Rookie #57 Kane Mitchell

[Long live PAFC]

Very smart use of Kane. Use his running power and put him on a shorter player who is not renown for his overhead marking. Played his role to a tee!

Can question giving him games over a younger player but he thoroughly deserved it on form.

The tag is a role for a mature head.

cotchin is actually pretty good overhead for his size. he was shut down so well that he was moved to the forward line late on, & jasper toweled him up in the 1 on 1 stuff. Kano's first scalp, can he produce the goods against his namesake next week.

 

[Visenfest]

Never been a fan of Mitchell, but that was a great game. He deserves to keep his spot next week.

 

[Far Kern]

I'll put this in here too. He smashed Cotchin last night, and I reckon his mates might have enjoyed this:

 

[Duck Farmer]

Loved the way his team mates got around him when he kicked the goal. Clearly one of the most genuinely liked players at the club.

 

[DazzaTys]

We need to keep him at the club. If anybody can give a life lesson on perseverance he's the one. Get him into the fitness department or even as a runner if we don't keep him on next year.

 

[philreich]

Maybe Kane is the breath of fresh air our season needed. I'll be keen to see how he backs it up against the premiers next week, but that was a sight to behold last night.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Lots of people saying he should tag Mitchell next week. I dont think thats a great match up.

I'd send Ebert to Mitchell and then Mitchell to one ofvtheir runners like Smith.

Massive tank on him.
Friday night reminded me of the hawks game last year in that some of our players where clearly struggling to find their legs in the last while Kane's running around looking like he can run out another half

 

[Enviable Tradition]

His energy even in the warm up was noticable.

A gew times this year we have looked lazy and disinterested in the run throughs warming up. Kane got out there and was buzzing around like a blow fly and it almost looked like he shamed the others into lifting.

I was in the rooms last year and he was the pregame highlight. Amazing clubman.

A couple more performances like Friday night's game and we would have to consider starting Kane Mitchell on the Senior List in 2017. Not sure how many cumulative years a player can spend on a Rookie List. The suggestion that we retain Kane at the Club is a good one but at 27 years of age he might want to continue playing somewhere if he is not retained on our list.

Did you want to punch him?

Mitchell Vs Mitchell this week ?

Mitchell Vs Mitchell this week ?

 

[Kingfish73]

Mitchell v Mitchell
Ebert v Hodge
Krak V Rioli

Mitchell deserves his chance at Mitchell. But expect Lewis and other Hawks midfield to challenge him physically.

 

[Smithy7]

Ok, so I was wrong with Mitchell being selected .
Ken you showed a lot of people here, including myself, that you know what's best for the team.
After that goal by Kane I can see that the players love him.

 

[AdsGoNads]

Kane has the be one of the most under rated players on our list.

Don't care what people say, his attitude is Port Adelaide through and through!


Mitchell mania hits our comp - The West Australian

“He’s extremely dedicated and doesn’t give up,” Rhianna said. “He’s one of the hardest-working people I have ever met."

“We all went to Japan for Christmas and he found a way to go to the gym every day, even if it meant trudging through snow."

[Nemisis]

What are we going to do with Kane Mitchell?
Super clubman
Super hard trainer
Absolutely has got every ounce out of his given talent
Plays inspired AFL in patches
Superb Magpie performances
????

 

[Chewy316]

Deserves another year on the rookie list. Is a good player for 5-6 games a year. Gives his absolute all, and we can't say that about quite a few of the players on the team. Given our list has plenty of down hill skiers on it, delisting arguably the hardest worker on it is almost hypocritical.
There are plenty of more players on our list who I would be getting rid of before Mitchell.

 

[Dylan8]

sign him up as a runner
bend the rules and sign him up for the black and white

or else he's gotta go.

 

[broombroom9]

He's out for mine. Worked hard but not quite afl std, and we don't need to be holding on to players we know won't make it

 

[Schulzenfest]

Great bloke and tries hard but he should have been gone two years ago.
