Mitchell looks / sounds like a Priddis but with pace. Gets plenty of it but question marks over kicking efficiency. But with pace you can chase, run down opponents and apply defensive pressure as well as be a running link player by hand.
As for kicking how do you rate Dane Swans disposal by foot BTW? At times Swan kicks like a donkey but can be very effective.
I wouldn't be knocking mids who have the tools to get plenty of the ball, who have good pace and endurance. Especially with this modern style of every player moving up and down the field leaving half the field open and free.
u r kidding? mitchell doesn't look or sound AT ALL like Priddis. Priddis can get the ball and is inside. Mitchell doesn't get plenty of it, where do you get that from.
also Priddis is about a foot taller than him and Masten is about 5-10kgs heavier than. yes thats what you are dealing with.
dane swans disposal is waaaaay better than Mitchells. he also is good overhead, kicks goals and is a brownlow medalist. silly comparison.
i am sure our issue isn't running up and down the field. we lack some class in our midfield. kane mitchell doesn't provide anything we don't already have. he isn't some sort of line breaker. he just looks like it because he is a very tiny man.
in saying that, good on mitchell for working hard to get on an afl list. but he isn't anywhere near what wce need.
