Better.

Why- is he better than Serhat? GC had the chance to pick Luke as a 17 yr old- he trained with them and they didn't.

Temel was/is a one dimensional footballer who was/is very slow.

Mitchell isn't quick but he thinks and acts fast and moves well across the ground. In Mitchell's case the GC17 chose Alex Keath ahead of him last year but you have to remember there was only one team looking at players as part of these concession choices. Last year 16 clubs had a look at Temel and none of them picked him. That says something.

I'm prepared to have a bet with you that Mitchell gets picked well before the second round of the draft is over.

Because they could choose the best 12 in the bloody nation!

Btw, I wouldn't want to claim him as 'my Serhat'.

Seriously, unless you're related, let go...

Thanks for your thoughts and explanation. Luke played very well at CHB as well this year. Thanks also for your updates-very well done and I appreciated it very much.

I think JCB is trying to promote Mitchell as way above Temel. And at the same time saying he spotted him over 12 months ago.

Not a problem.

I'm hanging around for the VFL Grand Final. I just cannot believe Preston are in it. What happened to Willi?

Have a look at the team sheet- they have got something like 14 listed Carlton players in it.Maybe if we didn't have so many injuries Casey would be there. 2011 is our year. With regards my questioning re Temel & Mitchell-I was just questioning your thoughts. Serhat kicked 5 last year.Mitchell kicked 3.

I wasn't able to make today as I am in Malaysia. I went and watched the prelm's last week and thought Luke was also a little slow.Similar to Serhat. Just liked your opinion.And please note Enforcer- I was just querying another poster's thoughts as I respect others opinions and in particular The Oracle's.- unlike you-I do respect other 's views as well..And as I really rated Luke last year as a 17 year old.Maybe if you got off your butt and went to look for yourself you maybe become a little bit more learned than you are right now rather than the dribble you carry on with - on most occasions.

Mitchell looked very good in last year's TAC Cup grand final when he kicked three goals and showed a lot of promise. He suffered a shoulder injury which kept him out of the game for most of the season but has shown a lot since he came back.

One of Melbourne's needs is a tall key forward so he has to be in the mix for selection by us in the national draft.

Great comments like usual WJ- He is also versatile as I stated earlier- can hold down CHB as well.I think, by memory he ia about 194 cms tall also- please advise.

According to the opening post from The Oracle above, he is now 196cm tall so he's grown a little bit since last year. I think he might make a great forward foil for Jack Watts at some time in the future.

They were definitely all there last week. A large contingent of recruiting people were sitting near me including BP and Dean Bailey and even Bailey's son. Gotchie was there as well in a different part of the ground.

I wouldn't get completely carried away just yet with Mitchell because there are quite a few mobile tall forwards in the mix who have no doubt attracted the attention of the recruiting people. I guess we have to wait another two months or so to find out.

Agree- plenty of time and they know a hell of alot better than us-another LJ with a few more pounds would do me just fine thank you very much.

If you're still there Oracle, I'd appreciate an update on the VFL grand final. Last I heard the Roosters were well on top.

Nth Ballarat too good. Quite a few impressive players for the three-peat premiers. Most notably the two Smiths.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
