Small defender, with a good tank it seems.
Looks a unit! Is he a midfielder?
Good long kick, tackles hard. Looks like a good prospect.

Looks like he likes the contest that boy!
Yep, runs all day from all reports and racks up the pill - ran the state combine 2km in 6:07 which was the fastest. Seems quick and explosive too. Could be a real bargain.

Good article on Patrick.

I didn’t realise he had done his ACL in the past too.

AFL or College? Rookie’s big call, goal to be another Cats steal — Courier Mail
Geelong draftee Patrick Retschko had to choose between his two passions, and his decision was vindicated. He reflects on that decision, following in the footsteps of two Cats sensations and more.

Below is snippet from above article and it's great to see Shaun Mannagh and Lawson Humphries giving the young boys much encouragement along with some excellent advice through their own personal experiences that can only be beneficial to this young crop of pussy cats.
“But I was very grateful to have my name read out, especially when you’re a back end pick, to have them have their faith in you, it is a pretty special prize.” Mature-age sensations Shaun Mannagh and Lawson Humphries were two players that Geelong from nowhere last year and they have already been a “huge help” for Retschko.
“I have no doubt that out of the group of boys that were picked up this year, that a fair majority of us will hopefully be successful and at the very least put our best step forward,” Retschko said. “Especially with those boys (Mannagh and Humphries) 'guiding us in terms of their journey' and the diverse kind of nature of the group, I think it’s really going to benefit all of us pretty well.”

makes me wonder who would win the AFL Olympics ….
Carlton would take home all the gold in the diving.
Stanley would go well in the weightlifting though.
So would Paddy Cripps, his arms must be really strong from having to carry 21 other people every week for the last 11 years.
