Tylar Young [merged]

[wayne]

Looks like he'll be a solid, reliable defender

[crackertiger]

Did much better then our co-captain who did very little.

Am I the only person that noticed how poor Dylan Grimes has been the last 2 weeks? Junior defenders are covering him....  He needs to do better as a Captain.

Did ok and will get better as his confidence grows and learns the caper and can back himself in. He seems like he will be a reliable option for us. 

Not really sure how he is ahead of Miller though as Miller is clearly more versatile and capable. But good in the bloke for getting his first game. He seems a quick learner and has proved himself time and time again.

He was OK

Struggled with the pace of the game a bit which meant he either second guessed himself on what to do when the heat was on or he just stood flat footed

There was one kick in the 3rd that stood out when he kicked it to the wing. He looked great in that passage

With Broad about to be rubbed out he will play next week but will confess the Pies manic pace and pressure is going to test him big time

Nice tackle on Walker as well.

This was a moment for Young.

Beautiful kick actually quite confident given the point in the game going across the ground like that

"When I put my jumper on for the first time, it was a life changing moment. You are now a part of one of the greatest football clubs in Australia. But, the most important thing, Tylar, is you are now the future of the Richmond Football Club." - Paul Bulluss.

wasnt this our 1 wood? Honestly why didnt we identify this as a need during the offseason?

Its the reason we wont progress more than 6th spot unless something drastic changes in this department.

Under a weight of oppo i50s, our defenders were fantastic vs the Pies & IMO were the main reason we kept so close.
Key back #TylarYoung in just his 2nd game was again impressive.
I know RT is soon available but I hope Tylar gets another game next week. Will continue to improve.

“I’ve been playing with Tylar Young over the last few weeks, and he’s just gone from strength to strength, really, since we picked him up in the off-season," said Dylan Grimes.

“He’s playing against some really quality forwards and getting the job done.”

Young, in just his third game of AFL football, had 11 disposals, five rebound-50s, four intercepts, three score involvements and a game-high 15 one-percenters.

Gotta say he is going alright good on him.

[Damo]

Great start
Hopefully we’ve plucked one from nowhere

Tylar Young is 6th in comp for 1v1% loss & #1 for spoils, they’re massive numbers for a bloke playing his third game against established key forwards.

Trying to find a positive after last night.

Young now third in the comp for 1vs1% loss. Not bad for a 4th gamer.

                        1vs1s  Lost     %
Tom McCartin      17       2     11.8
Charlie Barnard   17       2     11.8
Tylar Young         16       2     12.5
