Delisted #19: Kobe Mutch - Not offered a contract for 2021

[BrunoV]

I'm just going to come out and say it.

If Kobe Mutch played in the number 21 for Essendon, but the change of player was not announced the only difference that fans might notice would be that number 21 would start to hit targets.

The weird thing about AFL is that Mutch might not even have a career while the other guy will be lauded as something close to a champion.

I look forward to seeing Mutch too, but this might be one of the more premature and actually flat out unfair posts I've seen.

Does Mutch have the fitness to play the Stanton role? Does anyone except Ambrose?

Hard to tell, he’s got a big tank. Runs all day but VFL running is obviously lot less intense.

So it's time he went up a peg then? How's his kicking?

What?

Kicking is pretty good, but he didn't have a great pre-season due to surgery. Clarke is ahead of him only for that reason IMO, but Mutch is probably be better player. He'll definitely debut this season.

Tidy. Strong up to 45 metres but not a weapon. Decision making is good though.

Kicking is neat of both feet without being very damaging, mostly short passes. His fitness is very good that part isnt an issue. Speed would be his main knock for me but otherwise he is courageous overhead, he thinks through his disposals and runs both ways.

I think you've misunderstood the post unless you think I'm being unfair to Heppell.

Welcome to the ramblings of Bruno

 

[Howard Moon]

...all he was saying in three paragraphs was Mutch is as good as Heppell with possibility better disposal but lacks the profile hence may not make it

I don't see a problem with the sentiment.

 

[Doss]

Well yeah, except at this point he’s nowhere near Heppell.

 

[Howard Moon]

bit of crystal balling never hurt anyone

I've got high hopes for old mate Mutch, just a guy who keeps it simple and does everything he does well.

There's a point to this post, I just know it.

Congrats Mutchy!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Yay like the look of this kid congrats Kobe.

 

[PhoenixBonez]

Should provide Mutch better pressure than some of the blokes did on Wednesday.

 

[PhoenixBonez]

I like this selection very Mutch.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Welcome to the team...my dream team...good luck go well.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Long overdue.

Go get em Kobe.

 

[Vander18]

Will go hard all day. Good luck young fella!

That's his ideal position imo. Link man that can run all day.

 

[JuniorWatch]

Love this kid.
Exactly what we need to transition quicker and to get more numbers to contests.
Those who haven't seen him play try and guess which foot is his natural one.
