Jayden Post (born 5 December 1989) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing with the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Post is from the Melbourne suburb of Altona and played junior football with the Western Jets in the TAC Cup.[2] In the 2008 season, he took both the most contested and the most uncontested marks in the TAC Cup.[3]
Drafted with the 26th selection in the 2008 AFL Draft, Post, being a key position player, has attempted to model his game style that of retired Richmond star, Matthew Richardson.[2] After playing with Richmond's VFL-affiliate Coburg for the first half of the 2009 season, Post made his AFL debut in round 14 against Adelaide.[3] Post was impressive in his third match, a draw against North Melbourne.[4] He went on to play seven more games for the Tigers in 2009. Post also played seven senior games in 2010, spending the rest of the season with Coburg.
Post was called up to his first AFL game for season 2011 in round nine as a late inclusion[5]
