Patrick Retschko

Got the Rising Star nom this week after bursting onto the scene. Kid is an absolute beast. Runs all day, smart with the footy, good size, racks it up, etc.

He’s too good for the wing and I imagine he will end up becoming a premium inside midfielder. There are shades of Bontempelli with the way he moves.

How do Geelong keep plucking elite level talent out of nowhere? Stoked we have a future bonafide star on our hands for pick 99.

Love that he's in Kmac's number. A natural progression I think.

Happy for the guy. Showed some ability last year but was not going to get a game here.
Glad he got an opportunity elsewhere and is taking it with both hands.

Geez I'm glad the OP didn't go overboard

Promising signs so far, think we have found one of our wingman for the next decade. Looking like a great bit of business by Hartley at this stage. Sometimes all a player needs is an opportunity....

Always felt of the last remaining spuds (Knevitt, Stevens, Wiltshire), Retschko was the most likely to make the grade. He was very physical and with good size. Good gut running capacity too.

Stuff that I ain’t subjecting my board to this kind of bait

It’s more a pump up of Geelong for finding these gems.
