Samson Ryan

Soldo has become okay in the ruck and even contributes a bit around the ground, but Ryan is miles ahead of him as a forward.

Yep, and Ryan is better than Miller as a forward.
With Tarrant likely to miss round 1, Miller to play down back and Ryan to play forward/2nd ruck, which is the role that Miller played last year.

TBR will walk backwards naked across the Nullarbor if Samson plays R1.

Just some context to Ryan today.

1. He was playing in the last quarter of a 30 degree practice match when no-one gave a stuff.

2. In terms of the reserves game, on the Show Me the Money documentary when discussing the recruiting of Brodie Grundy, Melbourne list manager Tim Lamb said their ruck stocks were Max Gawn and nothing else. His words, 'literally nothing'. They then added Josh Schache to the list because he had shown promise in the ruck at VFL level for the Bulldogs. If Ryan didn't dominate that game there's be something wrong.

Positive direction sure, but don't get carried away.
Are you calling for sackings?
HOw long are we going to wait?
Its been 3 years
 
Both Delilah and the Cummerbund struggled with their goal kicking yesterday, was a bit strange as they're normally not too bad in front of goal.
Cumberland’s kicking for goal reminds me of Mathew Wolff’s golf swing.
Too many moving parts and ultimately not always repeatable under pressure although Wolff seems to be square at impact somehow

He got me angry yesterday.
Half Josh Kennedy, Half James Manson.
I wouldn't play him off that performance in round 1.

He looked a bit down on confidence and lost yesterday.

I think Sampson has a big immediate future.

Angry, 206's, who can jump are very rare

There’s a tendency to write off young and developing players on this site and then defend that opinion to the death.

Great contested marking and mobility yesterday. Why not celebrate it? Not much comment on JR not turning up. I know where I want the club to put it’s energy/focus.

Ryan plays forward like he knows what he’s doing , kicking needs work but we can worry bout that later , he puts himself in good potions and really attacks the contest with confidence , get him in the bloody side
