I have just rewatched his highlights (insomnia)! If he can bring similar style tomorrow then it will be an exciting game and very watchable! To me, he appears a fusion of Hunt and Howe in the way he backs himself and he will quickly become a fan favourite and a headache for opposition coaches identifying someone to line up on him. 

A good selection IMHO and I am looking forward to watching him and Hunt tear the Saints up! Go Dees!

These were my thoughts two months ago before his first game, comparing him with Howe in the air and Hunt on the ground. After the last fortnight, I would like to add a touch of Garlett to the mix, (in relation to his quick thinking around the goals). A very good use of pick 46 IMHO!

Isn't the "H" in "IMHO" for "Humble"?

His pressure is incredible as well, if we can get the back to ground in our fwd with him and Jeffy prowling around defenders must be chitting themselves.

Saad, a good player, looked absolutely shattered by the end last night.

I think his field kicking goes underrated here. Always seems to use the ball cleaning and lowers his eyes. He has had a few midfield stints which I was impressed with, would like to see him more in the centre around stoppages.

Yes, he did Cards. Jeffy, when given the right conditions, firm underfoot, is very dangerous. Jeffy is a naturally shy type of guy and is a confidence player. Once that self belief clicks into gear he goes up a notch. He and Hannan complement each other very well.

Hannan has that balance of an elite player. Not saying he is elite, or will be, but it is a great trait to have - the ability to keep his feet when others around him don't.

Many many years ago Alan Jeans was asked what attribute he most looked for in a player and his answer was "balance"!   Fair call I reckon.

He is as dangerous as Jeffry on the ground and probably the best in the air of all our forwards. He is a special talent

Would be stiff not to get a Rising Star nod very soon

(Edit: I didn't check his eligibility, probs not eligible due to age?)

Looking fwd to Mitch getting a full AFL preseason under his belt.

Makes an impact on the contest that belies his status as a mid-sized forward. He's effectively had to play as a key forward and has done very, very well. We have the makings of a very dangerous forward six now with versatility in spades.

With Max and Hogan back, I'd love to see something like this, with Trac rotating through the middle and the forward line:

Garlett   Hogan   Pedersen

Hannan  Watts    Harmes

Sort of underrated player who bobs up in the last quarter of a final and kicks 3 goals to win the game, while the opposition worries about Hogan, Watts and Petracca.

Looks a natural footballer.

He's had a very good month of footy. Nine goals in his last four games.

Mitch has some x factor to go with his talent (a quality that can separate the top forward lines from the rest), and he's becoming harder to match up on as he becomes more comfortable at the level.  I have a hunch that he might become even more dangerous when Jesse returns and is up and firing.  A tantalising prospect imo.

Maybe im influenced by his history with the Dogs VFL side, but he reminds me of a plucky Jake Stringer. His strength and aerial capabilities, and ability to get into the right spot and make a snap decision and execute. Listening to his interview the other week, he's an intelligent well spoken guy that doesn't answer in cliches, probably goes some way to explaining why he can read the play well enough to get into the right positions and contest at an effort level that does not put his position in the team in jeopardy .

Based on the fact that he was selected for round 1 when almost none of us expected it, the FD obviously saw something special in him. Well FMD they seem to know what they're doing.

It just takes them a half of football to get it right.

I was slow to like this fella, didn't bag him, but was wondering, not anymore.

A final?  What is that?

Is it what happens in September when we are up at the lodge at Buller? ?

Jokes aside, he is an opportunist who opponents will lose sight of for just a moment, at their peril

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50.
