Welcome to the Bulldogs Kelsey Rypstra

What a Rypper.

Kelsey Rypstra (North Adelaide)
Small Forward | 173cm | 02/05/2004

2024 averages: 5 games | 10.6 disposals, 3.4 tackles, 3.6 inside 50s

Playing his first season of senior football, Rypstra started out with two games in North Adelaide’s Reserves but has been a League mainstay ever since. While a relatively low-output type, the diminutive talent has great agility and a keen eye for goal. Rypstra is creative with ball in hand and can apply defensive pressure, plying his trade in one of the toughest roles in football.

Well this probably doesn't send the nicest message to our stalwart VFL lads but there'll be a reason

edit: nice highlights

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Looks fast and agile

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Don’t look at his instagram if you are a miserable old twat like myself. Found myself really disliking the guy which is probably a tad unfair.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Good pick - definitely has the attributes we are after. Absolute ripper name too.

Wouldn't even know how.
He has a great speed/endurance combo so is a great like for like replacement.

 

[Wizard17]

Like the pick, we really needed a crumbling small forward who can create

 

[Dazb86]

Hopefully he's quick

Just had a squizz. You're a very harsh critic, nothing offensive on there. Just a young guy posting some shitty photos with mates.

If that means he's a punchable up-himself campaigner I can live with it. As long as he's OUR punchable up-himself campaigner.

Every list needs its decent share of those types. We've been too nice for too long.

Welcome aboard KR.

 

[BrisDog]

Nice highlights. He does look quick. I wonder if that sprint out of congestion was pre ACL?

He didn’t do an ACL he broke his leg. And no, that was from this year.

 

[Testekill]

First ever MSD pick that we didn't take from Footscray.

Haha, why?

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

173 cm. He’s 2 cm taller than Nick Watson and Caleb.

 

[Munnez]

Direct O'Driscoll replacement like it we need a quick small forward who can crumb. Looks pretty quick so could bring good defensive pressure as well. Go well young man!

 

[St 07]

He didn’t do an ACL he broke his leg. And no, that was from this year.

Far out, Jake Stringer territory with that one. Impressive speed and agility considering!

 

[dergert]

He didn’t do an ACL he broke his leg. And no, that was from this year.

Oh really? A few articles are running with the knee injury.

Good luck to the fella. Pleasantly surprised.

 

[Angak]

So glad we didn't go for another Footscray player because it was the easy & convenient option.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Twomey said his tank is elite.

Might play sooner rather than later.

This is what was said about the lad on the AFL website

8. Western Bulldogs - Kelsey Rypstra​

North Adelaide SANFL
Small forward
173cm
2/5/04

The small forward is a busy player inside-50, who is constantly looking for ways to pepper the target. Rypstra has emerged at North Adelaide through his crumbing work and his inventive footy IQ, which consistently sees him setting up teammates close to goal. He's only kicked three majors from his first five games in the SANFL season, but has shown the traits of improving on his production in the future. He can also work hard up the ground, where he's proven himself a good overhead mark for his size and has impressed clubs with his speed and aerobic capacity in transition.

 

[BrisDog]

He didn’t do an ACL he broke his leg. And no, that was from this year.

All the brief mentions of injury seem to reflect a knee injury. I guess a broken leg close to the knee could be a ‘knee injury’? Buggered if I know.

For what? Taking a few photos with his mates?
