AFL Player #38: Rhys Unwin - Welcome to Essendon!

[RedmanWasHere]

Margaret?

Nah that's for the long departed Zerk.

 

[Rick Ross]

I'm calling him "Onion" from now on.

Or Ben.
Or Jesse.

Unwin​

Surely he gets one of:
-Steve
-Croc
-Stingray bait

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Don't really rate his surname. Sounds like someone that finds ways to somehow lose games.

 

[ant555]

Can kick a bit like a speedy WA lad we used to have a few years back.

maskmcgee wants that joke back.

Unwin what an appropriate name for our player

BTW ScrappyCoCo you wore it better

Or Shrek

Because Ogres are like Unwin’s…. They have layers

I vote Steve, it just fits.

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

He admittedly wasn't on my radar before but I'm loving the footage of this kid. Has that Ginnivan knack of dropping the shoulder and inviting the head high free kick. Going to send oppo supporters troppo I'd reckon.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Can't wait to read about Allen and Unwin on each other in the future.

 

[Bjchan13]

Call him Frenchie

 

[Zach Package]

Not that outlandish an opinion but I reckon he plays half a dozen games next year.

I’d be suprised… but there’s definitely some opportunities there we’re all penciling in Kako and he probably doesn’t play every game. His pace gives him a nice point of difference over Gresham/Perkins/Guelf

 

[fishardansin]

Knows how to drop the knees

You do what you can for a promotion.

 

[Nicholas61]

The guy from Everything Essendon reckons he will probably be our quickest player (had a 2.88sec 20m). From that GF vid decision making with ball looked sound and kicking although looks a bit unorthodox seemed ok, generally to advantage of the leading forward. He will probably spend a bit of time with Rath to polish things up a bit. Assuming the write ups of defensive pressure are correct it looks a smart selection at 61. Fox Sports said he had interest from the Giants, Lions and Cats as well.

 

[BuffDog]

Will we FINALLY win a grand final sprint?

Short, lightly framed but a fast, predominantly outside player who's go is outside run, link up and applying pressure with his legs.

Daniels, Daniel, Rogers, Spargo, Bowey, Thomas, Pickett, and the obvious and primary one given he's a speedy Cobden boy who loves to tackle and pressure and has very neat skills, Zach Merrett.

He fits the obvious archetype of someone who plays early because he's not a stick insect and he is aerobically already up to scratch.

Won quite a few clearances in the U18 granny video, think he'll do well off a HFF where he can use his speed to put pressure on and won't be a liability when the ball is on the deck.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Already got a tatt, no way dodoro would've picked him
