Player Watch Josh Rachele - Re-Signed to End of 2029

[Drewie11]

Extremely happy with this pick. The biggest area we needed to cover

Some of you may be disappointed just like some were last year with Thilthorpe , but he is a Crows player now so get behind him and let’s hope he’s the player we see in his highlights and wins games from his boots

Who did he support growing up?

 

[Stiffy_18]

Welcome Josh!

I think you will absolutely love games at AO!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is his Victorian wife - daughter of the Lord Mayor of Melbourne - ok with this?

Classy outside midfielder who is as classy up forward........

Nicks towers over him in a photo. How tall is he? His stats on the TV had him as elite in all levels.

Carlton if i recall

Nicks has a fivehead so bit deceptive. Rachelle is measuring at 179/180cm and Nicks is 187cm

Who did he support growing up?

Good news is that he already knows Parnel, Butts, Murray and Berry

Welcome Josh.
Does this mean we don’t need Murphy anymore?

hopefully.

love murphy.. but he just aint got it for AFL level.. makes a great sanfl player.

 

[Golumless]

Seems a really good pick up. Easy way into the squad, spades of talent and should be a good candidate to eventually transition towards the midfield.

 

[StonesThrow]

I like that the last 3 players added to our list are elite kicks of the footy. It's a must.

 

[Crowman32]

Class with a capital ‘C’, the Country co-captain took out the Kevin Sheehan Medal (Division 1 MVP) and his side’s own MVP award with three sensational performances throughout the carnival. His talent can be summed up with one play in Country’s last game against SA, where he instinctively tapped the ball on over his shoulder to Ben Hobbs at full flight who finished the play off with a goal. Does some freakish things and constantly looks a threat around the ball with his agility and ability to break away from congestion, using both to good effect at forward stoppages. Has obvious leadership quality too and really lifted in trying to drag Country over the line in their loss to WA, having 32 disposals, six marks, four breaches of each arc and 0.3. A star in the making.

 

[Pugsley]

To all those that didnt want the Crows to take Rachele this is what I think!

They should sit back down

 

[LoBu]

We are building a formidable forward line, and if Rochele can move into the mid for some on tilt clearances, I'll be stocked.

What odds on his first kick being a goal?

Go well young fella. We got a good one.

Where you playing draft drinking games ?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Thing I like is can kick both sides

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Thing I like is can kick both sides

Looks better on his left than Murphy*




*I like a lot of what Murphy does, just not his kicking

 

[BunjiMac]

Welcome Josh.
Does this mean we don’t need Murphy anymore?

Wouldn't he be a straight up improvement on Rowe? Looks to be a Rowe like player but better in every way.

Just let the guy do his thing in the forward pocket like we let Rowe do, only this guy will actually kick goals. Don't burden him run the defensive pressure role.

Does anyone know if he has a soccer background? Has anyone asked him yet?
