The players Peucker models his game on

“I like watching a lot of (Brisbane’s) Zac Bailey and (Western Bulldogs’) Rhylee West, the way they go about it, and they’re pretty good players. I like to watch them,” Peucker said.

Peucker was a dominant force for the Woodville West-Torrens U/18s this year, averaging 25 disposals, 1.5 goals, and 5.5 score involvements per game.

He was particularly prolific late in the year, with 34 disposals and two goals in a narrow loss to West Adelaide in Round 14, and 31 touches and three majors the following week against Norwood.

Peucker also booted a goal in every game he played for the National Championship-winning South Australia, where he was a teammate of fellow Richmond draftee Sam Cumming.

“It’s definitely something you can’t really speak about. The feeling…I’ve never felt anything like it, it feels amazing,” he said about being drafted.

“It’s always been something I wanted to do, but it’s only really come in the past couple of months when I got invited to the national combine, and now here I am.

“It’s very exciting. To have the opportunity to play at the highest level is something I’m very grateful for.”

Club's view:

"Richmond now has the flexibility to make an addition to its list through the SSP over the summer or to hold the spot through for the Mid Season Rookie Draft."

Affectionately known as ‘NRT’, Roberts-Thomson featured prominently in the Draft Combine 20m sprint and agility screening.

Roberts-Thomson averaged 23 disposals and booted 17 goals at SANFL U/18 level this season.

Richmond National Recruiting Manager Rhy Gieschen said that Roberts-Thomson’s speed, power, and terrific work ethic were the backbone of his game.

“Noah had a strong and consistent season for Sturt and South Australia,” he added.

“He is a team-first player who played an important role as a forward for South Australia in their National Championships winning team, where he averaged 6.3 score involvements per game.

“Noah is a tough competitor who played out the season with a broken finger, highlighting his grit and character.

“We are thrilled to welcome Noah and his family to Tigerland.”

​​Heard through the grapevine that Richmond had Peucker a top 20 prospect. Probably why Rhy Gieschan was so confident we’d “get our player”

Some of the dumbest batting you’ll see. Just these last 2 wickets of starc and Carey boggles the mind.
England: 'This is how to throw away your wicket.'

Aussies: "Hold our beers!"


Yesterday, was some of the softest batting you'll see at Test level by both sides, but the Aussies were far worse. When you have Labuschagne as an opener and 39 y.o. Khawaja as your No.4 then you get what you deserve.

It’s a bit early to make that call on the 2025 class, Hipwood is not a spud either, unlikeable but not a spud.

A lot of people upset in tigers land but I don't mind it.


NHH
Oudshoorn-Bennier
Tom McGuane
Tom Burton
Rory Wright

Etc. can be invited to train for the last spot.

Harsh and not very romantic to kellaway but ruthless and bold by the club.

Like others have said he is objectively not good enough at this stage unfortunately. Proven by being passed on by the league in two drafts.

I know that Tom Burton has been invited to train with us.

who else?
