Jordan "The Wall" Ridley

 

[jannissary]

maturity beyond his ages, hasn’t even hit 100 games yet and he’s dominating like that.

firmly believe that he’ll command more & more respect as the season goes forward. can’t think of many smarter footballers currently playing

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

There's my All-Australian calibre backman

 

[Zach Package]

A welcome reminder that he’s 195cm tall, one of the quickest players on our list, has clamps for hands and kicks perfect piss missiles

 

[ghostdog]

To come back and dominate so completely, what a brilliant return. And takes the piss by kicking a goal, too. And wins the Yiooken. Not often a backman wins a major award.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Took the piss, what a return.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Hahahahaha what a cheat code

 

[Yoda_]

Hahahahaha what a cheat code

this,

imagine being 3rd (before the match) and insert an AA calibre backmen into the side

 

[WABomber]

One of the most dominant displays from a backman I have seen in a long long time. Contested marks, intercept marks, composure, lace out passes and a goal to top it off. He wont get that kind of freedom against the better sides but holy shit he was good.

 

[jannissary]

Calling it early. He is the value pick of this draft.

calling it very early and very correctly

goal vision.

for someone who self admittedly hasn't played much (if any forward) in recent years, his routine was solid

After game on 7 he said he doesn’t really have a routine given that it was his first set shot

probably why it was so good, didn't want to overthink it

Ridley can play as a key back. But we saw yesterday just how much better he is in the third defender role. McKay, Lav, Reid are vital to allow him to play the Stewart role, which is where he won his Crichton.

We’ve also got to figure out how to keep him on the park. ~86 games in 8 years isn’t enough.

 

[Vindicater]

Like he never left.

 

[Andronicus]

Lav played souch better last night.

I wonder how much he benefits from having McKay and Ridley in the backline with him.

 

[NAB777]

The 2016 draft would be an interesting re-visit.

calling it very early and very correctly

Came in to past the question..where does he sit if the 2016 draft is re-done?
