AFL Player 38: Rhys Unwin 🧅 - Smooth Mover

[VelvetSledge]

 

[eth-dog]

Who hasn’t played?
(Davey, Gerryn, Cox?)

Yep

 

[ant555]

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.

 

[Vindicater]

Very very good.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Another who has the physical attributes, football sense and competes.

In his case it’s the step and turn of speed

Very promising.

 

[Happyskeret]

He has so many layers to him.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

The flying Tomato was good (died out a bit as it went on). Felt like Bewick of old down there with a little red head zipping around. Split things open a couple of times, threw it on his boot at the right time. Just looked like he would make something happen. Definitely something there going forward.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

He has so many layers to him.

Almost brought a tear to my eye when he goaled.

 

[Doss]

His kicking action (or maybe his ball drop?) looks…odd.

But maybe that’s just a quirk.

Really liked what I saw from the kid.

 

[ghostdog]

Has a really good combo of speed and agility. Could be increasingly troubling for opponents over time.

 

[Doss]

He did have that little purple patch where he was running rings around the Saints defenders. Really saw the whites of their eyes and made them see red. Browned them right off.

 

[King Patty]

Who hasn’t played?
(Davey, Gerryn, Cox?)

Gerryn probably in next week if Lav or McMahon don't get up.

 

[Happyskeret]

In all seriousness I was impressed as a first time player. He showed a little bit of everything in different parts of the ground. I thought he had good symmetry with Kako as well. Pretty soon he will be running rings around his opponents. …. Onion rings

 

[Zach Package]

Shallot to like about him

 

[Nicholas61]

Has a really good combo of speed and agility. Could be increasingly troubling for opponents over time.

Didn't see tonight's match but what I have seen in the VFL I think a bit of Luke Shuey (as in type) in terms of speed, movement and smarts.

 

[Keystone agony]

Love guys that can accelerate, chabge direction quickly and have agility. He certainly has the last 2

From memory from juniors has a pretty good kick and decision making aswell. Not sure where his spot will be, i think thats the difficult thing for him. May not be sharp enough or a good enough runner as a fwd

Edit: Apparently ran 2.88, 20m so maybe he will be okay. Still question his top end sortve speed

 

[quotemokc]

He fast, me like.

endurance the big thing for anyone. If he can get to an adequate level then we certainly have a game changer on our hands.

Im not sure what was better, the first goal or the side step in traffic

genuine ranga forward?

 

[MiguelM]

Could be a Richards clone.

 

[ydc55]

Speed and agility.
Two more traits than Hobbs, Menzies and Guelfi.
Speed allows you to create pressure which was good.

Watch a replay if you can. It's worth a look.

 

[naraku]

Impressive debut.

It will be good to see how he fairs after another pre-season under his belt.

 

[jannissary]

had some stinking kicks but was generally solid, like the look of him

 

[Nicholas61]

Cheers mate will do
