Osca Riccardi
STRENGTHS: + Work rate + Endurance + Footy smarts + Clean hands IMPROVEMENTS: – Kicking consistency – Contested work An eligible Geelong father-son prospect, Osca Riccardi hopes to follow in dad Peter’s footsteps.

Darcy Edmends
STRENGTHS: + Disposal efficiency + Composure + Outside game IMPROVEMENTS: – Speed – Contested work After impressing at bottom-aged level, it took some time for Northern Knights’ Darcy Edmends to find that same level of impact in 2022, but an impressive back half of the year still has him firmly in the draft frame.
