I'm not great at interpreting things but I'm pretty sure he's saying he's cooked.

Cooked as in he doesn't want anyone else jumping on him with his price the lowest it will be all season ??I'm not great at interpreting things but I'm pretty sure he's saying he's cooked.
I watched his first 33 disposal game and his disposal was well off what it used to be. He was much more fumbly as well, which he also was tonight. Since his 33 disposal game, he's had his two lowest scores since 2015.
I've written him off but each to their own.

Interesting position to be in this week.
For all of us, cash generation isn't great because all the rookies are useless.
Right now, i'll look to bring in Spencer for pure cash generation purpose, also looking at Heater and Hanners/JPK as cheepies to pick up.
Pickett can GAGF
I love Ruffy, but I need him to kick a bag this week to save himself
and Horse needs to be bitch slapped and bring back Newman and Fox

Marchbank hasn't mooed! Sweet!
Probably time to ditch crab Pickett now.

Depends. Newman pissed me off but Marchbank, Otten, Hampton and Stewart still ticking over.
SPS, Parfitt too.
Probably have to drop Hannan this week too.
If I can get $100k out of both Hannan and Pickett I'll be rapt relatively speaking. Gives me $170k to upgrade Marchbank into a premo Rd7.

At least he didn't do the Menadue "bait 'n switch" playing like a stud rounds 1 and 2 followed by 3 months of mediocrity. Pickett's stunk from the first minute of R1.

Can anyone remember the rookie last year that went thru a spud period, with most trading out ..... only to come back with some big scores ?
Was a midfielder IIRC ?

Yeah I knew 80s would be his floor, but had some unrealistic expectation that he would push it to the 90s.
Only selected him so I had cover in case Sandi went down. But moving Nank to my fwd and being able to bring in Spencer means that Ryder is on borrowed time atm.

Yes you have the coverage .... I traded Ryder out rather than have coverage ....that's how I rated Ryder's performance - playing well but not scoring ???
Upgraded him to NRoo

No Menapoo never came back .... have a feeling it was a Collingwood player ..... memory is fading
Edit: no it wasn't a midfielder, it was the Collingwood defender HBF ???

Hampton -> Fisher, and Witts -> Goldy
Jumping on Goldy, he is never going to be this cheap again.

I think it's the way he plays tbh.
He's a good tap ruckman but does hardly anything around the ground (take contested marks, kick goals, tackle etc).
Compare that with Nank, who is pretty ordinary in the ruck but does so much extra.
The scoring change which has negated hit outs to a certain extent has done Ryder no favours.

certainly next year, he could be a viable option as i see him just getting used to the pace of the game again.
this year was a mistake getting him

I agree with your summation ..... what I don't get is around the ground was supposedly a strength of Ryder's ? ..... or has he gotten lazy or lead legs after a year off ?

We've all looked traditionally at $117k rookies for cash generation .... this year we may need to be inventive in cash generation by simply playing the share market with players of all $$$$value
Sell high, buy low .....

He does look lazy, I won't lie
I only saw him in the forward line for the final 10 minutes last night, and Hinkley probably just said "send him forward so he can get a goal". For 90% of the game he was either waiting for ball ups or on the bench
It's almost as if Hinkley has told him to just focus on his ruck work and nothing else.

I'd sell my soul for a donu......rookie that can be better than ordinary.
