Samson Ryan

[happytige]

Sampson was most impressive yesterday. Somehow, to me he seems to possess that elusive quality… composure. He consistently marked the greasy ball, that others were fumbling and he appears to be an accurate kick for goal.

Last year’s AFL match should be forgotten, He now needs heaps of encouragement.
He and Noah Cumberland have had plenty of experience teaming together on the forward line.

This budding young star is really having an excellent season at VFL level.

Tracking a long way ahead of schedule than we would have expected.

With Lynch back he may not get his promotion, but getting close surely.

Get him in for Soldo regardless.

 

[DavidSSS]

Get him in for Nank, Nank is too injured to play.

He will surely come in once it's statistically impossible to make finals. It will be the same for Sam Banks and Tom Brown. They need AFL games to accelerate their development.

It was clear from Fridays game that Soldo will be our number 1 ruck moving forward.

Not sur about that. I reckon Soldo rucked most of Friday cos A) They wanted to give Nank a bit of a rest, while still playing him, and B)If one of our rucks was going to play mostly forward Nank is by far the better option, than Soldo.

I doubt Ryan will get a game now Lynch is back, but his progress is great to see. Hopefully by 2024 he will be an imposing AFL ruckman.

Agree 100%. And when Nank is fully fit, it’s either him or Soldo. Changed my mind - can’t have both in the same team.

Geez if Nank was the better option forward, how bad would Soldo have been!!

Nanks best qualities have never been forward, if he plays it should be back rather than forward as he has a great knack of falling into the defensive pockets to take intercept marks.

Nank cant jump or run. But hey lets keep playing him.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Might play this week. Decks are being cleared.

True. Nank can't run or jump, but he is still a better forward option than Soldo. An even better option would have been the Jack Dyer statue, but that was a bit to heavy to move.

He is underrated amongst the pre-fraternity. Maybe they are still thinking about his first game!

But this kid has all the tools to play AFL. Right now for me he plays.

End The Farce.

Concussion, out of all football this week.

This budding young star

OH BOY!!!!!! We've finally found taller Andy Collins.

Concussion, out of all football this week.

What!!! Was that from the VFL game?

Taking one for Miller being subbed out. The media won’t know the difference. *smile*-heads

 

[UKTiger]

The poor kid who must be on the fringes of a deserved first team call up with both our main ruck under a cloud and he gets concussion. He will get there soon

 

[Scoop]

What!!! Was that from the VFL game?

yes, according to Burge.

 

[Leysy Days]

OH BOY!!!!!! We've finally found taller Andy Collins.

Yeah am all chips in on the big fella.

What he's doing now at 206cm in his second year is excellent.

He's starting to one grab his marks, throws his body around, follows up his work, moves well, kicks fine and good below his knees.

But best of all is his mindset. Watched him up close at a couple of huddles at VFL level this year and his leadership and and voice is outstanding. Is confident and demanding of his teammates in a good way. That a great quality in a young and still skinny ruck.

He's 3 to 4 years away from getting near his ceiling, but by then reckon he can be in the top 3 to 4 rucks in the league.

He is tracking well. But he's not exactly a 2nd year. He will be 22 at the start of next year.

We know rucks develop later and 22 to.23 is when they need to start showing something at AFL level. Still up in the air.
