Richmond has used its only selection, No. 18 overall, in the 2018 Rookie Draft to recruit Subiaco forward/midfielder Liam Baker.
Here is a summary of what Richmond fans can expect from Baker...
Liam Baker
Date of birth: 27/1/1998
Height: 173cm
Weight: 67kg
Position: Midfielder/forward
From: Subiaco (WAFL)
Liam played with West Perth in 2016 and represented WA at u18 national level. In 2017 he moved clubs to Subiaco where he played 13 league games as a midfielder/forward. He averaged 16 disposals and kicked 19 goals this season with four tackles per game. Liam is a superbly balanced player who is highly skilled on both sides of his body with elite crumbing ability. Liam has great defensive instincts as a forward, constantly harassing the opposition and intercepting loose balls. Liam ran a 10:24 3km time trial at the 2016 National Combine to rank in the top 15 of that draft class.
We are delighted to add Liam to our midfield and forward mix.
