Traded #30: Patrick Ryder - Returns to the club as Indigenous Player Development Manager

[The Dustbin]

Geez I would've hated to see how much Connors would be demanding if Paddy made the AA squad.

 

[The Dustbin]

Brisbane and Connors must be confident of a positive outcome from the supplements saga. Alternatively, it could potentially blow up in their face.

Barbecue eh? We're really rolling out the big guns. Sausages and bread! Your move Bombers!

Mick Malthouse privately seething

 

[Don Won]

Interesting. Explain to me how our players male genetic code (jizz) is effected by these reported drugs? And if you think after 24 months we give a toss about dribble fed supporters from other clubs feel...

Fact is if you value him pay for him, he's not walking out for free

 

[Philzsay]

Hopefully there is only salad at this BBQ....

I knew that sausages poster on our board was up to something.

That explains why you needed that money this week, greasy Swanny is buying the fancy Heston snags not the mystery bag coles ones

Reports in from the bbq, Ryder enjoyed his Medium-Rare steak with a mushroom sauce and leppas secret weapon, home made chippies, 5 year contract that involves BBQ's once a week.

Hopefully XXXX beer, no way he'll move to QLD to drink that piss

 

[DonsRule]

Reports suggesting the pre game lion is in attendence at the BBQ.

I'll laugh so *ing hard if Port get him.



Wines/Wingard or GTFO

I'm going to go against popular opinion in here and say that the club is going to fold like a house of cards on this. And then my head will explode from rage.

[Is Don Is Good]

I'd be more worried about Ryder leaving if the frontrunner wasn't Brisbane. They've got Leuenberger and Stefan Martin (who generally only plays well when he's the sole ruckman). Ryder's shown in several games that he's at his best when he plays mainly in the ruck and pushes forward on occasions rather than try to play solely as a key forward. Plus this is a Brisbane that were 1 win and 8 losses going into the bye this year (with their win a 3 pt win over Saints).

It all sounds like his manager is trying to get him an expensive contract extension and a media pack loving being able to talk about Essendon some more.

If he does go to Brisbane, then I'll just feel bad that he won't get to play to his full potential. He'll be this average forward, instead of the (close to) All Australian ruckman that he's capable of being.

 

[MALTSY]

I'll laugh so ruddy hard if Port get him.



Wines/Wingard or GTFO

Your'e dreaming mate

 

[Lance Uppercut]

at least if he goes to Brisbane we're not strengthening a rival. They are still a long way behind us

 

[BomberFan355]

Like Port were two years ago...

Quoted for brilliance.

 

[JohnnyDrama1]

Hopefully big Jono Brown isn't cookin' the snags or he is well gone

Dead right, he'd take Port or GCS to the next level.

Whats this about a bbq? That link didnt work for me.

 

[yaco55]

Love the bit in the article where it states Ryder may lose 200K if he doesn't activate the clause.

I find the whole scene distasteful, in which a contracted player, who is wanted and much loved is publically hawking his services to other clubs.

It sickens me !
