WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MITCHELL WHITE

Featured Replies

Second Round Rookie Pick. Dandenong Stingrays.

And we're done. Full list, no Tapscott. Shame.

White capped off a fine year in the TAC Cup, winning the club champion award.

Mitchell predominantly played as a rebound defender, culminating in a best and fairest for the Stingrays this year. Hes a long, raking left-foot kick, who has really good defensive nous, national recruiting manager Jason Taylor toldmelbournefc.com.au.

Story: White selected at No.20

Highlights: Mitchell White's highlights

18 year old rebounding defender from Dandenong Stingrays. 188cm, 85kg.

Won the best and fairest this year averaging 19 disposals and 5 marks per game this year and was also in their best 11 out of 16 games.

 

I was worried he was the former Eagles and Cats forward/ruck.

Anyway, looks like a solid body and a left footer with some skill from half back is exactly what we need.

I wonder what his injuries were.

Taken from bigfooty as posted by DMoore30.

I know a small portion of the White family and Mitch played for the same junior club as I. With good knowledge I can confirm that for his size he is a competitive kid, was a big goal kicking CHF as a junior but turned to a defender when he got selected to sting rays and Vic country, he won the FDJFL (league) best and fairest in under 15's and was a multiple best and fairest winner in a side that won 3 premierships in a row in the top division. Mitch played in the same side as Jack Lonie and Rourke Fischer, a massive kick of the footy and very athletic. Mitch was also involved in a cricket squad which went to England to tour. Multi-talented and is up for the challenge, good get for the dee's, a versitile player who can play both ends.

Edit: Due to his physical strength and abilities it wouldn't surprise me if he was recruited as a big bodied midfielder. He was always an athletic foward in juniors and a versatile defender in Sting-Rays. Has the capability to become a damaging midfielder.

He had a game at Fullback for Vic Country against WA in which he gathered 20 odd disposals and was damaging, one of the best on the field.


Highlights are up.

Wowee his kicking is seriously good! I know they are only highlights but its obvious his kicking is his main strength and also his courage.

Watching that reminded me so much of Luke Hodge.

Solid lad too.

 

Matt Suckling but with a heart

Yes thats who I was having a mental blank with!

Very suckling like isn't he.

From "The Prince" to Mitch White, I am genuinely excited by every one of our recruits.

That is a first.


Those laser like low passes. Wow

Positives:

- Beautiful left foot kick

- Good versatile size

- Won B+F

So I guess the negatives are probably getting his body up to scratch and athleticism, otherwise he'd have gone a lot higher!


Malceski anyone?

Rapt with this pick, have been craving a young rebound defender to develop behind Lamumba, and White's a pretty good one, not my first choice, but like him as a player.

Saw him play a few times this year, think he has a bit of Hibberd about him. Just a booming kick, and played well whenever I watched Dandy.

Don't want to go the early crow, but he would be just about the best kick in the team. Beautiful kicking motion, and going by the goal he kicked, he's able to use his right foot too (quite rare for a left footer).

Don't want to rain on the parade but I've been told his kicking needs a lot of work, direct quote from a recruiter at another club "long kick, but not a good kick". It's a highlights package remember

Hes a rookie

Hes not meant to save the club

Hes here to add to the equation .He'll be trained and educated where he lacks.

In short he'll undergo development

Welcome Mitch caveat emptor

go you good footballer

I think GTG was just easing the expectations on him from the best kick in the team call. Not suggesting he needed to save the team.

This. Just thought I'd set the record straight from a credible source.

Call it what you like. Hes a rookie.

The qualifications called on him were over zealous simply for the point hes a rookie.

dont run from it now ..own it.

What am I running from? Demon Disciple made the call that he could be the best kick in the team, that is not the case and I set the record straight

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations.

Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
