His ruck work looks exquisite on the highlight reel - he doesn't like to body up but he could do a lot of damage as the second ruckman / rucking in the forward line based on that tape.

I hope he bulks up a bit, we should all buy shares in Red Rooster when it floats - he'll need a lot of roast cooks this one!

Rookie Draft: Selection No. 7 – Mitch McCarthy

Born: 10/10/1997
Recruited from: Dandenong U18

Profile

"Mitchell is a 19-year-old athlete whose first love was basketball, which took him to the USA in 2015. He returned in Christmas 2015 but missed the first six weeks of the pre-season so he played catch-up. He added 12kg to his frame and is a 60 metre kick with lots of tricks in the air. He has a new age ruck style (a 205cm hand span) but will develop as a key defender at AFL levek. He will become a better player the more games of football he plays - he was limited this year due to a broken foot. He might take a year or two before playing at AFL level but will be exciting," - Dandenong Stingrays talent manager Mark Wheeler, Inside Football, November 2016.

I'm really happy with this pick.

I think we might need to be patient, but we've done really well here!

Looks good and athletic. Nice enough kick on him too. Hopefully he's got another 5 or so cms of growth to go

Could be our replacement for Marsh if we try him in defence. A project player with talent but some way to go.
