Maybe but I reckon we’d need a big marking type power forward as Marshall and Georgiades probably won’t be that.

Draft bolter goes from a year out of footy to a first-round pick
Port Adelaide's new forward hasn't played since the end of 2018 but that didn't stop the Power

In case not posted
NEW PORT Adelaide forward Mitch Georgiades is the bolter of the 2019 NAB AFL Draft, selected with pick No.18 despite missing the entire year with a quad injury.
Georgiades' former coach at WAFL club Subiaco, Jarrad Schofield, helped get him over the line.
"We tracked Mitch obviously last year, then he gets injured and doesn't play, so it's a bit of an unknown for a lot of people who heard his name mentioned," Port Adelaide head of recruiting Geoff Parker said.
"Obviously, he's a Subiaco boy, Jarrad Schofield coached Subiaco last year … so we spoke to the (current) coach of Subiaco as well. We did a lot of background information on him.
Parker said Georgiades is fully over his quad injury and will be right to go in round one.
"We've got a group of players we still like, so we knew with the first pick tomorrow we could pick who we want," Parker said.
"We've taken a couple of phone calls as to whether we want to trade it already. There's also a few players who we really like who are sitting there, so we're in a really good spot for tomorrow night."

Was thinking about this after the draft...
The future vision of a forward line of: Butters, Buzz, Farrell, Georgiades, Marshall & Ladhams/Hayes has a lot of potential.
Hope we get to see glimpses of this kid at AFL level next year.

That he didn't play a game in the WAFL this year and they still thought enough of him to try and get him in for the finals is impressive for mine. Don't mind him at all.

Could turn out to be a steal. That injury worked to our favour. Went early but maybe the club had intel that another club would pick him before our next selection. I think our recruiting has been more than reasonable in recent years. I'm prepared to back the team on this selection.
Keep your eye on the ball Kane Farrell, or you could be next in the Hinkley go explore your options basket.

That's how I see it too:
Ladhams (Hayes) - [KPF] - Mitch
[HFF] - Todd - [HFF]
[HFF] - Todd - [HFF]
We already probably have the smalls. So, we only need to add a target or three to our list.
Another positive about this (probably already mentioned, I haven't read everything) is that if he is indeed "Schoey's guy", then the club is obviously serious about Schofield as someone to seriously consider for the caretaker/2020 role.
Honestly if we wanted to have a big risky reach, this is exactly the way you do it.

Pittard was Buddha Hocking’s guy, I wouldn’t read too much into it.
Love it. He sounds like he comes from a great family, humble and hard working. I think Mitch could be a Xavier Duursma pick insofar as he was a pick that none of us so-called experts were expecting, and initially didn't like, but one year later has fast become a lot of supporters favourite. I like this pick. Welcome to Port Mitch!

Is he from Greek decent? He may be either Macedonian or Cyprian.

Those in shock with this selection initially must surely be comforted by now. The kid can play footy and if we believe Schoey knows more about this kid than we do, then we should be happy.
As always with every recruit, time will tell but the more I see the more I like.
