Tylar Young to debut against Adelaide

By Richmond Media
23 March 2023

Richmond will blood 24-year-old key defender Tylar Young against Adelaide on Saturday, completing a meteoric rise for the former VFL-listed Tiger.

Young was selected with pick No. 26 overall at last year’s Rookie Draft after an impressive season playing under Steve Morris in Richmond’s VFL program.

A talented soccer, cricket, and table tennis player as a junior, Young was convinced to make the switch to football to play with his mates at North Albury for the 2019 Ovens and Murray season.

Young’s raw athletic ability and speed for someone of his size immediately stood out, with his rate of improvement earning him a VFL debut at Frankston before the end of the season.

The Albury product signed full-time at the Dolphins for the 2020 COVID ruined season before resuming his fledgling football career in 2021.

Richmond recruiters swooped on the youngster ahead of the 2022 season, attracting him to join the VFL program, and his rapid rate of development saw him drafted by the end of the year.

Young played in both of Richmond’s AFL practice matches throughout the pre-season before narrowly missing out on senior selection last week.

Speaking to the media, coach Damien Hardwick said that Young had made an immediate impact since arriving at Punt Road full-time.

“We have been impressed with this kid,” he said.

“He has been in our system for five minutes, but he has taken us by storm, really. We have been impressed by how he has gone about it.”

Young will play in the Tigers' backline and will be capable of assuming a match-up on both tall and small forwards; such is his flexibility.

Good luck to him he will get one of Walker, Fogarty, Himmelberg or even Thilthorpe.
Imo Miller stiff.

Best of luck to Tylar  .

The injury last week looked quite bad when he went down and he was carried off by the trainers. Thankfully, it looked worse than it actually was, and he has recovered quickly.

Don't think he will get Walker. He will get one of the others like Himmelberg.

Balta -> Walker
Young -> Himmelberg
Grimes/Broad -> Fogarty

Congratulations Tylar

Wish you all the best

And I wouldn't be qt all surprised if he takes Walker

[Gigantor]

WP you rate him ?I know zip about him so I can’t comment.

[crackertiger]

Congratulations Tylar..

No I don't actually. Said after the Melbourne praccy game he looked way off the pace. Not ready for AFL

But knowing how sometimes we do things with newbies I wouldn't be surprised if they start him on Walker

Grimes and Broad would get monstered by foggarty IMO. Reckon Young should go to him. Would have made sense to play Miller on H but oh well

Grimes and Broad are too small to play on 2m tall 99kg Himmelberg though. Like you say Miller would've been the choice if he wasn't dropped. 

Last year in round 5, we played Tarrant and Miller as our two key backs (Balta was used up forward). Both were still finding their feet in our back six at that stage, so Walker and Himmelberg ended up kicking 9 between them  .

Tylar: I'm debuting in Adelaide.

Dad: How are we supposed to get to Adelaide?! You've upset the apple cart 'cause mum was going to the races.

Mum: How the frig do we get to Adelaide?!


Dad: Oh f***, how cool is that!

Dad: You're going to have to play your **** off and be more aggressive.

Dad: Obviously you can't bump as that's being faded out. Well, you can still bump but you just can't ****** get airborne.

Tylar: This is being videoed.

Dad: Lucky I didn't swear.

They may well be needed for  Thilthorpe if he comes in to their team as well, who gets him?

There was no Fogarty last year and they may play Thilthrpe as well so the Miller exclusion is a bit baffling in many ways. thats why i suggested perhaps Miller as the sub.

Keep going back to the Melbourne practice game where they went with Brown mcdonald Gawn and Grundy and totally carved our defenders up.
Atm i don't see it with Young here's hoping he can step up we are going to need him to.

[Rodgerramjet]

Let's hope he plays better than the praccy match. Good luck son
