Draft Profile Reece McKenzie

[Bishop]

I think a lot of people are judging him very quickly without realising everything. There is a lot more than playing U18s etc, when they draft kids and most of that isn't portrayed in the publics eye.

Behind the scenes, Richmond are very happy with his progress throughout the year. He was Pick 77 after all.

 

[juss]

No idea of his personality or any off field issues, but on field the club is happy with where he's at.

 

[Morro]

this guy isn''t well liked at the tigers, Williams spent all pre season with him an the boy spat the dummy!

This is categorically made up and untrue

Bluesers just jelly they missed him.

Bluesers just jelly they missed him.

We opted to go with Jayden Foster over him in the draft. No jealousy here, wish him all the best

 

[ManOfClay]

Top stuff. His career could well be over before Boomers' is.

To quote myself from 2014:

Maybe he's a giant douche.

Really put himself on the map with that tweet.

 

[Drama]

He's been through a lot of shit, most of it due to his bitch of a mother.

Are you his dad?

 

[Drama]

Are you his dad?

His dad is a good bloke, didn't push him into football, let him play basketball and enjoy his childhood. His mum, on the other hand, pushed him to breaking point. I hope he succeeds, he's physically built for it, just don't know if the mental capacity is there.

 

[Flandersss]

Go Reece!

Power forward in the Lockett/Dunstall ilk.

 

[BILC]

Does seem like a bit of a different character going off twitter, nothing wrong with that though.

 

[TwentyNine]

Poor guy.

[ManOfClay]

Hope he can get himself right. Doesn't matter if he ever plays AFL footy, that's secondary

 

[beowulf]

I wish him well in his quest to get well. Not an easy thing to deal with.

 

[mcuzzy]

Announced his retirement today.

WIll continue to play in the VAFA for Marcellin Old Collegians.

I'm glad he's prioritising his health, hope he does well.

As an amateur sportsguy who has had depression issues i'm curious to know how Reece is getting along. Anyone heard from him?

 

[TradeDraft]

Poor guy.

I dare say that is the Reason why he was Taken so Late in the Draft when he had more Talent then that
