Ordinary tonight. Has shown enough this year that he is worth persevering with though.
I reckon this season is catching up with him now - they targeted him tonight.
Gotta get games into Ryan ... and we have to learn to take the good with the bad in the morning short-term. Will be a very good player.
Was living on media street during the week.
Happens to all budding stars. Easy to distract them.
He’ll be better for getting through it.

Needs to keep his feet. Has no aerial presence for a big man. Looks like how Kirk tippet played. Looks like Jane, plays like Jane.
Unfortunately neither does nank anymore. No point dropping behind the ball as a ruckman if u ain’t gonna mark it

Last two weeks he's had near 30 odd HOs playing predominantly ruck. Last night only 5 & struggled when sent forward to accommodate Nank's return..
None of it worked.

I think he may benefit from a spell. He's pretty immature physically, and has copped few biggish hits, and playing 8 games in a row at fairly high intensity, may be finding him out.
At least we have Miller to cover, if he does need a week off.
Didn’t have a great game, however continues to get to more contests and competes well, simply just to light against the beasts at this stage
Like most of his team mates he had a poor game but unlike some of his mates I’m not as worried about his performance. He’ll have games like that as a developing player. Many of the others don’t have that “developing” factor to fall back on.
Has to address his body strength. He’s listed as 103kg but Draper is listed at 105 and Gawn at 110. Not a huge weight difference but massive difference in body strength. Lot of work ahead.
He’s ok at Centre bounces as agility can work, but no surprise in the Melbourne game (second half) and last night, opposition ruckman tried to body him at every possible opportunity. He’s was ok but will need to get stronger to compete.
His marking is the biggest concern to me. Doesn’t commit, flies half hearted too often (including not putting both arms up a couple of times) and seems more worried about opponents than the ball. The mark he dropped in the goal square (that was incorrectly paid) was a case in point - should be taking those. Repetition practice is the only answer - 100 marks a day over summer if he wants to improve it.
