Welcome 2018 draft pick 52: Welcome to Hawthorn Jacob Koschitzke

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Grrr]

I can't wait to watch the collective look of horror on the Richmond supporters faces when they watch a few of his performances at FF.

That being said, think he'll be a reasonable player for them as the third tall/ruck. Go well Kos!

He won't play FF, that's Lynch's role. We need a player around HF to crash the packs, which sounds like he can do.

In regards to Chol, he's not a bad player. Drifts in and out but he has so much talent, it's all between his ears.

3rd talls normally have great nous, mobility and craft, which allows them to make the most of limited opportunities.

Kosi plays more like a lead up forward, albeit without much leading.

The best way to describe his forward craft is by referencing the fact he’s a failed defender.

Exactly. Kosi is much more likely to be a better 1st forward than he is a 2nd or 3rd. The 2nd and 3rd forwards are the craftiest, but generally less impressive physical specimen.

It's actually an immensely difficult role to play, I can't think of too many successful 3rd talls in modern footy. Tom Lynch (Adelaide), Jack Gunston and Harry Himmelberg a few years back are the only ones that spring to mind.

Kosi might have to be your FF because Lynch is nearly burnt to a crisp.
