Draft Profile Kane Mitchell

[markm106]

What can people tell me about this guy. 22 yo won the sandover equalling Priddis record votes tally. Apparently did a pre season with Freo last year. Any chance to be drafted/rookied?

 

[Cyril_Grip]

Seem to remember his name being thrown about last year, haven't seen much of him though. Pretty short if i remember correctly.

Runs all day. Can't kick.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Runs all day. Can't kick.

People have said the same about priddis and he looks pretty good now.

A team like Melbourne or Carlton could do a lot worse.

 

[sTeeL]

Truly elite endurance. Absolutely awful kick. Would be hated by any team that drafted him.

 

[neng]

I see him as a player who will dominate at WAFL level, but come AFL his kicking will keep getting exposed. If he works on it the way he does his fitness though, then he is a chance to make it. But his kicking is truly horrific.

 

[tigs2010]

So I take it he can't kick?

 

[Omega Blue]

so sounds like ed curnow mkII

 

[Mattman93]

Very meh.

 

[Prem87]

He does deserve an opportunity though. Who knows how he might turn out after a couple of preseasons. Someone should at least rookie him.

 

[blueboy25]

Would fit in down at freo

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Runs all day. Can't kick.

Sounds like most of our list, except the runs all day part. Sign him up!

 

[Eastern Rangers]

He's also a short arse at 174cm.

 

[Upgrayedd]

At least priddas was an inside midfielder who couldnt kick

To be a winger at AFL level you need to dispose of the ball spot on, Kane struggles with this, he's just as quick/as fit as most AFL players, just his skill level is way down

 

[Mister E]

Ross lyon picked up Clinton Jones who is a similar player

Wouldn't put it past him, to have a look

 

[democritus]

Well, if McPhee calls it quits we'll need another Skeletor lookalike to fill the void...

 

[placebo]

Epitome of someone suited to the seconds but not good enough for AFL.

Mitchell makes Jones look pretty silky. Also, as others have pointed out is 174 cm. Plays as a wingman and I've seen nothing to suggest he has the capability to perform a shutdown role.

 

[Jackfrost]

Looks like a girl, plays like a girl... actually that's an insult to girls

 

[keviewiggle]

Would fit in down at freo

He is a better kick than Matt DeBoar

 

[yaco55]

Does it matter if his kicking is questionable - 50% of AFL players are below average kicks.

 

[democritus]

He is a better kick than Matt DeBoar

Who's that?

 

[markm106]

Apparently collingwood keen to take Mitchell in rookie draft. Port also keen.

 

[Masto]

Good luck to him.

 

[Kram]

Not sure he has the tools to make it at the highest level.
