AFL Player 38: Rhys Unwin 🧅

He fast, me like.

Have seen him put space on opponents in VFL when he has the ball - that is something close to express speed.

 

[crackers65]

Pretty much as expected. Cracked in hard. Kicking hit and miss. Has a bit of football sense. Definitely needs another pre season.
Pretty good for a late pick.

This crop of late picks give me confidence in recruiting team going forward. These kids could be quite good with two or three pre seasons.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Green shots. Onion is sprouting.

 

[katana]

what a novelty having genuine pace in our forward line. completely over the guelfi, gresham, menzie, cahill etc. plodding

neat step too.

for saying Colac and not Cobden. Once a flog, always a flog.

 

[Gabe251]

Kick seems pretty bad. Anybody who watches VFL know whether this was just first game jitters?

 

[fairbump_playon]

Shallot to like about him

Will soon be running rings around the opposition

Maybe Hodge brained washed him

 

[MiguelM]

Has he ever played midfield?

Could be a real weapon in there if developed IMO.

Yes he played mostly mid last year

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Maybe Hodge brained washed him

And if we want to be technical, Hugh McCluggage is often said to be from Warrnambool, but he is actually from Allansford.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Can we talk about the goal that wasn’t quite

Unreal pick up at full pace and superb evasive moves. Wow moment, deserved a goal.

Should have just given it to him. C'mon umpire.

Rule of cool.

We are such a mess we should qualify for some goal tokens from the AFL’s hardship fund

And maybe a few hampers of canned goods for our MSD guys

 

[Westlo]

Was an amazing goal that wasn't.

From a few reports, and vision the young man is really stepping up. Still looks slight of frame but one who, with opportunity could break out and contribute regularly at AFL level.


Will be good to see him after this pre season as he could be a real wild card for the midfield/ front half. Looks to have some confidence about himself but not arrogance

Don't need a big frame if nobody can get a hand on you.

I dare say it is arrogance - and I'm liking it

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Why is Unwin giving gigachad?

Also good game. High half forward role needs filling.

 

[Blind Turn]

For some reason I can see him in our next premiership side despite the fact that he has a lot of areas in his game to work on. And I mean a lot. When he has the ball he is the business. When he doesn’t, which is for 99% of the game, he is the unbusiness (unbusyness?).

 

[naraku]

Unwin, Kako and Nguyen could all play in the same team I think.

They each offer something different and give Brad flexibility as well- Kako into the middle or Nguyen down back if needed.

It also gives Huss time to run around in the vfl.

 

[MattyB3150]

How did he go in the VFL? Is he one that could replace Kako?

Likely, but Nguyen first cab off rank. And even HEA might be preferred to the onion.
