From the afl site:

“Collingwood then jumped at No.28 to secure 199cm Glenelg backman Jakob Ryan, who had been a contender for first-round selection”

We’ve got our KPP!

Bloody random growth spurts!

Dekka also made that comparison

 

[cityslick1]

The kid instantly reminded me of an 80's metal band singer but couldn't figure out which one. Did a google image search the answer is all of them

Gotta be def leppard… with vince Neil and Brett Michaels sharing the podium.

 

[cityslick1]

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^^.


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).

Finally our Mayne replacement!

 

[cityslick1]

Welcome Jakob, and good luck!

Will track the Cowan v Ryan comparisons v closely. Obviously a great runner, though not overly quick. And not tall enough to play on any athletic or tall forwards.

Big fear being that we have again missed a gun by one pick, to go with Bont and Bolton. Weddle could be that man, touted by players as the best defender in the draft.

 

[Jechas]

was there any other club interested it seems he was only ever linked to us

On the pies website Hine did an interview after tonight's draft and he said they had a bunch of calls from other clubs wanting the pick. Safe to say other clubs rated him

Could’ve all been lining up for Cowan. Would have to take a straw poll to prove Derek’s narrative there

 

[PieBeast]

He looks fiery and is a good kick, that's enough for me to declare him a 2024 Normie winner.

 

[swoop42]

Depends on who the clubs were doing the calling.

Hine would have some idea who was also keen on him.

I had him also pegged for Vitas Gerulaitis

 

[loki04]

Better set of highlights then the other videos i watched, looks much better in that.

I reckon Hawks knew we were keen as they got in the pick before.

Very happy with Allen though so it hopefully all worked out in our favour.

Hopefully he’s the run and carry* version of Nathan Murphy; we all think he would be a massive reach in the first round, we perhaps unsurprisingly manage to get him at a later pick, he looks like a candidate to be delisted and then comes in and completely changes the way the backline functions, sending us on an 11-win streak and deep into finals!

*in fact his placeholder nickname is now Ryan Carry.

 

[Bramax]

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

The exact same thought had crossed my mind.

Let’s hope he keeps growing every year like Nathan Murphy and becomes a KPB.

 

[Bramax]

Early days but this kid’s highlights show he reads the play well and has good vision and the skills to spot up a teammate. Plays with some dash too which is good. Very promising.

Looks a beautiful kick.

[Mkcaptain]

For me Ruscoe comparisons are more apt than Poulter, but with a bit more forward run

 

[Soups]

People can disagree but it looks to me with Ryan’s kicking he draws the player to the ball. Also arches his back when he puts the foot down, not too dissimilar to another young gun we have on our list

 

[Bramax]

Looks a beautiful kick.

And seems to have good vision and decision making to pick the right targets.
