Tyler Sonsie Biography

Tyler Sonsie makes his AFL debut for Richmond at Docklands Stadium with 19 disposals (11 kicks and 8 handballs), a mark and a tackle in a 4-point loss to North Melbourne.

Richmond select Tyler Sonsie with pick No.28 in the 2021 National Draft.

Draft Report: A smooth mover with excellent foot skills, Sonsie is a player who runs hard to break the lines and finds plenty of the footy. Well exposed in 2019, he impressed during the under-16 national championships for Vic Metro and played six NAB League games for the Ranges including the Grand Final loss to Oakleigh Chargers. However, Sonsie has further stepped up his game this year, starring in the opening rounds of the NAB League season before earning a VFL opportunity with Box Hill. His debut VFL appearance against Werribee in Round 4 was stunning, with Sonsie logging 24 disposals, six clearances and two goals. The AFL Academy member also played in April's clash against Geelong's VFL team but was relatively quiet in that match. A knee injury interrupted his season after that but Sonsie is still likely to be a top-20 pick.
