Tylar Young [merged]

I was clearly wrong about this bloke. Exceeding my expectations thus far. He really has been pretty consistent without being flashy. Just does his job which is all he needs to do.

No. I wasn’t wrong about him. 

He’s no good for this level. Depth player at best.

[Knighter]

What the hell has Rutten done to him.  He poos himself in every contest now and either turns it over or gives away a free kick

[TigerLand]

Bit of perspective how many games has he played.

The inside 50s we leak are bottom 4 stuff. He is being made to do way more work than the average defender let alone a player under 10 games.

Put him in Pies or Demons back 6 and he has half the contested he needs to spoil.

Panicky.

[the claw]

Not going to say anything other than he is what you see.
People talking upside etc but i don't see it. Hope im wrong.

Agree, they are sucking the footy joy out of him

[FooffooValve]

Time for a rest, bring in Bauer and see what he can do.

Young has also got a new contract.

YOUNG TIGER SIGNS ON

SIX MONTHS ago, Tylar Young was just a member of Richmond's VFL program, spending time at Punt Road after hours.

Now the 24-year-old has secured a two-year contract that ties him to Richmond until the end of 2025.

The mature-age recruit is understood to have put pen to paper on a new deal this week, following a bright start to life in the AFL.

With veteran key defender Robbie Tarrant and top-10 pick Josh Gibcus yet to play a game in 2023, Damien Hardwick has turned to an unlikely face to plug holes in defence across the first two months of the season.

Young had played less than 30 games of football at any level before round one, but has now managed six games in the AFL across the first two months of his debut season.

After playing soccer for most of his youth, Young was initially spotted by Frankston while playing for North Albury in the Ovens and Murray Football League in 2019, before Richmond signed him to its VFL program last year where he played 14 times. – Josh Gabelich

Confirmed on the RFC website.

----------------------------------------------------

Hartley added that Young thoroughly deserved his first contract extension.
 
"Tylar has made an impressive start to his career, not putting a foot wrong in his time with us both in the AFL and when part of our VFL squad," he said.
 
"He has worked hard for his opportunities, and we look forward to seeing what he can continue to achieve across the next two years and beyond as he continues to develop all facets of his game.
 
“We are excited by his potential given what he has achieved in such a short time.”

Mistakes yes he makes a few. People forget this guy has played less than 10 games ( I think, haven't done a count). I'll give him time.

Too raw at the minute. I would rather we use Miller.

[Diocletian]

I'll give him time.

Yes - two years in the VFL.....

[Fluffy Tiger]

I'll give him time.

Yes - two years in the VFL.....

Never know, that might end up being the case.  I'm not saying he is the next Rance but it pays to remember how he was rated in his first 10 games.

Also quotes should include the whole quote to keep context.

Yes he makes mistakes and yes he is only 10 or so games into his career but and yes this is probably very harsh his panicking has over those 10 games has cost us too many goals and in the case of 1 game in particular probably cost us that game

Right now the bad out weighs the good by far too much

Biggy or Miller offer more and I've no doubt Bauer would offer a helluva lot more as well
