Tylar Young [merged]

[hyperlite]

Hes making better decisions than most of our backline, which shows how bad our backs are playing. I'd have him playing ahead Grimes and Balta based on last night. Getting experience into him is one of the few positives.

[georgies31]

Agree with no help around him to as the senior blokes have become panic merchants.

Without doubt the biggest plus of 2023 by an absolute country mile

[one-eyed]

Young, a mature-age recruit for the Tigers this season as a 24-year-old, had seven one-percenters on debut against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval in Round 2. Then, in Round 3 v Collingwood at the MCG, he had a team-high 10 one-percenters, followed by a game-high 15 one-percenters v Western Bulldogs at the MCG in Round 4, and a game-high 11 one-percenters against Sydney at the Adelaide Oval last Friday night.

After five rounds of the 2023 season, Young is ranked No. 1 in the competition for one-percenters per game with 10.7.

And he’s slowly but surely finding more of the ball in Richmond’s back half as well, with 11 disposals in each of his past two games.

Clearly, Young has been a key positive for the Tigers in the early stages of season 2023. And, given he didn’t take up playing Australian Football until just four years ago, there is a huge upside to him.

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.

Though I would like to see him clunk a few marks when he has the opportunity rather than the punch all of the time

Agree WP
But maybe working within his current limitations and trying to be team first

Few others could follow

[Tigerteam]

He is definitely taking his opportunity presented to him. He is still learning his craft & doing so well in such a short space of time. Love the way he backs himself in. If only we had Rance to assist him with some of his expertise. Maybe the club can get Rance to offer some of his prowess if he has time of course.

Defender Tylar Young has also exceeded expectations.

Not many would have heard of the 24-year-old earlier this year, but he’s come from obscurity to play four accomplished games in a difficult position.

Confidence is shot after last week and that brainfade today. Only wants to kick long even when the option is to go short. Noticed his teammates ignored giving him the ball a couple times in that second quarter too.

Stick to your limitations. Long down the line or handpass to a Rioli.

[Go Richo 12]

Clear throw not paid

[Go Richo 12]

How have we become so pathetic, so quickly?

[pmac21]

Having a shocker.  Not up to it.

[Andyy]

Take him down to the back paddock
