Player Watch Jakob Ryan

[TradeDraft]

 

[Mollythedolly]

Head that only a mother could love, perfect for a defender. Welcome to the mighty Pies. Continues our love affair with SA players.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Welcome Jakob.

 

[Kirby]

Welcome Jakob.

Very confident this kid will be a jet.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Super dodgy hair
Welcome!

 

[Jelly Bean]

We delisted Caleb Poulter and then recruited his exact same player in Ryan...

 

[The Dawes]

Could end up a cult figure

 

[Bianconeri]

Hopefully he’s ready by the time Naicos moves to the middle.

 

[Soups]

We delisted Caleb Poulter and then recruited his exact same player in Ryan...

May more tricks than Poulter had imo.

Apart from the mullet and he’s from SA he’s nothing like Poulter

 

[Daicosian silk]

We delisted Caleb Poulter and then recruited his exact same player in Ryan...

Yeah nah. Totally different players. Jakob has far more AFL traits imo

 

[Mollythedolly]

Way more contested than Poulter, particularly in his marking, and seems able to hit a target by foot. Not a lot in common really.

 

[Hyakutake]

Looks a likely type


That hair tho

It looks like some sort of alien creature took up residence on his head and just sort of stayed. I will waiting for the day it wakes up in a match and blinks.

replacement that we sadly lost all to soon to injury?

Welcome Jakob.

Rock on.

Yea much more like the defence version of Ollie Henry (with more mongrel) than Poulter who had no overhead ability.

 

[loki04]

Love it, first 2 picks we choose players with size, speed, aggression and an attacking mindset. Real fly type players to suit the game style.

Hopefully he does and they were just poor sample set of highlights in his original reels where they didnt show much of any of that^^.

May more tricks than Poulter had imo.

Most notably Ryans a lot better over head but doesn't run the lines as well or aggressive as Poulter did.

Poulter kick was more hit and miss.

Ryan is more stop and prop safety 20m side and backwards (His highlights reminded me of 2021 under buckley).

 

[loki04]

Has Hine found his Tom Langdon replacement that we sadly lost all to soon to injury?

Welcome Jakob.

Rock on.

Reckon Tom was more attacking but maybe Ryan's highlights are a poor representation of him as a player.

 

[Bianconeri]

If Tom was more attacking then I’m a little bit worried here.

 

[manicpie]

Are we sure he's happy to be a Pie

 

[KillerMagpies]

Welcome Jakob.

Think you’ll find a home down back… hopefully as an intercepting replacement for Howe in a year or two

Certainly an area of need with mid sized defenders in Wilson, Ruscoe… no certainty to be there beyond 2023

That hair has the potential to make him a cult hero!

He looks better than Ruscoe and Wilson.

 

[KillerMagpies]

I like the way this kid runs naturally with the chain of play.

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

Mr Horse...
Yes Sir....
I like it!

 

[Gone Critical]

Hopefully he’s ready by the time Naicos moves to the middle.

[Apples]

He’s quite tall and should fill out. You can just pick the SA boys even without being told.

That's an SA haircut if I've ever seen one. Straight to a Melbourne barber!

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

At 189cm and a “defender” I’m guessing he’s the Howe succession plan?
