I still reckon Samson is a forward not a ruck so reckon he will be being groomed as our Jack replacement. He'll do most of that in the VFL this year, but wouldn't be surprised if he gets a few games.

Me either. Hopefully if he does he’ll have a bit more experienced back up than he did this year.
I wouldn't worrying about our ideal structure in the VFL I would give Samson the #1 ruck role and building up his tank, will help regardless of what position he eventually ends up playing.
We can plonk 7 foot Mate' at FF as see how he fares.
Just split Mate & Samson's fwd/ruck times 50/50 ot 60/40 if Mate needs to get his fitness upto speed
Good luck to the defenders trying to defend against a 213cm 110kgs giant in the goal square
New deal. Must be pretty happy.

Samson Ryan signs Richmond extension
Samson Ryan has put pen to paper on a new deal, tying him to the Club until at least the end of 2024.
Good signings these ones - has barely played but we have seen enough in training/VFL to know we want him - he gets the surety of the contract and we get value because he doesn't have AFL games to inflate his price. Let's hope one day he towell's up CCJ (if the latter is still playing in a few years)!
Why?
It's not like he is hot property.
Couldve waited to see how he went this year before recommitting

What if he has a great year and clubs needing a tall come sniffing. We know he has potential and this gives him time to develop. Good signing.
Have you watched any of his footy?, (and I don't mean his debut AFL game), It is obvious why we would want to show faith and lock him in IMO.
To counteract the reasons why we lost CCJ. Other clubs are always on the lookout for young talls who haven’t played much. Exactly the right thing to do imo.
Comparing him at the same stage to CCJ is interesting. CCJ was (and is) a better mark than Samson but I reckon Samson has him for agility and ability at ground level. He is a better kick than CCJ as well.
He was drafted for a reason, this is standard player management.
