Congratulations Michael Rix

[Mr Brightside]

Big Blonde fella who played for coburg last year(B an F winner) played for box Hill before that.Real good attack on the footy with good hands but a ordinary kick,also good mates with a lot of the Tiges

 

[checkside]

The other coburg draftee last year Lachlan McKinnon, who was drafted onto Essendons Rookie list, had a shoulder reco a couple of months ago.

Again how bad are the saints Rucks if this guy is getting a game?

 

[craig]

Rix has plenty of size but is one of those built like tarzan plays like jane types.

The boy is big enough and couldnt do any worse than Fisher (who is hopelessly undersized at 189 - 190 cm apparantly and Acland who is a spare part ruck not a first choice ruck.

Good luck to him all he has to do is provide an honest even contest at centre bounces and help out down back to improve the saints fotunes and cement a spot. Good luck to him.

Big Rix this week a certainity to play for the Saints.

 

[mr17]

cant believe all the well wishers! he is a saints players, who cares about where he played at vfl! Deleted why should we care about other teams' players and wish them well!
when he plays against us, will you hope he plays well and wins a game 4 the saints!
i have alwyas been one to support and barrack for the club , the tigers club, not the individual. Deleted

 

[feisty tige]

No harm in wishing well your former seconds B&F player IMO. It is not like he is Brad Ottens


Go well young Rix !

 

[RROFO]

Ex Coburg, drafted by the Saints last year.

and Richmond rookie.

 

[MackTiger]

and quicker than adam pattison

 

[tigersforever06]

Bout time he got a game

Saw him first hand against Box Hill 4-5 weeks ago.

A better ruckman then Ackland,Blake or Brooks anyday

 

[Mr Brightside]

Ronaldson from Coburg is a very similar player IMO but a better kick an younger could still be a chance too.
Oi Craig thats BS that Rix plays like Jane, what crap

 

[mr17]

too many softies here, rix is not a tiger,  who cares how he goes, and he is not better than patterson for all deleted who think so!!

patto is only what 19, rix 25!!!! by 25 patto will be dominating the afl in the big man department

 

[Tigerfan]

rix got the first goal tonight against Sydney @ the SCG.

 

[pahoffm]

Still, not a bad effort by Rix in a game not suited to talls.

It may have been damned cold at the MCG today, but at least it stayed dry.

 

[Arjay]

Rix did okay tonight; At least he's at a club where he should get a few games.
Good luck to him I say. He's willing to have a go.

 

[TT33]

Not a bad debut for a guy at a club whose coach doesn't rate ruckmen. Well done Rixy, good to see your perseverence rewarded.
