Knew I would miss someone.
Dead set think he could make a massive impact in our team next year if he can get out on the park. Is no world beater but he could kick 30-40 goals.

Liam from the academy.Who ?
Zac?
We need anyone who can kick goals really
IMO Mayes is more a small forward,Staker is shot and Paine doesn't look like making the level required. Paparone i guess is a third tall,but seems to play more as a roving tall wingman. My point was more just that we should be looking at anyone that can take a mark in the forward 50 and kick goals.Mayes
Paparone
Staker
Dawson
Paine
Did he say anything else?John Ralph when asked for his gut feel on Ryder by Ed & Derm stated 'I think he still goes to Brisbane', for what it is worth.
no I don't think so. 30-40 goals is a huge ask for anyone in their first season especially being in a poor side like us. I think he will get 10 games next season and may snag a goal a game if played forward at best. Will need some time in the gym and a bit more work on his decision making. He reminds me a bit of a Hawks player who I can't seem to remember his name. One of their forwards/midfielders.Dead set think he could make a massive impact in our team next year if he can get out on the park. Is no world beater but he could kick 30-40 goals.

From reading a lot of articles about Ryder in the last few weeks, I get the feeling the Herald Sun/Jay Clark is a step behind in proceedings.
BRISBANE has emphatically ruled out using the prized No. 4 draft pick in any trade to get ruckman Paddy Ryder.
Ryder dropped a bombshell on Essendon on Friday night when he said he wanted out of the club, leaving the Lions, Port Adelaide and GWS in the running for his signature.
Ryder can leave the Bombers through a trade or by activating a get-out clause in his contract that could be triggered by the supplements saga
It is understood he wants to be traded so the Bombers get something in return. Essendon would want a first-round draft pick plus a player in exchange for Ryder.
Brisbane will not be offering their top pick at November’s draft, should Ryder opt to join the Lions.
“It’s (the No. 4 draft pick) not on the table, not at all,’’ Brisbane CEO Greg Swann said.
“We are waiting for Paddy to make his decision. If he chooses us as his preferred club, it is up to us to start negotiations with Essendon about a trade.
“But pick four won’t be a part of it.’’
Ryder — who spent a few days in Brisbane last week — met with Port Adelaide officials in Melbourne on Friday night.
Totally agree. We need anyone who has proven to kick 30-40 goals a season. I hope we get Jeff Garlett and make Zorko a permanent midfielder like what port did with Robbie Gray.no I don't think so. 30-40 goals is a huge ask for anyone in their first season especially being in a poor side like us. I think he will get 10 games next season and may snag a goal a game if played forward at best. Will need some time in the gym and a bit more work on his decision making. He reminds me a bit of a Hawks player who I can't seem to remember his name. One of their forwards/midfielders.

Polkinghorne or PSDIf Paddy picks us Essendon will have to deal with what we give them. I like that. Glad they're not getting pick 4/5

I understand where you are coming from, but I would not trade out ready mature players Leuy or Golby. That trade would only strengthen Essendon. Imagine if Leuy and Golby get their bodies right and play a full season in 2015. We would end up the losers. I would just offer our pick 23 and maybe add Jackson Paine, as a sweetener.I think we should aim to keep our first 2 picks and offer Luey and Golby.
A little cold I know but they may get more opportunities else where.
Good to see some reassurance that we are not giving up pick 4. This should be a reality check for the Essendon club and fans that we are not giving them a high pick and a quality player. Hopefully they have come down to earth.
If you have been paying attention at all lately you would have realised that being divorced from reality is a prerequisite for being an Essendon supporter
