Mature Age Recruits

[Armored Switch]

I thought I make a thread on Mature Age Recruits. The club usually take 1 sometimes 2 at the Rookie Draft and AFL Draft. I reckon the Sandover Medal winner is a good player to work with remind me of another Matt Priddis. Kane Mitchell is a very quick player with skills that have improved. He reminds me a shorter version of Tommy Alvin, it would be good too see another Tommy with the number 31 on his back. The Claremont club also been a good breeding ground for Carlton.

Here is a Article on him

He played a great game in the Grand Final kicked 3 goals and kicked the goal that ended the Sharks run in the last quarter. Paul Medhurst Kicked 6 goals. I hope we had some spies at the game

Thought he was a member of Hansen for a second

is that you again starchamber? This guy looks ok

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Hmmmn i watch a fair few Claremont games,
He's a gun, hard bodied, in and under extracts the ball but can run past on the outisde.

His kicking effeciency can be down but i think this is because he hacks it out of the middle often Ala Josh P. Kennedy
I still think he is a passable kick around the ground


You look at people like Zorko who dominated his comeptition, won back to back to back to back best and fairests at his club etc. Mitchell is only just starting to emerge, has always been good but stepped it up this year so im not too sure about what stance to take. Is he on the verge of going to the next level or is this his plateau and he'll be a very good state player for years to come.

Looks like a spudchamber.

Is that Victor Muture ?

 

[Azul]

What's in a name?

We have 2 Mitchells but only one Kane.

We should recruit him just so I can call dibs on "Mitchell2Mitchell"

"Kane (Lucas) gathers the ball on the half back-line. Handballs to Kane Mitchell who spears a pass to Luke Mitchell. Who dishes off to Mitchell Robinson."

Contratulations, if you google "muture" this page is the third thing to come up. Optimization huzzarh.

What happens if you google "Contratulations"?

EDIT: I actually tried it and this tosser came up

Sounds like a nice VFL call

Don't worry about it dude, we all make mistakes, we're just having a bit of fun.

To answer your question regarding mature age recruits, I think we may go for another one imo, probably a small defender.

Given how well Duigan worked out for us, it wouldn't surprise me if we do pick up another mature-age bloke. I don't know anything about this particular guy, but given that he sounds like a good inside mid, so it might depend on whether we pick up Caddy. If we do get Caddy, then we may not really be in the market for another rookie inside mid. I'll read the article you linked in a minute.

not enough beard...

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

Of those that played in the VFL today, Noonan and Dwyer would be the two most likely to get a chance, with Burstin also a chance. I reckon there will be a few clubs trying to snaffle Burbury and Simpkin from Geelongs rookie list.

Good Post What about Kane from Port Melbourne, ive seen a few Port games over the last few years and have always been impressed with him, i wonder why no one has ever even rookied him?

 

[RAPPA]

Pretty sure he had a gig as Taipan on Gladiators

 

[No1Suspect]

Burbury did look good in the granny WWP...

John McCarthys cousin looked ok as well, his name evades me though!

Then the obvious Dean Towers...

 

[blueboy25]

Mitchell will not stand up to the heat of the AFL, soft outside player with good endurance. Would spend his time in the VFL.

Same skill set as Dennis Armfield with out the toughness and fight of Dennis.

 

[T2B_]

We seem to have omitted the most important detail for any draftee...

Did he support Carlton as a kid???

 

[Sin City]

Jaye Bowden from Glenorchy is probably the only mature aged player from Tassie that will be considered. Good all round player but nothing really stands out to me any more than most players that get rookied.

 

[blueroy]

From what I've seen this year I like woffinden(?) from Port Melbourne, he's 19 and can seriously break the lines
