On current form Jackson can’t get near it. Must be that big contract tied to his neck.
Only played two games in a new team, he'll be ok. Ryan was on the podium for worst footballer in history a game ago.

Still a long way from full time ruck.I think the only thing that is holding him back from being a starting ruck is his tank is not yet developed. He currently blows up too easily.
Luke Jackson comfortably ahead, are the King boys under 22 still?
Ryan Samson will be snapping at their heels before long if he keeps building on that game though. I'd read here that he has excellent hands and it was spot on, looks a great kick as well.
If he can hold his own in the ruck this year then it would be huge.

Pretty sure Cotch was a goal with his first kick but as for multiples in relatively recent timesSAMSON!
There have been heaps of blokes kick a goal with their first kick in league footy, probably plenty with their first two, maybe even a few with their first three. But I reckon none with their first three - in their second game. And did he kick the goal in the last when we needed it? From 50? Did he what. Made of the right stuff. Get onboard.
What behind the goals vision and other data will tell the MC is whether the three talls (plus Dusty and Cotch) made it too easy for Adelaide to outrun us in the third, but the spacing and one-out opportunities all three got warmed an old key forward's heart. What did they kick - 8 between them? Take that every week.
I'd hear thru a physio the Jurica was a lovely person but his body let him down and we didn't see the best of him by a long shotJurica??
I wonder if he's related to Ross Clendenning?
You certainly did read on here how excellent
Footy's fairly easy when there's a bunch of premium elite players on big shekels drawing all the heat and enabling ya to just rummage around n do your own thang.On current form Jackson can’t get near it. Must be that big contract tied to his neck.
Couple more years yet for Delilah to grow some core power. Nothing wrong with him being a handy deep forward n part time ruck in the meantime though.Still a long way from full time ruck.
Was tremendous at centre bounces often getting first hand on.
Was easily shifted in around the ground ball ups and throw ins.
If he was #1 ruck this year the bad guys would have 60 points from stoppages
Agreed. There were suggestions he could ruck fulltime now.Couple more years yet for Delilah to grow some core power. Nothing wrong with him being a handy deep forward n part time ruck in the meantime though.
He really let me down !!The Undroppable: Samson Ryan
The 22-year-old looked much more equipped as an AFL player in his second outing.
Ryan has put on a bit of size over the off-season (and plenty more since his 2021 debut) and seems more comfortable at the elite level.
That showed in his output against the Crows.
The 206cm Ryan finished with three goals including a crucial set shot from 50 in the tense final term. He also took four marks (two contested) and helped out in the ruck.
While his overall numbers weren’t huge, his presence could help the Richmond forward line stretch some smaller opposition defences.

That pic will strike fear into the hearts of opposition backmen across the country.
