SANDOVER Medallist Kane Mitchell joined Port Adelaide for his first training session in searing heat at Grange after being taken at No.5 in the rookie draft and could not keep a smile of his face.
He had packed his bags and made a dash to the airport after learning his fate on Tuesday and Mitchell, who was in Claremont's WAFL premiership team last season, spoke ahead the Power's training session with a sense of conviction better times were ahead for Port Adelaide.
"Mate, it's huge," he said. "We've got a pretty good list and got some really good recruits.
"It's exciting.
"I was lucky enough to get my name called out, a fair few phone calls (followed), then jumped on a flight at 5pm Perth time and wouldn't have it any other way.
"I just want to be here and start training.
"You've got to make your own luck in football and hopefully I've done so.
"But only time will tell.
"(But) Port's got a great history. They've won an AFL premiership and I'm sure we're gunning for that this year. Success is what you want in football clubs and hopefully we can breed it.
"I think we've got an exciting young list and if we can embrace that energy and pull in the same direction I'm sure we can win more games than we lose.
"It (being successful) is a mutual respect between the playing group, it's caring; you care for your teammates and you want to do everything in your power to be successful with them," he said.
"You have to believe you can win - that's universal in life.
"If you don't believe in yourself in business then you're not going to succeed."
