Player Watch #32 Samson Ryan

[tugga]

He’s unlucky in that three of his four games have been in the slop.
‘the one dry day he kicks three.

Yep. But blame the selectors cos if it wasnt going to work the first time, they tried another 2 times. Lol.

 

[Rayzorwire]

Footy's a wet weather sport and some years you might barely get 5-6 games without at least dew, we need to see if Ryan can compete well enough in both the roles he's having a crack at, wet or dry and give him the chance to learn from senior exposure in all weather conditions.

I thought he was perfectly acceptable today given how wet the 2nd half became, he's actually exceeding my (admittedly quite low) expectations in the ruck more often than not. Bottom line is, with Nank carrying an issue that could easily worsen mid-game, we need the closest available thing we have to a genuine ruck playing.

I like the SR...but gee picking him for his third game in the wet...genius Dimma and MC...it ought to have been Miller playing...
SR is not completely ready for the rigors of AFL...still a learning/growing pup...needs better days to shine and for his confidence to grow!

My daughter was not ready to drive , But i had to let her learn and be there to suffer the pain

kinda similar but different
but same same but different

 

[Daka]

They see him as more of a forward than a Ruck, imo he seems more like a ruck than a forward.

[sanaya]

big period coming up for him if lynch is injured for a bit

 

[Football Tragic]

Its a f**en tragedy that Lynch has gone down. He's irreplaceable but it does give Ryan a decent run at being our number one forward target. It can only help his confidence and career. He has all the skills but lacks the experience, size and arrogance we need at this stage. Jack suddenly becomes crucial.

 

[tunksy]

Gotta keep playing him. Needs to play as the deepest forward atm.

Especially now lynch is gonna miss some game’s development becomes more important.

Miller needs to be the primary ruck chop out.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Well with both the McCartins going down with concussion

He should be more than capable of having it on a platter with the swans defence

do they have any tall defenders ?

Their choices are probably the shoulderless flyer 195cm Nick Blakey, the 194cm Lewis Melican, and 193cm Aaron Francis. They would have had to go 18 men in d50 again to stop T-bone Lynch if he was playing.

 

[db26]

Forget the last 2 games wet weather footy all big forwards struggled keep him in showed us against the crows.

they'll send Sam Reid back won't they

 

[Coach_Required]

I'm not gonna bother watching the replay of this pathetic game.... But I'll be fu@ked if Samson didn't spill 4 or 5 gettable chestmarks unopposed!!!! Clearly he's putrid unless conditions are perfect.... Maybe to suit the little rubber chested petal we can hope to swap our home ground to Telstra Dome so he can actually get a kick. FMD play Biggie, Bauer, Bradtke, Miller, hell anybody got McBeans number???

or maybe he is just a person who has played just 4 or 5 games of AFL? lol

 

[Meteoric Rise]

I don't think he is available for selection.

 

[db26]

Looks good in the ruck give him first crack now with Nank gone.

 

[richoplzbreed]

Actually he's probably played 100 games all up not to mention training sessions and kick to kick. Hell when I was a kid we probably played kick to kick half hour before school, all recess and all lunch. Local footballers get crucified by their mates for dropping chest marks. Blokes who couldn't take simple chest marks were generally the ones we picked last.

[59Stanley]

This lad can play. Will show his promise more in the dry than wet but i am bullish on him.

Sorry to intrude, but have a strong interest in the progress of Samson. He played at Sherwood in QAFL with my son. He has shown remarkable improvement over the last couple of years. He is not getting pushed under the ball as he was in the past and is holding his position. He still needs to improve field positioning, but if they play him in ruck it will a great education at AFL level. Still think he will be best as a forward, but will be a honest ruckman.
