New Tiger draftees pre-season update ....... (afl site)

Are your club's draftees sinking or swimming during their first pre-seasons?

RICHMOND

Daniel Rioli: Being handed the No.17 by his great uncle, former Tiger star Maurice Rioli, wore was enough to make this pre-season memorable but he has been impressive on the track. Despite being light he handles the ball well, is quick and stands out in skill drills.

Oleg Markov: Lived with experienced teammates Dylan Grimes and Nathan Drummond as he settled into the routine. Confident, athletic and enjoying the work, the strong runner has impressed with his attitude.

Nathan Broad: Mature-aged defender from Western Australia who has several state league seasons behind him. A good runner, he has the body to slot straight into the senior team. He still needs to work on his kicking.

ROOKIES

Callum Moore: A late starter to AFL football, he is athletic and has shown agility. With a basketball background, he needs to build his frame over time.

Mabior Chol: Rangy and athletic, the young tall left-footer from Queensland is a project player who is being gradually introduced to the program. A bubbly character he has fitted in well and has made track watchers sit up and take notice with his athleticism.

Adam Marcon: Matured aged rookie from Williamstown, the 23-year-old settled in quickly and is making every effort to put his name in front of the selectors. He is a hard worker who is putting his heart and soul into every session.

Broad looked a very good kick in his highlights even if his technique was questionable.... AFL environment obviously finding him out....
