Mitchell John Georgiades (/ɔːˈɑːdəs/ jaw-jee-AH-dəs;[2] born 28 September 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Port Adelaide in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life

[edit]

Georgiades started his junior football with the Wembley Downs Football Club in Perth before joining Subiaco in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) where he led the side in a two-point Grand Final win over Swan Districts in the 2018 WAFL Colts premiership.[3] That year, he represented Western Australia in all four AFL Under 18 Championships matches, averaging 10 disposals and four marks.[3]

AFL career

Georgiades joined Port Adelaide for the 2019 AFL season but did not play after suffering a quad injury in the under-17 NAB All Stars game on Grand Final day the previous year.[3]

Georgiades made his AFL debut in round 1 of the 2020 season against Gold Coast, kicking two goals.[4] After a three-goal outing against Melbourne in round 9, he was awarded an AFL Rising Star nomination.[5] In round 5 of the 2021 season, he received another nomination for AFL Rising Star.[6]

In 2022, Georgiades was the AFL's Mark of the Year for his round 16 mark against Fremantle.[7][8]

On 24 April 2023, Georgiades was ruled out for the rest of the season after he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a SANFL game.[9]

In the 2024 AFL season, Georgiades played 20 games for Port Adelaide and kicked a career-high 44 goals.[10]

Personal life
