GEELONG Falcons midfielder Mitch Knevitt<\/strong><\/a> is the Draft Central\u00a0<\/em>NAB League Player of the Week for Round 16. The 18-year-old midfielder amassed 36 disposals, 10 marks, three tackles, eight inside 50s and a goal in his side’s impressive 38-point road win against Bendigo Pioneers on Sunday.<\/p>\n

>> Round 16 Player Focus: Mitch Knevitt<\/a><\/p>\n

With the competition returning from another period of lockdown, Knevitt proved he hadn’t missed a beat and continued his ominous form. The big-bodied ball winner has been building into top 25 calculations; averaging 30 disposals, six marks, seven tackles, and six inside 50s across his last three NAB League outings, while also turning out for Vic Country last month.<\/p>\n

He boasts a desirable set of skills at 193cm, with formidable size and contested ball winning ability to go with eye-catching athletic traits and a knack for taking strong overhead marks. Identified by his Falcons teammates as one to watch during pre-season, with another big performance he is truly living up to the billing.<\/p>\n

Knevitt becomes the eighth 2003-born talent to earn Player of the Week honours in 2021, joining fellow Vic Country representatives Connor Macdonald<\/strong>, Ben Hobbs<\/strong>, and Josh Rachele<\/strong> on the list. He is the first Geelong Falcons prospect to feature this season, and should have plenty more opportunities to shine should fixtures remain undisrupted.<\/p>\n
