[TradeDraft]

Here I am posting in the Ed Allen thread about not recruiting a 188cm rangy flanker from South Australia.... and here we have him! At least the recruiting teams picked a right-footer this time.
Welcome young fella.

Young interviewer better than most adults.
Jakob seems a nice guy.

I have seen this kid interviewing in the past. He never seems to grow older. Does quite a good job with what I assume are questions prepared by others for him.

Should be Howe MkII with a bit of Crispy run and carry thrown in, and the ability to kick the ball a long, long way.

This video was posted on the AFL website two months ago and the some of the full champs games were there as well. Had no idea why you were banging on about him being some safe, stagnant defensive player, he's not that at all. He's a run and carry player within attacking mindset, we wouldn't have got him otherwise I suspect.

Because there were 2 other videos posted of him that were nothing like that which I happened to see first didn't bother with a 3rd till after he was drafted.

I think Grueweski could be a proper Howe MkII.

Not sure I've seen Ryan taking screamers in any footage. Maybe a more skinny Vlaustin.

I liked how he wants to stay involved in the play, running forward after he's disposed of the ball.
His kicks find the target too - he seems to know where to place the ball to his teammate's advantage.
Welcome Jakob!

I have no doubt all recruiters have a type of player they like and keep returning to the latest reincarnation of them in any one draft.

From the highlights of Ryan I see a bit of Scharenberg, a bit of Langdon and while I don't think he'll ever be sitting on heads like Howe, Howe himself would have elements of his game reminiscent of those mentioned.

Not to mention, before he has even set food on Victorian soil, a 'big upgrade on Henry' from someone. I have already put him down to debut round 1, force Howe out of the side by mid year, and play a minimum uninterrupted 300 games for us.

Good upgrade on Henry

Well yes, considering henry is gone

 

[Toecrusher]

I like the look of all three recruits. They all seem more likely to play in 2023 than some of our speculative, or raw recruits of the past.

Jakob in particular, I think will get plenty of games in 2023. Looks like a good addition to our 2023 premiership lineup.

Not according to Hine he isn't. He's a Nick Haynes clone.

I do love an understated approach . . .

He looks like something out of Star Wars.

I can picture Ryan developing into a damaging wingman.
IQ & Buzzer as generals off both back flanks.
