Recommitted Jake Riccardi [Re-signed to 2026]

[tiger_tough]

What's the go with this guy? Out of contract and can't get a game at GWS. I always like him, reckon he'd be a good cheap pickup. Averaging 16 disposals, 7 marks and 3 goals a game in the VFL.

Is he likely to re-sign? What's he worth at the trade table? I'd say an early 3rd rounder at best, probably 40-50.

 

[banana_bus]

Surely delisted at seasons end

 

[ZionMig22]

Poor Mans Weideman

Decent at VFL level but horrendous at AFL level

Would deff can picked up again if delisted

I would give Derksen a game over him now

GWS will re-sign him unless a desperate Vic Club ie NM or Haw offer him a better deal.

Good size but not up to it at AFL level

That's probably a fair comparison. Bombers fans would be pretty happy with Weideman though. I reckon Riccardi has a better work rate than Weideman.

Why would he re-sign if he's not getting games? Someone from Vic will offer him a spot to come home.

Riccardi has had some good games @ AFL level. 9 disposals, 11 marks, 2 goals this year against Blues. 12,8,2 last year. 11,5 and 3 last year. 12, 9 and 4 in his 2nd ever game etc etc.

He would re sign if no offers from Vic Clubs like NM/Haw who are desperate

Weideman is a far better player at AFL level which tells you something LOL

Their stats are nearly identical and GWS haven't been able to develop a single KPF properly bar Cameron. I'd have them both ahead of Josh Schache and your club gave him a spot.

Handy depth at the very least but has upside.

 

[Mofra]

Can he switch to defence? He did win the Fothergill as a swingman IIRC and KPDs are in short supply across the comp

Won't argue your views about Schache at all

Who knows maybe the Dees offer him a deal haha

If he could i'd reckon GWS would have played him by now in that spot

198cm/100kg is a great size

Had 40 disposals and 19 marks against Southport a couple of seasons ago playing in defence in the VFL. Then switched forward and had 24 disposals, 12 marks and kicked 8.4 a few weeks later.

I'm telling ya this guy will be 2-meter Peter mk2. Just needs a change of environment.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

He’s shown more at afl level than weideman ever did at Melbourne.

His 2018 elimination final V the cats was pretty special. Pretty stinky other than that. Couple 3 and 4 goal games here and there. 5 a few weeks ago.

 

[Orange Agent]

Free to good home unless he can turn it around. Him and Hogan doesn't work. He has been tried in defence at AFL level. He is very slow and has no second efforts or offer any kind of defensive pressure.

Has there been any improvement under Kingsley at all?

In the games he played, not really.

Nah, was as a forward.

 

[The 747]

Not AFL standard as a forward.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

It's possible he will just be delisted, although whether GWS need points or not, some club may just give up a token pick in the 60s.

 

[The Nostradamus]

3 goals today against cats looked decent

 

[Vindicater]

Always looked good but never seems to get a chance.

Rely a struggling VIC team throw him a bone.

 

[The Nostradamus]

apparently has talks on hold atm

 

[tiger_tough]

Looked alright the last few weeks.

 

[Orange Agent]

Has pulled his finger out, effort has been the most noticeable change.
