Great hands. Not one chest mark in the highlights video, all in the hands out front.

We'll have to back in the WA recruiters too.

Also another thought, maybe it helps us that he's a couple years older to help fill the 2012/2013 draft bracket that was a little empty thanks to the sanctions.

Love the composure on both feet. And the big fly is always good to see.

Marking, not kicking thank god!!
I still remember Gill's first mark, and shot at goal, at AFL level…v Essendon? Exciting stuff!
No where near as good as Jeremy but I hope he does well for himself.
Because Jeremy had shown so much more when drafted?
Mitch lasted til #43 in the main draft, and jeremy lasted until #44 in the rookie draft.
There is nothing to suggest jeremy was a better prospect at the same stage.
Jeremy had shown way more before he was drafted
Will always back our recruiters but I have to admit that this comment from Ogilvie "our WA recruiters really liked him, so we’ll back them in" sounds a lot like "I don't see what they see but we have to listen to them to some extent". I loved our first 2 picks but passing up on Daniel and Gore at this pick really worries me when you think of what a risk we took to get this pick upgraded. Just really wanted to see some midfield pace here, nothing against this kid but feel we might regret this one.

J Gov was taken in his draft year though, not two years later like M Gov.
I'm really surprised how much Mitch rose leading up to the draft. I thought we might snag him in the rookie draft in the hope he comes on like Jeremy. I feel like his rise was somewhat powered by his brother's performances rather than his own.
At this stage he has the attributes, but needs to attract more ball and work on his tank. Hopefully for your sake his game will improve when you settle him in one position, as I watched him a bit at Claremont and he seemed to be playing a bit of a mr fix it role. Lovely leap and mark just like his brother though. They're both good old fashioned no frills footballers.
Here are his wafl stats for those interested:

seems to be tracking nicely..
