Bailey Fritsch is another that came from a VFL program, and I think we are a bit better in the recruiting dept than when we brought in players like J Lisle.Hopefully Ryan is our Tom Stewart who debuted in the AFL as a 24 year old.

It is possible they have a couple of other players they want to have a chat with apart from Ryan.With Chris Fagan and Danny Daly flying down to Melbourne yesterday you would think Brandon Ryan has given an indication that he is keen to move... IMO it will get done late.
I'd be rapt if we added Ryan and McLaughlin this off season, key/3rd tall forward depth sorted, probably still need another tall defender as cover for Payne/Andrews.
I don’t get the excitement about a 26 year old that has barely done a thing at VFL/AFL level and even less so giving up a second round pick for him, irrespective of what year it’s from.
Would rather Schache back and that’s saying something or hell Gunston stays.
So this bloke is going to compliment our thirst for VFL talls with Lane, Smith, Fort etc., I honestly don’t see the need. If Joe or Eric goes down, just go mobile down forward or bring in Fort.
Although Tom Fullerton’s first couple of games were very good and the way he moved to take his first mark in his first game, I thought we had something.Anyone watched much of Ryan? Sounds promising but would be a pretty early pick to hand over.
I am keen on usB
Brody Mihocek drafted at 25yo
Look there are so many examples of the other way around.
But Ryan did kick 3 in his second game, Fullarton has never looked like doing that and been in the AFL system for years now.
Ryan clearly has upside given how recently he was playing local footy. Seems a canny selection to provide someone who could A) play this year and not be too raw but B) also be someone still playing if Daniher when daniher starts to drop off in 2-3 years
We shouldn't get carried away but from a list profile point of view and flag tilt next year he seems ideal
Jono Freeman kicked 4 under lights at the G against Collingwood so I’m not sure citing one game is justification for bringing in this guy.Anyone watched much of Ryan? Sounds promising but would be a pretty early pick to hand over.

I actually think that Tommy did show something. He had a very good game against the Hawks in Tassie last year and also did a good job against Melbourne in the finals last year when called up at the very last moment when Daniher couldn’t play. Obviously, Melbourne have recognised that as well.Anyone watched much of Ryan? Sounds promising but would be a pretty early pick to hand over.

Supposedly St Kilda are willing to pay part of Jack Billings' contract. I think he has something to offer us as a winger or half forward flank.
So what is it about Jack that has made him so unappealing for the Saints and other clubs?Supposedly St Kilda are willing to pay part of Jack Billings' contract. I think he has something to offer us as a winger or half forward flank.

Could that future second rounder be ours from the Ryan deal perhaps?
True but I am trying to remember the last time the AFL adjusted a rule and it made it easier/better for us ...Correct, but has been clear indication that they will review it after this trade period: Tiger to stay, draft rules under review, Bomber made to wait
Could that future second rounder be ours from the Ryan deal perhaps?
No, because there has been no Ryan deal yet, and teams can’t trade what they don’t currently have.

Cal Twomey. Not too bright
How would trading our only key forward depth for next year help free up salary cap space for the following year?
