Player Watch #32 Samson Ryan

[tora tora tora]

Hayes Brown showed a bit as well so you would think would improve.

Could always throw in Colina, 3 years in and they still can't get a picture of the Richmond website. 19ft tall and nobody has ever met him, might unsettle Gawn for a couple of ball ups.

Great for the VFL team cos I remember some short KPF doing a fair bit of rucking due to Miller, even, getting promoted. Delisting bigoa.
Colina won't play either. Kosi be better, if he spends time in the VFL. Soldo turned into a good VFL player quickly. I cannot see Colina doing the same.

It's funny I was making this video below while this thread started kicking off on exactly the same topic.

I reckon Samson can make it as our number 1 ruck.

Come at me.

He should

But stop playing him foward , He is Ruck and should be playing full time Ruck

 

[THE_GUN]

Its one thing to back him in, already in year 5. but if he does not improve will they have the balls to say no we made a mistake.

Should we have all of our future eggs in the Ryan and Basketballer baskets? or should we have another likely prospect just in case, given Nankervis is already 30 and the likes of Ryan and Colina have shown so little to date?

Prudent list management suggests we need to cover our bases.

Whats Sims ?
Chopped liver

Already tall as Nank and a 20cm bigger leap and will be the same size as TDK in 2 years

Seen enough from Sims to tell he’ll be a serious player, the height and leap combo, clunks marks, looks like he competes hard. Give him a couple of years to develop physically.

Typically minced meat & cabbage actually.

Has apparently spent all of the preseason so far as 80% ruck and drifting forward, outpointed Nank in the latest match sim

What is it with Colina?

Not one person on hre has ever seen him play senior football off a reasonable preparation.

But everyone seems to know he is not capable of playing good football ever.

The games we've seen, he looks like a newborn giraffe.

Have you ever tried to play Aussie Rules off no pre-season, after not having played the sport for many years, starting against players who are fully prepared and in the middle of a season?

It would be next to impossible for the absolute most talented of players, let alone a marginal player.

You don't need that to be able to run and jump.

The problem with Ryan is he's a winging sook. Whenever he loses a contest or has a decision given against him he immediately complains to umpires or loses focus on getting back in the game. It will take a massive turn around for this spud to become a viable ruck option.

Not sure I have ever seen Colina jump but at 7ft+ he might get away with that. But even in the few VFL games and one practice match he played we did see evidence of his strong running ability.
