Interested in other's thoughts, I wanted him in the side a lot over the season but for reasons best known to the match committee was overlooked time and again.

He is a very smart footballer, knows where to run, can take a contested mark, disposes well  and is not afraid to put his body in. He ticks a lot of boxes! Could have kicked a couple more goals, but I thought his last 2 games were Excellent!

One the basis that we lack players with "Smarts" I reckon he deserves at least a one year deal with triggers for beyond.

I would be disappointed but not surprised given its the MFC and some decision making re Contracts have been in the past, "Lacking" that he may not be offered but,,,

I hope he gets another gig at MFC

I thought he was good on Saturday but seemed to be playing further up the ground

 

A medium level journeyman.

It's a pity we need him but without TMac in form I see little alternative.

My bigger worry is Melksham and Hannan

Also need to get LJ and Rivers under 3 year contracts asap

Saw someone liken him to Pedo, think a player like him is needed given question marks over Smith, Tmac, Petty etc


I'd happily keep. Played a much better role then McDonald has dished put the past 6 months.

Keep! Good, honest footballer, who works bloody hard.

Agree. Sign up for 2021.  
He’s a good honest natural footballer. Showed enough to get another year. His hunger and smart footy was very much needed in our forward line.  A true Pedersen type.  

 

I have noticed that the last 2 games he has been chasing kicks and taking marks and linking up the ground. also found in the back half to help out against GWS where he helped win the game in the last quarter.

Put in a good one against his old club and is a   shue in for a 1 year contract at the least IMO.    He reminds me a lot of Cam Pederson that was a real honest goer and did well for us.


Yep. I really like him. Has a bit of that Cam Pedersenesque spirit to him, will play beyond the expectations of his talent. Also seems to know that a footy bounces in an odd fashion, and gets himself to the right spots.

Whether or not he’s around next year may depend on how we go at the trade period. If we manage to land a second key forward then that shoves him down the pecking order pretty quickly. I’d be giving him another year though, handy depth. 

Definitely another year. Should have played many more games in the place of Tom McD. I like a player with courage and smarts. Keep.

Extend his second year as a rookie.

He was terrible in the first game of the year but his last 2 games were ok .plays with enthusiasm and has a bit of zip .But if we are to become successful we need replace 30 yr old journeyman like Mitch with a bit of quality .We dont bat low enough at the moment so we should be concentrating on players who  might not  be A graders but are clearly of AFL standard and Mitch doesnt fit this profile ..


Put him up back and he’d be every bit as good as Lever.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
