Liam Fawcett profile
Height: 197cm
Weight: 89kg
D.O.B: 22-04-2005
Club: Central District
Leagues: SANFL/AFL U18 Championships
(https://cdn.central.rookieme.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Liam-Fawcett.jpg)
STRENGTHS:
+ Marking
+ Mobility
+ Scoreboard impact
+ Strength
IMPROVEMENTS:
- Consistency
- Conversion
A strong marking key forward out of Central District, Liam Fawcett was earmarked early as a potential AFL Draft prospect after an impressive bottom-age campaign. He kicked 19 goals in 16 games, while averaging 11.6 disposals per match at SANFL Under 18s level. A fearsome aerial figure, Fawcett finished off the 2022 season strongly up forward, kicking 14 goals in the last five games.
Fast forward to 2023, and the Centrals tall truly cemented his place inside attacking 50 with 32 majors in 16 games, also averaging 6.6 marks. His scoring tally included a high of six goals against West Adelaide in Round 7. Fawcett duly received his spot in the state side, where he played a couple of matches, averaging a goal from 6.5 disposals and three marks.
He certainly has the capacity to get a hold of opponents aerially and on the lead, but making them pay on the scoreboard can prove hit or miss. His goal kicking numbers are strong, though could have been even more eye-catching with sharper conversion. At his best, Fawcett can go big and it's a matter of doing so more consistently. As it stands, he looms as a potential rookie candidate.

Richmond has used its second selection (No. 43 overall) in the 2023 AFL Draft to recruit Central District key forward Liam Fawcett.
Recruited from: Central District
Position: Key forward
DOB: 22/04/2005
Height: 197cm
What the Richmond recruiters say about Fawcett...
"Liam is the product of the Central District Football Club in South Australia and played his junior football with Golden Grove Junior Football Club and Pooraka Football Club.
"He's a 197cm key forward who had a consistent season for Central District, avergaing 15 possessions, seven marks (two contested), two goals and a score assist per game.
"Relatively new to the talent pathway, Liam did a fantastic job to represent South Australia in the U18 National Championships, where he showed versatility to play at both ends of the ground.
"Liam is a hard-worker with terrific aerobic capacity and we believe he has a lot of growth in his game once he gets into a full-time training environment.
"On behalf of the Richmond Football Club, we would like to welcome Liam and his family to Tigerland."

LMAO - what an underwhelming write up...even the club isn't talking him up that much... :shh
-
The Flickmixer! Welcome Liam.
-
Gunna go against the vibe here despite knowing nothing about him.. We took a genuine key fwd something we actually need. he looks to have some good attributes.
Performed well at state level and stats look good. he is a good size 197cm . Found plenty of ball took marks kicked goals and has upside being relatively new to elite football.
With a pick around this range what is not to like.

Strong marking tall forward who is mobile and a reliable set shot for goal in clutch moments. Averaged 15.4 disposals and 6.6 marks in 16 games for Central District at under 18 level this year and booted 32 goals, including one with the last kick to win a final. Also represented South Australia in two games at the National Championships and booted two goals against the Allies. Tested soundly at the state Draft Combine with his 3.08 seconds for the 20m sprint and 6:38 for the 2km time trial both strong performances for a key forward.

a reliable set shot for goal in clutch moments.
Other reports seem to indicate he isn't and that conversion is one of his main weaknesses..... :huh
-
Happy with this pick and again if he puts on some size he could be playable in his first 1-2 years.
Hope he's not a dud.

Plenty of recruiters walked away from Liam Fawcett's 6.1, 22 disposal and 218 SuperCoach game against West Adelaide thinking he was bound for the first round. But Fawcett has found his way to Richmond at pick 43, where he will learn under Tom Lynch. Think Brody Mihocek.
https://twitter.com/SamLandsberger/status/1726895962826969387
-
Well he's already got 5cm on mihocek but that would be nice if he's that good
-
At least he addresses a need. We’ll see I guess.
-
He only addresses a need if he any good and becomes a good player. He is just one we need more to give us a better chance of finding a player.
-
Jayden Post or Todd Elton vibes? :rollin

He only addresses a need if he any good and becomes a good player.
Well yeah, that kinda goes without saying.

Liam's a 197cm key forward and we really loved his workrate. Just his ability to keep at it, keep working, gets up the ground and he can mark it as a real conduit key forward… he's got really nice hands and he's kicked some goals as well."

MATT CLARKE ON …
PICK 43 - LIAM FAWCETT (Key fwd)
“In round 1 this year our Perth-based scout and I went to Adelaide. He went to Centrals to watch Fawcett while I was tracking a young boy named Matt Coulthard at a different ground for the mid-season draft. The cameraman didn’t turn up to Liam Fawcett’s standout game, where he had 14 marks and six or seven contested. (The scout) rang me and said, ‘Mate, he is dominating this game and there’s no cameraman. He was sick and didn’t turn up’. A number of clubs saw it, but probably five or six full-timers. Everyone talks about the great game he played that there’s no vision of.”

Well yeah, that kinda goes without saying.
Was only coming from the view that he is pick 43 and what expectations should be placed on him and the list.
We need more than just pick 43 to address our needs. We just cannot sit back and say hey we got a kpf problem solved.
Until any of them prove themselves we still have the need. Taking just one kpf is not going to address our kpf needs.
In Fairness to the club they did try to get pick 30 and go up the draft. Also they only used the two picks and at least with them addressed our two biggest weaknesses in getting a kpf and a big ball winning mid. Where we have taken them though suggests we need more. It will take forever to build a list good enough to challenge useing mostly picks above forty while hardly participating in f/a rookie drafts and trading for players.

2024 will reveal the future prospects more clearly
Firstly Yze and the new game plan. Then how the the 2021 kids come on over 2024 and then the 2024 trade and draft period
After that fire away

I've had it 3 times and lasted only a week each time. Why I never followed western medicine advice. That's the secret! Have faith in nature and real remedies. Nature is t for profit, western medicine and big pharmaceutical companies are!

Your method worked fantastically well lmao
You are meant to develop lifelong immunity after getting it once .. and here is you with not two bouts, but three .. and telling people how they should treat it

TIS didn't just have the regular G fever - he had the Top G fever.....:shh

You obviously have no idea about glandular fever. Once you get it it remains with you forever! When your run down and immune system weakened it can flair up again. Just like cold sores. I've had yes 3 times. Yet it never stopped me, was still working with it, never bed ridden for months, no chronic fatigue, so shove that up your clacker. You're all so intelligent know it alls here. Life long immunity , ffs you make me laugh!!!

Correct, EBV often infects you and stays dormant before becoming symptomatic many years later.
Astronauts have also noticed that they become symptomatic in space - have you been to space also? Haha

Once you have had glandular fever, it is unlikely you will develop it again. This is because people develop lifelong immunity after the initial infection

The antibodies provide lifelong immunity, and glandular fever rarely comes back a second time.

I can link you another 20 showing I’m correct
But it’s ok . Might just be your immune system

Pathetic. Glandular Fever is part of the herpes family. Cold sores are the same. So going by that BS you read, once you get a cold sore you'll never get one again. I've never had a cold sore.
-
You are both right.
You are meant to develop life long immunity but it can reactivate in very rare cases. If managed properly you should recover and never see it again. Confident Liam will be fine and his first pre season is pointless anyway being a KP forward. He will be fine in long run.

If only we had an active forum member who is a doctor who could chime in with safely medical advice. Someone who bleeds yellow and black if you will

Modest, interested & grateful; he spoke so warmly of his host family.
Prefers jumper numbers in the 30’s, parents have a dachshund & he doesn’t like mean people.
