He'll absolutely tear it up for you blokes mark my word.
We wrecked his development throwing him all over the park. He says as much in the interview above.
Steal of the decade at pick 52.
That’s assuming we don’t also wreck his development by throwing him all over the park.He'll absolutely tear it up for you blokes mark my word.

You guys taking 52 off us, is the real steal.
52 is already a bargain for the EaglesYou'll be eating those words soon enough.

It's all going to plan - Rioli and SPS forward with Ryan going to the back line. A player with some balls to break the lines and use the corridor.
I'd rather make our transition from backline to the forward line the worst in the league to one of the best and back in our other 2 AA forwards and maybe get one of our many AA midfielders to make up for the 1.5 goals per game that Ryan kicks.Would rather keep an AA forward in the forward line and back Foley and Witherden down back doing that.
And Hurn if his old man legs hold up for one more season.
It's true we need some run and carry out of our backline.I'd rather make our transition from backline to the forward line the worst in the league to one of the best and back in our other 2 AA forwards and maybe get one of our many AA midfielders to make up for the 1.5 goals per game that Ryan kicks.
Yeah nah. Any way Shuey should be rotating between back flank and midfieldI'd rather make our transition from backline to the forward line the worst in the league to one of the best and back in our other 2 AA forwards and maybe get one of our many AA midfielders to make up for the 1.5 goals per game that Ryan kicks.
It's true we need some run and carry out of our backline.
But you don't move gun forwards to defense.
This is why I’m big on Boots as a defender. He has footy smarts in spades and has the pace and footskills to open the game up.And funnily, our run and carry from the backline looked pretty good late in games against Richmond and Melbourne.
Which shows it is gameplan more than personnel.
Creativity is pretty much wasted in the backline. Speed of ball movement is vital, but unless you can kick like Jetta all the creativity in the world won't be able to open up a heap of space. When we move the ball fast, handball to runners (and actually run) and look to attack - we look a much better team (or more competitive at least).
Leave Ryan up forward to terrorise defences with Rioli, SPS even JJ (if he can squeeze into the lineup). Cripps as the defensive forward, Darling, JK, Allen as the kpp's.
Like most of the areas of the ground, it looks fantastic on paper - but will the gameplan and effort be there next year to execute.
Ryan hasn’t got a defensive bone in his body and is the textbook definition of a natural forward. He has no business playing in defence

If he was playing as a defender, he'd jump on someone's shoulders to take intercept mark of the year. Then he'd land, turn the wrong way to the wrong goal and slot it.Ryan hasn’t got a defensive bone in his body and is the textbook definition of a natural forward.

Yes Tbh we have recovered from losing Scotty lycett. If we Abel to hold on time him all our ruck problems would have been sold.Just another reason for WCE fans to love the Hickster.
Like Petrie, he's just a likeable figure who was traded in and only played for a short period of time.

That was 4 years ago nowPersonally wasn’t big on Hickey. Had maybe 1-3 good games for us but was meh. Vardy copped a lot of hate but had a decent first season and stood up when Nic Nat went down.
Vardy was really solid form his arrival until the end of 2018. I have no idea what happened, but he was complete garbage for the next three seasons.That was 4 years ago now
