I'm still in the less likely than more likely camp on this bloke.

Is showing some genuine improvement, has clunked some good marks the last couple of weeks.

Going forward Im starting to think that Ryan maybe a much better combo with Nank then Soldo . No doubt he still needs another pre season or 2 under his belt , however I think he is becoming a genuine Ruck/fwd , be interesting if we can keep both , Soldo Could possibly help land an A grade mid

developing nicely. 2 years on limited VFL football (as it did for many you kids) haled his development. Tracking along nicely, opportunity to play game 2 will come along soon (I was about to say debut, but we will all forget game 1)

Let's give the kid a second debut.

Present the jumper, call the folks, fabricated tear rolling down the cheek...

And an apology from dimma for selecting him on a horrible night for his now discarded debut.

I think everybody including Dimma realised he was selected for the firsts too early so credit to the lad, he has knuckled down to training and learning the ropes. Not sure he is quite ready for AFL but this just an opinion as I have only managed to stream a couple of VFL games but in 2023, if I accept the reports of his progress, I hope to see him regularly in the firsts

I've been weighing this up. Rhys Stanley slaughtered Nank and Soldo at the fall last week. Rhys FFS Stanley.

Nank was lactic or is gone. And Soldo is knee.

We've got to play Ryan soon. Probably now.

He doesn’t look physically ready to me.
Needs to put on more muscle to help him cope with a very physical role - whether that be ruck or forward.

On his VFL form should have been in the AFL side last 2 weeks instead of Soldo. Another MC *smile*

Samson Ryan & Balta will most likely be the ruck duo next week.
Well Balta better get his skates on and start training with the main group, ideally I think they were targeting the Fremantle game and not concerning themselves with the walkover North Melbourne, unfortunately now nothing can be deemed a walkover.

They might want to rethink that strategy.

Is he up to rucking on his own for an entire game. Because he'll need to.

Good luck!!
