Senior 11. Mitchell Edwards (2023 - )

[dazbroncos]

With Pick 32 in the 2023 National Draft Geelong have selected:


Hes a Cats upporter...

Mitchell Edwards Welcome to the Club

206 cms

And he was a Freo NGA that we grabbed before they could bid on him.

Likened to Tim English.

GO Catters

 

[ShaunWDT]

Will take time as hes built like a twig but the ruck craft is already there, probably the best Ruck left on the board.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Welcome Mitch.

[strauchnyy]

Cannot play in the same team as Conway. Strange selection

 

[BuRgeRs82]

This pick tells me that we might have no chance in ever getting [PLAYERCARD]Sean Darcy[/PLAYERCARD].

 

[crocsta]

He averaged almost a goal a game. I wonder if he is can also be a tall forward / 2nd ruck option in the future. With his leap and height, he could be a difficult match up for the opposition

 

[cats_09]

This pick tells me that we might have no chance in ever getting Sean Darcy.

Hasn't that already been repeatedly ruled out by both Geelong and the Darcy clan

Happy to see us go with a youngster instead

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Yes he can. Conway is your traditional ruck and edwards is your tdk style 2nd ruck.

[Heckler]

Cats continue to select Key Position players
Now have 2 Ruckmen that can take a decent grab
Mitch also looks comfortable as a marking forward.
Also a good mover and decent kick.
Will take a few years to fill out... will be worth the wait
3 guys 206 tall. in the same team?...mmmm?
SDK Defense : Conway Ruck : Edwards Forward

 

[killerspud]

still surprised he went to the cats - I hear he really REALLY likes the dogs

 

[dazbroncos]

Sticky hands for a 206 bloke.
Decent skills too.
3 year slow cook starts now.

GO CAtters

Why surprised?

Are you suggesting he's lying?

 

[Two Planks]

The [PLAYERCARD]Sean Darcy[/PLAYERCARD] rumours have been going on for as long as the [PLAYERCARD]Scott Lucas[/PLAYERCARD]'s ones from 20 years ago. Move on.

 

[Play it Sam]

still surprised he went to the cats - I hear he really REALLY likes the dogs

Question is, do the dogs like him. Obviously not as much as us.
Unless you're playing on words, a hint that Stevie j takes him to the greyhounds maybe?

If there's an inside joke that you're getting at, might be time to let it slip before the mods move you on your way.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

This pick tells me that we might have no chance in ever getting Sean Darcy.

I think we moved past Sean Darcy years ago. Put in a token contract offer to see that the kid gets a decent deal and that's about it

If you were to rank the Rucks in this draft, top 5, who are they?

He averaged almost a goal a game. I wonder if he is can also be a tall forward / 2nd ruck option in the future. With his leap and height, he could be a difficult match up for the opposition

So then Neale won't get a game?

The Sean Darcy rumours have been going on for as long as the Scott Lucas's ones from 20 years ago. Move on.

I think the Scott Lucas rumours are still going... lol

 

[Shadow89]

Apparently a Geelong supporter and 'ecstatic to be going to his beloved Cats.' Bodes well homesickness wise

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

His foot skills look pretty good. For hitouts, he's rated above average, and for hitouts to advantage, he's rated elite. At 206cm he's a good prospect. It puts pressure on Conway to perform now he has competition. Stanley may only have a year left, two tops. I thought this was a clever pick from the Cats.

Welcome Mitchy ..

Given Conway inj issues .
Good pick thumb

 

[bellpark]

Love this pick - great potential in his own right but also essential given Conways durability issues - it’s tough on your body in the ruck so this is welcome depth as well as offering a forward/ruck option. Couldn’t ask for a better base as a ruckman. Head down, work hard Mitch and can’t wait to see you run out with the ones.

 

[Lingsface]

Great pick could be our number 1 ruckman within 2 years, has a load of talent and could be the steal of the draft. I was lobbying for him, I dont care if we have another developing ruck, there is plenty of room for 2.
