In the immortal words of Kool and the Gang:

Does anyone actually know how good he is supposed to be?

Are we getting a bargain? Given our first round pick is probably going to be something between 10 and 20 next year - what pick would he be going in the open market (if not taken by GWS)

Put it this way he was never going to be available at next years National Draft if we didn't agree to take him under the Father-Son Rule. GWS would of taken him this year as one of their 12 - 17 year old selections that would of played in the VFL next year.

But regarding your question that if he was available in next years National Draft, going on his form in the Under 16 National Championships this year he would of gone Top 10 as things stand. So to get him to commit this far out is a bonus and what pick we give up is to be decided next year when bidding happens and by then his stock could fall (highly unlikely with the GWS picks taken out).

So its a win at this stage.

Robbie, GWS have not signed up to play VFL next year as they are waiting to see what happens with the proposed Eastern seaboard comp.
 
great news, our midfield is looking good for the future, so where does that leave our pick this year? Do we pick another kid, another mature age or trade? Anyone have a sniff of any players out of contract not going to GC we may be looking at?

has anyone got any video footage of him playing so we can get a sneek peek of our new gun recruit?
He hasn't played seniors yet, and was injured as bloodstainedangel said so he wasn't really involved in the underage championships. He might not get much senior time next season either, as he's at Claremont who are an incredibly strong side. But if he does I will get some footage and put up some reports
 
Well done to sydney for getting mitchell,from the reports of healy and co on the couch you may have just picked up the number 1 draft pick of 2011 had he been fair game for all.:thumbsu:

He was born in May so I don't think he was eligible to be taken as a 17 year old (unless the GWS rules are different to the GC17 rules). But GWS could have got him to commit to them a year early by pledging one of their first 3 picks for him, in the same way as GC17 have with Swallow.
