Player Watch #33 Patrick Retschko

[Muddiemoose]

“The Club opted to make a deal with the Cats prior to the trade deadline to allow for Retschko to become a Tiger prior to the delisted free agency window opening on November 3”

"He played consistently strong state league football through 2025 and is also a lifelong Tigers fan, so we are delighted to be able to give him this opportunity.”

Kmac replacement on a wing? Tackles and can run.

Can't kick too

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Sounds like we are conceding a speedster and give this guy a go

 

[Coach_Required]

Would have gone top 5 in this years draft.

Got the inside word off my brother in law who is a cats fanatic

[JackNah_8]

This trade was unexpected. Didn't know we were interested in him

Fat campaigner as well

Watched the Granny at his house

It was bliss when he cracked the sads and started pulling down the decorations while I was sitting in the corner with a shit eating grin

Shifter Sheehan said he was a ripper on night two of last years draft coverage. I’m sold.

Jfc when was the last time pick 99 was used mate

Chill mate, I don't care that we've parted with a pick, I just don't understand the mechanics behind it if he was delisted.

 

[Hydatina Physis]

As Danog and I said in the other thread.

This way he can start with the team and coaches immediately. Rather than waiting until the draft or DFA period

Cheers toady that makes sense.

Round 1 debut v Blues

yeah nfi, if blight got picked up do we get a free pick in the hundreds for no reason?

edit: read above, makes sense.

already training the house down like patty contin in 2011

 

[Damo80]

Was that FOS he nailed in a tackle at the 55 second mark of his highlights vid?

Other than that, looks to have a bit of a wind up in his ball drop. But an elite running big bodied winger is definitely a need!

 

[RJK Tiger]

never heard of him, but a endurance runner was needed. Wont judge on him tho as legit never heard of him before this

 

[Ctl]

wonder if eagles would've taken him in a psd or rookie pick, so we traded to get ahead and make sure we get him

 

[Madtiger2006]

If he’s quick and skillful then awesome

 

[Ctl]

2nd pic is with Alger

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Runs all day, but looks like quite a high/slow ball drop when kicking, might reduce effectiveness at the speed of AFL

this is the club's mea culpa and replacement for Doc, I reckon

solid work

good size, good user, good overhead and can run all day. absolute winger.

 

[Danog]

Should follow the Magic theory here - trade him out as soon as he shows promise and get him back in when we are in our flag window.

Maybe thats Geelong plan? Trade him back in for pick 98 in 2 years
