Player Watch Pick #18 (2019) - Mitch Georgiades

[RussellEbertHandball]

From AFL Draft Central's Draft Guide book from 4 weeks ago. He has no 2019 stats so that's why I didn't show his stats.

Blue = Elite, Green = Above Average, Yellow = Average, Red = Below Average.

the reason why so many sons of footballers become good footballers is because they have a at home coach who knows exactly how they tick

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Actually really like the sound of him. Regardless of what we paid for him, sounds like he would have put together a very solid year if not for that groin injury and then we likely wouldn’t be complaining.

Good mark and kick, with speed to go with it.

If he is closer to the 87kg and 192cm+ As mentioned, I could see him having a decent impact in the seniors early on. Similar to Sydney’s Mccartin who I would love at port.

20m sprint (seconds)
Sam Philp......... 2.867 seconds
Ben Johnson..... 2.885
Malcolm Rosas... 2.924
Mitch Georgiades 2.925

I've not been able to trust a Ben Johnson sprint since Seoul

We need our WA posters help for some further insights on Mitchell. Grave Danger TheFVK, TeeKray Power Raid Ishikawa and any others over there I have forgotten about.

Happy with this, especially after Twomeys predictions were all coming true. He clearly had word we were looking at reaching for a tall forward and just expected Jones not Giorgiades.

High ceiling key forward and same strategy as recently about rating underage years very highly.

Are these times from a standing start or with a running start?

If that’s a running start, that is slow as ****...

 

[FrankDrebin]

Im more excited after hearing knightmares comments on him. Hadn't heard of him before tonight.

That wasn't Knightmare who responded to your question.

Standing start. All combine sprinting stats are standing starts.

 

[StickerMan]

Very similar scenario and reactions to when we picked Doedee earlier than expected. ACL aside, that's turned out pretty well for AFC, so good luck to the kid.

Cant believe he was still there at our pick.

I'm calling him George.

I think im really warming up to this selection.

I always thought we lacked that Jack Darling type player and if this kid can become something similar (but quicker) we could be onto a winner.

Welcome Mitch!

I’m going to get my 14yo son to do a 20m run just out of interest...

I barely follow the WAFL, let alone the under-agers. This article talks about his injury, but not much about his footy prowess - the links are to West Australian articles behind a paywall that I can't breach. Tonight on 6PR they spoke well of Mitch and the Adam Jones mentioned in the article told them that Mitch could well be the steal of the draft. But he's bound to say something like that

If you look at the graphs I put in the OP of my SpeedEndurance thread, Bolt got to the 20m mark in Berlin 2009 world champs in 2.88 seconds when he ran 9.58 for the 100m. There are lots of world record run 10 m splits in the OP.

Opinion - Speed and Endurance vs SpeedEndurance

Recently I have heard Burgo and Kane talk about how we have a genetically gifted group who are very good runners. It sounds pretty accurate and I have done a bit of digging around for some historical stats. It also makes me think of Peter Rohde and others in our post flag years talking about...

[The Rubber Man]

He is 192cm and 87kg. The stats in the OP are from the start of the year.

Reminds me of what craig coombes our old list manager would say, get a draft kids height and minus it by 100 thats that about the perfect weight for them.

87kg looks significantly better than 78kg for a 191/192cm guy

 

[Dylan8]

initial thoughts undersized key forward never heard of him bad

second thoughts wog name cult hero SOLD

 

[Burton89onegoal]

He is 192cm and 87kg. The stats in the OP are from the start of the year.

Nick Riewoldt was apparently 193cm, so that that puts his height into perspective a bit.

 

[Rendaw]

He is going to have a cult following. So happy we got him.

In the Port Board draft I was going to take him at 29 but he went at 28. He is highly rated but missing his draft year kept him hidden.

Schofield definitely gave us some inside info on him.

 

[Dylan8]

chris davies dared to ask the question: what if we could have a key forward with the cult allure of butcher, but he was also Greek
