Richmond have matched St Kilda's pick 34 at Friday night's AFL Draft to land Patrick Naish as a father-son selection, their fourth pick on the night.

Here is a summary of what Richmond fans can expect to see from Naish...

Patrick Naish profile 

Born: 15/1/1999

Height: 181cm

Weight: 68kg

Position: Midfielder

From: Ivanhoe/Northern Knights

Patrick comes to Richmond under the father-son rule (Chris Naish played 143 games for the Tigers from 1990-97.

He has been a member of the AFL Academy for the past two years, and completed his schooling in 2017 at Ivanhoe Grammar.

Throughout this year, Patrick combined playing for multiple teams, including Ivanhoe, Northern Knights in the TAC Cup competition, Vic Metro in the under-18 national championships and the AFL Academy.

Patrick averaged 22 disposals per match for Vic Metro during the 2017 under-18 carnival, playing off a wing, half-back, as well as through the midfield, and was subsequently rewarded for his impressive efforts by being named in the All-Australian team. 

He played eight games for the Northern Knights this year, predominantly in a midfield role.

The eye-catching performance he produced in the Round 17 match against Murray Bushrangers – 25 disposals, six tackles and three goals – highlighted the considerable talent he possesses.

Patrick is a natural runner, who generates significant drive for his team all over the ground through elite kicking skills and offensive creativity.

He also has an excellent leap, which makes him a threat in the air with his marking power when playing as a forward.

We are excited to have our first father-son selection in many years.
