He's 23 now, I have been a big supporter based on his VFL form, but I would have expected more by this stage at AFL level.
3 years seems too long IMO. 2 years would have been plenty.
Nankervis contracted for 2 more years. Ryan likely to be getting a crack at being number 1 ruck in the 3rd year of this deal. If you don't sign him for 3 years and he gets a lot stronger 2025, or 2026 other clubs could snap him up before we get the chance to deploy him as our #1 ruckman.
He won't be on silly money and he is a bit better than most rucks as a forward as well and should get better there. Good list management imo.
Interesting to hear the young fella so relaxed and confident we will turn things around, starting with more wins this season.
