So Ryder’s kid is now ok after the drugzz and all?
How quickly people forget this guy and his manager dropped a bombshell about wanting out the week of our last final, refused to go anywhere but Port, had his training programme in place before any deal was done and basically put us over a barrel.
Sorry Paddy, you wanted Port and all the success they were going to achieve, how’s that going for you?
I’m pretty sure many of players won’t have him back.
There’s other ruck options.
By all reports, the ASAGA was not the primary reason he (or rather Mrs Ryder) wanted out of EssendonHave you forgot what the club did to him?
Give the guy a break, you can’t blame anyone for wanting to leave.
Anyway if he is the best gettable option for next 2 years we should give it serious thought.
They've only offered him a year and he hasn't played as many games as he could have this season. If he's that good they should do more to keep himThe concern for me is that Port and Paddy’s management would probably assess his worth as ‘All Australian Ruckman Paddy Ryder’ and not ‘31 year old spent force and battling for his spot in a side that’s not in finals contention Paddy Ryder’.
It’s all contingent on the contract he wants and the role he’s willing to play.
I’d be happy to offer him that extra year of security for slightly less annual pay, because that’s often the sticking point with guys over 30. Worst comes to worst he breaks down and we are able to look at replacements in the mid season draft.
Port have offered him stuff all. I wouldn’t say the ball is in his court, he’ll have to take whatever may be offered by a club wanting a washed up 32yr old.The concern for me is that Port and Paddy’s management would probably assess his worth as ‘All Australian Ruckman Paddy Ryder’ and not ‘31 year old spent force and battling for his spot in a side that’s not in finals contention Paddy Ryder’.

I've floated the idea of trading Hurley and I will never do it again. 1000 hail mary's for me to repent.
He can get f’ed. Made his beds. He can ******* lie in them now. I'd be both shocked and disgusted if he was welcomed back. Find Nial's piece hard to believe.
Besides the fact he's cooked.
He did look very good Saturday night. I still think if the offer of a Hopper, Taranto, Kelly or such became available i would consider it. We'd lose our best defender, but pick up an elite mid in the process. At the very least if there is one area we can afford to lose our best, it's the backline. Which is why the talk around Daniher, Raz and Tippa has me uneasy.I've floated the idea of trading Hurley and I will never do it again. 1000 hail mary's for me to repent.
Was thinking about this last night. If the idea is that we need a #1 while Draper has 2020 off recovering, Goldstein is a good optionWould rather Ceglar.
In all honesty I wouldn't be opposed to putting a 3 year deal in front of Todd Goldstein and see if he'll bite. He's arguably the in form ruckman of the comp right now running out the season as well as Grundy or Gawn. He's played 2 full seasons in a row now. Would love to see what our mids could do with a consistent reliable ruck.
