the Butcher.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Well done, a fair reward for a committed pre-season and trial games.
