WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MITCHELL CLISBY

[McQueen 17,864]

Agree McQueen he is already in front of at least five at the dees.

He hits targets

I reckon the 5 you mention might be at other clubs or no longer are on our list.

Two of them are at WCE.

[Biffen 12,937]

Geez I'm glad his nickname isn't spelled with an "T" in it.

That would bring a lot of people a lot of pleasure.

[old dee 23,560]

No I actually think both of them are decent kicks.

[hardtack 10,441]

Looks to have great awareness and weights his kicks beautifully.

His short kicks remind me a lot of Davey at his best - great control.

[Demon Jack 6,787]

I like what I see. Provides great run off half back and has a lovely kick on him. He looks similar to Davey when he played half back. Definitely one to watch out for

[McQueen 17,864]

Well give me the five he's in front of, old dee.

Put me out of my misery.

[Left Field 313]

100% right foot kicks in the highlights package - will need to go the other side at the higher level.

His break to space is consistently a "dink to the right" (putting himself on his right foot). That will be figured out very quickly at the higher level where they will man up that side forcing him inwards. So he is miles from a finished product imo.

That said, he weights his (right foot) kicks extremely well and definitely has compsoure to find the target. Tackles we saw were good. Looks like a link up player (does he "go" inside as well?) and can't tell about his pace (cause its only SANFL).

Runs and carries the ball a bit like a young James McDonald.

Nice rookie prospect.

I have just run it again and quite right - very predictable and gets away with it at this level.

But I do like his pace (again at a lower level) and fierce fearless tackling, good disposal and awareness. Could become a decent AFL player, on the other hand could find himself out of his depth. That surely is what rookie listing is about.

[Satan 2,857]

Nice highlights package. Good vision and decision making, could play of halfback?

Bigger crowd than a Port home game

[Demon 16 198]

Moves like a young Matthew Pavlich....Anyone else notice that from the highlights package??

Absolutely.

Also reminds me a lot of Paul Salmon.

[Nasher 33,607]

Pavlich, Salmon... and all in the rookie draft! Yeah yeah I know nobody is claiming he'll reach those heights, but still I can't help but chuckle at the ridiculous comparisons.

[Gippsland Dee 367]

This guy looks the goods lets hope our success in the rookie draft continues!

[Left Field 313]

Reckon that might have been sarcastic Nasher ???? TBH I'm not sure.

[beelzebub 23,254]

Good vision and decision making, could play of halfback?

My thoughts similar.. Seems very unflustered and makes a bit of space for himself.

Highlights are obviously that but seems to have a good head for the game.

Ok. Unlike you to belittle anyone Nasher. Ridiculous comparisons???

Anyone with half a brain knows he will never be Pavlich, I was only stating that he moves alot like a young Pavlich, the way he runs, marks and moves through traffic - I thought looked he quite similar. If he even has 2 years on the rookie list I'd be happy.

It's ridiculous. Especially when you don't put riders on it like you are now doing.

I think he moves like a young Milton Berle...

So you dont agree? You have an obsession with Americans. Odd.

[beelzebub 23,254]

Rockchester !!!!!

I do live in the 51st state.

Clisby moves like Henry Parkes...

Don't be so sensitive, HG. If you lose it to Nasher, you'll have a hard time on here.

[hardtack 10,441]

Rockchester !!!!!

err, that was Jack Benny (not Berle)

All good mate, just this place is frustrating sometimes!! Wasnt Henry Parkes a Sir? Im not sure, probably got the wrong guy...but he would have fresh legs by now, been rested up for a while.

[TRIGON 4,783]

I'm with you HG, to me Clisby's style of movement does look similar to Pavlich's.

[H_T 3,042]

If the kid jumped in the solarium for a couple of days, I might see a resemblance.....(kidding HG).

Too early to tell for me, but what I have seen has impressed me. If you were to ask me for some form of comparison from a present or past player, all I could offer at this stage is a young Cameron Bruce. But he appears in the short vision I've seen, more advanced with his handball and reflexes than what Cam was.

How's that?

Now I'll wait for Nasher to pour some more cold water on the comparisons.

[dazzledavey36 53,398]

He actually reminds me of brent reilly from the adelaide crows.

[H_T 3,042]

He actually reminds me of brent reilly from the adelaide crows.

That was another player I initially thought of dd36. Some of the characteristics are similar in terms of posture and/or composure.
