Port elevate rookie to senior list in AFL March 26, 2013 - 7:31PM Rookie-listed recruit Kane Mitchell is on Port Adelaide's senior list a few days out from the start of their AFL season. The midfielder was elevated to fill in for Nick Salter, who is recovering from a foot injury. Port recruited Mitchell through December's rookie draft after he won the Sandover Medal with Claremont in the WAFL. "What this does do is give Kane an opportunity on a senior list," said Power coach Ken Hinkley. It doesn't guarantee him selection, but puts him in a position to maximise the most of his opportunities. If he continues to work hard, he'll get a chance to play at AFL level. Mitchell, 23, was a member of Claremont's premiership sides in the past two local seasons. "I will just continue working hard and playing my role on the training track," he said.
