Just three months later, mid-season draft magic occurred as he was named as the sub for Richmond against Hawthorn.

On Saturday afternoon, the 22-year-old ran along the MCG wing, took two bounces and hit his Tigers’ teammate Dustin Martin on the chest with his first kick before following up to receive the handball and land the ball in Trent Cotchin’s hands.
News of Coulthard’s impact travelled quickly to Happy Valley’s coach Guy Ridgway, who was standing on the boundary line 725 kilometres away from the ’G.
“He’s a fantastic kid. He has really grabbed hold of an opportunity and is running with it. A few of the guys were giving me updates on what was happening,” Ridgway said.
Coulthard’s rapid elevation from local football to being in the circle singing Richmond’s theme song happened slowly.
Word had filtered through to Richmond early in 2022 that there was a player at Port Noarlunga too good to be playing SA’s Southern League. His name was Matt Coulthard, a player they had seen as a junior with South Adelaide but not much since.


But before the Tigers could watch him he hurt his ankle, his season ending after just three games.
By the first round of 2023, Coulthard was at Glenelg, again in yellow and black, playing reserves against Sturt.

By then the Tigers well and truly had their eye on him.
He gained permission to return to the Southern League for a kick with Happy Valley as it was a Gather Round weekend, and he had missed the previous week through suspension.

“He was an excitement machine. He sat on a couple of shoulders and was a class above. It was good for him to come out and play and the boys saw him in action,” Ridgway said.
Back with Glenelg he impressed, but he needed to play three state league games to be eligible for the mid-season draft. Another bye for a state game made it tight, but he just squeezed in when he kicked four goals on the weekend before the Tigers used pick four of the mid-season draft to add him to the list.
It was his third debut for a different club this season – all with yellow and black jumpers, all rapt at the chance the speedster has taken, working through the grades from local football to the MCG in one season.

Ted’s excellent adventure​

That was an insane sub performance off the bench on debut.

I doubt any sub would impact that like that all the time, but it could not have gone better for him.

 

[blaisee]

Rumour has it, this young fellow may be the fastest player on the list

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Rumour is that theres rumours

He is the chosen one

Wouldn’t be hard.

 

[bc27]

Coulthard and Clarke will be a very exciting duo for the future.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

TIGERS TIE UP MID-SEASON RECRUIT​

RICHMOND has rewarded mid-year recruit Matt Coulthard for a bright start to his AFL career, locking away the former Glenelg small forward to a one-year rookie extension for next season.

The Tigers claimed Coulthard with the fourth pick in this year's mid-season rookie draft, having made an impressive start to the SANFL season with Glenelg where he booted eight goals from six games at both senior and reserves level.

He has since played three AFL games, impressing as the tactical substitute on debut to pick up seven disposals and three score involvements in just one quarter of action against Hawthorn.

Seems right ... shows potential ... but might just be too slight for the level

 

[Muddiemoose]

That’s true
He’s 22 so probably won’t be getting much bigger frame wise

But should be able to put on a few kg’s doing a proper pre season can’t see it really doing anything to hamper his speed

I'm sure he could put some bulk on now that he's in a professional environment 24/7. He was playing in the ammos only a few months ago remember.

 

[Thomas Erdody]

I like this guy, just wait and see when Lynch comes back with this kid at the fall of ball kicking goals for fun. He'll get 35 goals next season if Lynch remains healthy.

Not sure about that. I reckon he'll end up on a hff/wing, not a pure small forward.

Our own Cyril in the making...

[Rioli2Rioli]
