[Mitchell Madness]

Has taken better marks than naughton,and when he gains some consistency we will have the best tall forward in the game

Big night MM?

Yikes, maybe a bit of a stretch at this point. Naughton’s pack mark last week was incredible. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sold on Hodgey, but let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves.

 

[Lawsy]

Certainly looks to be gaining confidence and took so great grabs today.
Our boys looked to have found confidence in Mitch too, looking for him to be the focal target and then watching him deliver.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

7 marks and a couple of them were bloody magnificent.
2 goals is the kind of contribution we want while he's learning.

 

[Nick the Pig]

Today would've been a huge confidence builder for Mitch. Davis is no mug and Lewis more than held his own. Took some great grabs, competed in everything and got on the scoreboard.

 

[beta_condition]

His kicking for goal seems a lot more natural and how he would kick at Box Hill first few weeks he looked a little nervous seems to be settling in nicely. 13th in the league for average contested marks! but what I liek most is his follow up work to provide pressure.

 

[Roddy]

We've had somewhat of a procession of potential key forwards that haven't really panned out for us in the last 10 years or so, from Thorp to Schoey to O'Brien, it's about time we nailed one. I have immense optimism about the new Mitch.

he put in an awesome effort today. Pack marking and that goal from 50 was sublime

 

[toomanysquibs]

He's opening the door slowly but steadily, and it honestly looks like he's now just maybe 3-12 months away from truly 'arriving'. There's bit of J. Brown about his hands and movement too. Bloody exciting.

Non of the players you mention ever dominated the VFL like Mitch did last year nor did they ever show the contest ability at AFL level.

 

[halfback dasher]

Two young KFs played yesterday ... one the AFL already speaks of in glowing terms
Ratugilea 7disp /1mark/1tackle
The other has barely rated a mention ..
Lewis 12disp/ 7marks /1tackle / 1.2 score

Yep. Ratugolea is overrated as f***. But that’s the way we like it!

Yes I know, that’s why my optimism is so high.

 

[MrPremiership]

Just needs to put on some size....has all the other tools.

Similar numbers to Nash
Looks like we got 2 future KPF stars

 

[Davo-27]

In fairness, Mitchell Lewis is only made to look good by the good players around him.

Or was hat Mitchell & Lewis?

 

[bumsonseats]

Got to love his contested marking and seeing his confidence grow as his got more into the game.
Love watching the development of the young fellas. Cant wait to see what he might become after another 40 games this year and next.

 

[bumsonseats]

Perhaps you can shed some light for us all Davo

 

[The Chad and I]

THIS GUY MARKS!
Am I right?

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

Official arrival v the Giants yesterday. Was everywhere. Will be remembered as it was the week Roughead was omitted.

Had the attributes to become a great.

That kick

Never looked like missing

Goddamn

 

[StillAtLarge]

His tank/workrate was the thing that impressed me most. I recall him taking a decent grab on the wing then clunking a big mark 15 out from goal 30 seconds later

 

[MrPremiership]

Looked like he enjoyed the space more.

Put Patton in the goal square, give Lewis the 50 and just beyond the arcs. Thats your new twin towers for the next 8-10 years
