Player Watch #33 Patrick Retschko

[Tiger84]

Wasn't sure what we would get with him and being a trade for pick 99 but the kid is impressive. Like stated before running power is extreme, people bagging his kicking kid is in his 2nd game has been running harder than 90% of players on the field and bleeds yellow and black nerves and tiredness can explain that when he gets comfortable at the level think we have a good Lil winger on our hands. Good build and isn't timid attacks the contest with vigour.
Keep it up

 

[prodigy]

Liked his game. He isn't flashy, he isn't going to win games off his own boot but he will be a great soldier.
His kicking leaves a bit to be desired but thats all good. Happy to take the good with the bad.

 

[Tiger84]

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

Stan must be 7 foot and built like a brick shithouse but I'm guessing small in other areas

Harsh, the last bit, bitch.

 

[THE_GUN]

Played well for a 20 year old playing his 2nd game
26 touches 15 kicks / 11 HB 4 marks and 3 tackles going at 69%
spent 76% in the defensive half and had 6 contested possessions
80% TOG and 500mtrs gained.

As most have mentioned needs to clean up the kicking a bit but only 2nd game so should be much better with 50 games

Glue his magnet to the wing position. In his 2nd game he's outperformed our other wingers we've used for years. Kids a born runner. Can focus on tidying up his disposal. Barring injuries we might’ve landed a 200 game solid role player for pick 99? Adios Ralphsmith.

Settle down Karen

 

[Daka]

Kicking is a bit iffy, works hard though would have him well ahead of Ralphsmith.

Trainor needs to back in for Trezise.

Yep like the boy , one game and his output is = a months worth from hrs . Rock solid citizen that’ll be an upgrade on macca in this new generation tiger outfit

Think Josh Lindsay’s 31 touches might mean our boy will miss out on a rising star nomination even though they lost by 100

No doubt. Lindsay was pretty good. Had 20 at half time. Used it well too.

in Retschko. Will never be a star or tear you up by foot but runs all day, finds plenty of the footy and does the team things.

I see Ed Langdon in Retschko. Will never be a star or tear you up by foot but runs all day, finds plenty of the footy and does the team things.

Hope I eventually say the same about Retschko, but I would have a player like Langdon any day of the week in black and yellow. Old fashioned wing who just keeps on keeping on ... a bit like Berger Paints.

Looking at our list atm, there isn’t any better options than Retschko, nobody else has a tank compatible. We’ve got more talented kids, but they are either injured or not ready or capable of covering the ground.
I reckon the defensive wing is his to lose. It’s a thankless role, not many are suited to. Maybe Grlj eventually becomes the other winger, who we utilise more to attack.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Loved his game on Friday night. Just kept running and running. Not overly quick but not slow either. People criticise his kicking, but I thought he was neat. He will never be a Lalor with his kicking, but he is already ahead of Ralphsmith in that regard, and he is also putting his body into uncomfortable positions that many others don't.

Solid mark overhead too

Yep, completely agree.

Now watch him get dropped as soon as Hugo is available again.
