Player Watch #33 Patrick Retschko

[THE_GUN]

Good start to the kid , Hope he builds on that and gets alot out of that game

 

[fargothegreat]

Reminds me a lot of the previous number 33. Runs hard and gives 100%, but can absolutely butcher the ball.

Plenty to work with though and already probably our best wingman

 

[tiger_tough]

Pretty great for a 2nd game. Few scrubbers but the running power and effort is a standout.

Rising star nom chance?

Disposal was atrocious first half.

Second half was very good. Hopefully that’s the benchmark

persist. next.

No hope
Hes a tiger

Thought it was a solid 2nd game, still needs to work on disposal, a few of his errant kicks were at least caused under pressure. What I did like was he kept his width on his wing, where we had a few opportunities to kick it him, when he got clear on several occasions by at least 30m all on his own, yet the players with the ball still decided to kick to a contest on the other wing which was super frustrating to watch.

He's gonna make it.

 

[tiger_tough]

Can't remember the last time we had a legit wingman get 26+ disposals.

I looked back 5 years and then gave up for McIntosh and even Pickett. None.

D.E got better in-game...Good signs...

 

[dirtybizza]

plays like a guy thats played more than 2 games. Love what im seeing

 

[Grockadoc]

Should have been in from Round 1. Easily the best wingman we have at the club, runs both ways and is defensively sound.

Wonder what Brad Johnson was up to last night

kids got some hands
we got alot to work with as he makes the wing his own.
promising future with us

 

[energyquant]

Like what I saw. Obviously some disposal issues, but bit off a few very nice kicks as well.

Kmac v1 had some horrible kicks across his career as well (costing him his place in the 2019 premiership team) but he was able to work on that skill and improved his disposal by foot. I hope we'll see the same from this young man.

 

[59Stanley]

I liked his game. Some of the things re foot skills that I’ve discussed previously were present but weight of ball he got along with his running was tremendous and covered any bloopers.
Keep it up kid good job

 

[_RT_]

Rub out the pencil and mark his name in pen on the wing. 2nd game and he has shown more than many of our other young wings. Could jag himself a Rising Star nomination on the back of last nights performance.

Would have to be brandon ellis.

 

[dean33]

Kid tries hard just doesn’t have any elite traits. He’s undersized and has iffy disposal will be the classic list clogger. Think webberly or that mate of lamberts think his name was Marcon.

This post looks stupid after 1 week. Can't wait to see how stupid it looks after a few years.

Yep, heck thats a long time ago.

 

[Wrenny]

Felt like having the OG Kmac back in the side. Not a bad thing at all, ran back well, had a few scrubbers but overall a decent game. Should play out the year.

 

[tiger_tough]

Would have to be brandon ellis.

Yeah him or McIntosh during the dynasty

 

[Grrr]

How did Stan call him undersized. 186cm and a strong build for a 19 going 20 year old.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Pretty good. Was that him who kicked a couple of scrubbers on the ground like Edwards used to do lol
