Position shifts 2025

Post: # 2083226Post Otiman »

Not a ball has been kicked even in preseason training yet, but with the draft complete now is a good time to consider who's moving where this year.

Not expecting our recent draftees to play AFL just yet, so will exclude them for now.

I think the real movers will need to be Nas and Owens.

Owens needs to play on the ball, be at every ruck contest.

RTB has stated publicly that Mitchito is a forward.
To be honest, I’m inclined to agree.
Provided he is the third tall type, I think that would be his ideal position.

Mitchito has been training as a third tall forward so far this pre season.

Mitchito is Aaron Hamill 2.0!

I fear Michito will have a short career as a 3rd tall forward.

Whatever they’re doing… kid needs to be able to run and keep up his agility. Good as he is… he isn’t a Tim Membrey type elite mark. Needs to be more about power and impact in the contest

I would hate to see him baulk up too match and get slow

I was at training on Friday, i only counted 26 players out on the field, however, they ALL kicked the footy. :lol: :lol:


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

I had hoped they were kicking the footy at training for the past 2 weeks. Would have been concerned otherwise. Thanks for the update.

Mitch has a lot of good qualities, but needs to be more consistent and work on his positioning if he plays as a forward- though he doesn't look a natural forward to me and I would love to see him in the back half.
