Mitch Wallis = ??

[Bulldog Revolution]

So often draft projections and comparisons can be somewhat meaningless

In the NBA every man and his dog was reported to be the next Jordan for years

That said sometimes they give you a sense of what a player is like

So I'm interested in what Wallis is like?

The talk is that he's a midfielder who can do both win it in close and get and use it. Talk is he is clever, quick but not blisteringly fast. Delivered a ludicrously good TAC cup grand final with 47 possies (a la Steele Sidebottom kicking 10)

Who is the modern day comparison for young Mitch?

Really? Who would have thought Roughead would have even been heard of by the NBA

It's a good question but I'm finding it really hard to come up with a good comparison for Mitch.
I'm not for one second saying he's of the same caliber as Jimmy Bartel but he sort of racks up possessions quietly and makes other players a little better much like Bartel does.

Sounds a bit like Simon black maybe?

Re: Mitch Wallis = ??


Which AFL player do you feel you resemble, and why?
Joel Selwood. Relentless attack on the ball. Huge engine, gut-busting running. Very supportive of his teammates. Can play an inside role but also a receiving role.

This is from Mitch himself.

I haven't seen a huge amount of him but he reminded me a bit of Matthew Boyd, not elite in any particular area, but no glaring weaknesses either. Good in close but can play outside too, not quick but not slow, reasonable kick but not elite, and just keeps accumulating possesions. What would you say GVGjr?

Re: Mitch Wallis = ??

I heard from a so called expert, that he plays alot like Robert Harvey use too.

He's a better prospect than Boyd but it's a good comparison.

Re: Mitch Wallis = ??

For those old enough to hae seen Steve Wallis, Mitch plays just like his old man.

Re: Mitch Wallis = ??

I hope we are not getting carried away with both Mitch and Libba. I like every one else on this forum am excited about their prospects, but are we expecting too much?

I have just read in the Hume Leader that neither boy finished in the top 3 of the Cannon's B&F.

B&F........Cameron Guthrie
2nd........Dion Prestia
3rd........Jordan Schroder

How many sleeps to round 1 2011

No surprise really. School footy commitments mean they missed a bit of the season.

Thanks.

I was hoping there was a good reason.

Wallis missed some football with an injury as well.

By the way, Prestia was a top player all season for the Cannons and Guthrie is also a good footballer.

Thanks. Wow a better prospect than an All Australian? If he can defend he could become my favorite player!
