His mum spoke about it when they were interviewed post match on mothers day.

s**t timing. Got injured in his under 18 year so didn't get drafted. Went back and played local footy. Was set to play for Carlton when covid hit and it hit for 2 years. Then starred when his league opened again.

The window is almost closed now for finding those hidden gems from 2020 and 2021, especially the Victorians who missed the most football. But this one looks a beauty.

I think I recall reading that we wanted to take Joe in the Rookie draft but our hand was forced early due to interest from Essendon?
Any fact checkers out there?
So it may be easy to guess where interest may be coming from.

I recall that Geelong were interested but he didn’t nominate in time, or something similar?

Yeah supposedly Cats were interested in him for the prior midseason draft, but he wasn't eligible as he hadn't nominated for a draft within the relevant timeframe.

What stands out in that, apart from the excellence of Joe’s debut and his journey to play for the Pies - is Crispy! He’s so happy for Joe. Could be because Crisp’s old club Myrtleford is in the same Ovens and Murray League?

Did we finally get one over the cats. Maybe they were planning on rookieing him.

Yea i noticed that with Crisp as well and wondered what the connection was.

With very little other than the big footy commentary to go on with Richards, imagine my surprise and pleasure at his debut last week. He showed so much more than everyone projected for him. I can't wait to see how he backs up.
I was very unhappy with the decision to dump Ginnivan, but if Richards can continue as he started, then the loss of Ginnivan will be well covered, albeit with a quite different sort of player.

Not to mention Shultz and potentially Harrrison….

There’s a long list of players who have moved past Ginni (who himself is a very good player still).

Maybe he’s his new son like Poulter was lol

Hopefully a better footballer.

Already gone past him and a few more.

Oooooooohhhhh Joey, you’re not magoos anymooooooooore!

 

[TradeDraft]

Barley Touched the Ball in 1st half but when he did he used well

 

[Jonno94]

Very good again when he gets his moments.

 

[3rdMan]

Another good small forward game.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I like how when the ball is kicked to his opponent he’s not easily outmarked even as nearly the smallest player on the ground. Halves a lot of them.

 

[3rdMan]

Unlucky not to be paid a crucial HTB against Keane late as well.

Of the new players he seems the most ready to play a role in the senior side. Plays the small forward role perfectly, able to pressure, score goals and come up the ground and impact.

 

[Kashyboy]

Thought he was good. Great kicking. Super quick!

 

[The Phantom]

Doesn’t waste the ball.

 

[hellfire]

Not as good as last week, but he is just so clean and neat with the ball. He is definitely an AFL player.

 

[jimmy35]

He is very clean and nice composure. Mature aged players have that a bit, they’ve done it hundreds of times in game situations already. Mate of mine said he was outstanding for Wang, cut above in the league.
So pleased he got his chance with us.

 

[Jonno94]

Same with Harrison, if only we could draft key forwards as well.

 

[pablo disco bar]

A one touch player

Will have quiet games comes with being a small forward
