I'm getting Nathan Murphy vibes...as in a bit of a long burn

From the games I watched him in the VFL (and I admit I didn't watch alot), his pace didn't stand out to me. Hopefully, I'm wrong and he is quick.

In his first pre-season he came 2nd just behind IQ in the yoyo test. It was very impressive.
Lost a bit of confidence this year compiled with his injuries, but seemed to be starting to find pre-concussion form in the last couple games

Why not defence?

He didn't have a good year, but in year 1 he looked like he read the play and zoned well - it looked to be his strength.

Personal preference
With Q and Houston coming off HBF, unless we play him as an undersized CHB, I’d prefer him to play higher and use his dash out of the centre / into the forward line

Yes please. My favourite non-Pie. He's from Darley - just up the road from leon123. Would have grown up in the Pies kit and would look great in it.

Our new kill the clock tactic will be Nick and Zack running around in circles handballing to each other for 5 minutes with no one able to tackle them.

Just get him and play him.

Him Being a darley lad, he is a collingwood lad, he'd have many stolen cars from his youth to prove it as well

He grew up supporting bulldogs

"
I’ve grown up supporting the Bulldogs, I’ve been a member since I was two or three years old.
I went to the 2016 grand final, I got to be there to witness that moment live, and I just love the club, I love all the players there as well. It’d be that extra bit special to be there and be part of it all for myself."

He’s so close to Bullengarook and all the great people of the rook barrack for the Pies.

That’s just a fact.

I lived there from 74 to 87. Lived next door to the primary school (where I went) - about 45 kids then.

Won the 2km time trial

Needs a big year imo

A position change over summer might help

Yes, positions are tight.

But with the hard running capacity Ryan might be better served on a wing at VFL level in order to realise his full footballing potential

Still training down back from what I can see, But Id like to see a trial on the wing, but guess Harry is gunning for that position too.

Don’t know how many times I’ve posted this exact same thing
Guy needs to be further up the ground
He could play wing
He could play running mid role rather than extractor

2km trial means nothing

Rantall won it ....even though he had just come from the womb
 
If the coaches have given him feedback that this upcoming season may be make or break for Jakob, then he is off to a good start by coming back in shape and winning the time trial.

That's good to see.
