Naish family keen to get to the game

Steve Kelly
Wangaratta Chronicle
19 Feb 2018

THE Naish family of Wangaratta will have about 20 relatives in the crowd for this Saturday’s Essendon versus Richmond clash in support of nephew, cousin and new Tigers player Patrick Naish.

It’s more than likely that the young gun will be named in the Tigers’ side, his first run for his new club since being drafted at pick number 34 in the 2018 AFL National Draft under the father-son rule.

His dad, Chris Naish – a dynamic small forward who played with the Tigers from 1990 to 1997 – hailed from Wangaratta and it will be somewhat of a homecoming with many of his relatives watching the game closely.

Chris Doyle, the uncle of Patrick will be joining his family to cheer on the Tigers, and even though he is a devoted Hawthorn supporter, his two sons have now defected to Richmond.

“My daughter has defected to Geelong because she likes Patrick Dangerfield and my sons swapped to Richmond when their cousin was drafted last year,” Chris said hesitantly.

“There was a bit of light chatter last week about where we’ll sit at Saturday’s game and we’ll probably go where the Naish Waste sign is at the Norm Minns Oval.”

Quite good package of highlights.

Looks to have added some meat to his frame.

Richmond development coach Ryan Ferguson with an insight into the impressive progress of talented Tiger cub Patrick Naish.

Strong pre-season

“He worked really hard pre-season on his game, but also on his body. I think he put on eight kilos, which is a pretty impressive effort. But also, his ability to continue to run with the weight on was really important. He’s still looking like he’s covering the ground well, which is important.”

On-field role

“He’s almost had a 50-50 split of wing and half-back, which is great for the flexibility in his game. He can go back and see the game and read it well. But also he can run the wing and get out and get some handball-receives. He’s a penetrating kick for us . . . he’s developed that side of his game.”

Difficult opposition match-up

“He’s hard to deal with for some of the VFL teams coming up against us. They have to worry about him now. His ball use is elite and the contested side of his game’s coming along really well, too. Sometimes on the skinny-side wing you’ve got to get in and get dirty and win some of your own ball. And he’s been good at that.”

Improvements in his game

“His defensive running and his patterns and his ability to tackle and step into the contest has improved out of sight . . . Sometimes when you work on your deficiencies it takes away from your strengths, but he’s been able to improve both, which is outstanding.”

Tigers father-son in mix for senior debut

Richmond has provided some of the top SuperCoach rookies of the season and Patrick Naish could be next in line after Sydney Stack, Jack Ross and Liam Baker.

Naish ($123,900, Def) has been a standout for the club’s unbeaten VFL team this year and had 122 ranking points in the Tigers’ victory over Williamstown on Sunday. He hasn’t dipped below 90 points in the VFL this year and opportunity could be knocking after Daniel Rioli and Nick Vlastuin copped knocks in Richmond’s loss to Western Bulldogs.

“He ended up with 23 disposals, but the pleasing part of it is his 10 contested possessions and he’s just playing great footy. He’s setting us up with inside-50s and clearances,” Tigers VFL coach Craig McRae said.

“What a luxury”: Why young Tiger will benefit from extended VFL stint

By SEN
29 May 2019

Richmond youngster Patrick Naish will benefit from learning his craft in the VFL before his eventual integration into the senior side, according to Garry Lyon.

Naish – the son of former Tigers small forward Chris – was selected by the Tigers with pick No.34 in the 2017 AFL Draft and is still waiting to make his AFL debut.

By biding his time at VFL level, Lyon believes the father-son draftee will flourish at the next level in a similar pathway to that of Geelong sensation Gryan Miers.

“You have a kid called Patrick Naish, who is the son of Chris. He’s playing really good VFL footy,” the former Melbourne skipper told SEN Breakfast.

“A highly rated, high draft pick who was a star in the under 18 competition … they haven’t even trotted him out yet, Richmond.

“You compare him to a Liam Stocker for instance or a Jack Lukosius up on the Gold Coast who just get thrown into their teams and just keep getting played.

“In the meantime, Patrick Naish is just doing his stuff a bit like Gryan Miers last year, a year of VFL footy against senior men with no real time pressure – what a luxury.

“Learn your craft, learn the standards … you get a really test of where you’re at. Then when they come in, they’re ready.”

Naish, 20, has been in fine form mixing his time between half-back and wing in Richmond's VFL side that sits on top of the ladder with seven wins from seven games.

Naish to debut

Richmond father-son selection, Patrick Naish, will make his AFL debut against Geelong in Friday night’s Round 12 clash at the MCG.

Naish (182cm and 75kg), who was taken at pick 34 overall in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft, splits his time between half-back and on the wing.

His father, Chris Naish, played 143 games for the Tigers from 1990-1997.

The 20-year-old receives the call up after standout form in the VFL, where he has averaged 25.9 disposals a game this season.

Richmond development and VFL backline coach Ryan Ferguson provided an insight into the impressive progress of the Tiger cub in a recent edition of ‘Coaches’ Corner’, lauding his penetrating kick, hard-running and elite ball-use.

“He worked really hard pre-season on his game, but also on his body. I think he put on eight kilos, which is a pretty impressive effort,” Ferguson said.

“His defensive running and his patterns and his ability to tackle and step into the contest has improved out of sight.

“He can go back and see the game and read it well. But also, he can run the wing and get out and get some handball-receives.”

Naish will be Richmond’s fifth AFL debutant in 2019, following the debuts of Noah Balta, Jack Ross, Sydney Stack and most recently, Callum Coleman-Jones.
