Thanks.

I don't have the X so will likely have to wait for the website to publish them.
Was hoping it would load the player.

The calls on so called fat bastard have not been warranted - consistently put his body on the line backing into packs which rattled his rib cage multiple times.
Are you saying actual on-field production should be the most relevant thing when judging a player? I know a really smart person who would disagree.

Won't get pulled into the body shape stuff, but one aera where I would like to see Ryan improve is taking riskier kicks. He almost always goes for the safe option nowadays but I reckon during his first two seasons he was one of our more aggressive rebounders from defence.

It's great to be on the internet where you can hang shit on your betters for no reason other than to feel like a hero.

Great work, you are a man amongst men.
He's never had a footballers body and never come back to any pre season in good shape. Why is it so hard to acknowledge that? Apparently all well and good calling out Nic Nat and Gov when they're overweight but worst thing in the world pointing out that Ryan has always had a tummy.

Possibly goes in the controversial non-football opinions section, but I could understand the desire to trade him....just couldn't understand why they accepted what they received in return.

Anyway back to preseason...
 
Large quantity of photos from training. Schmook on social media said we had over 30 players at training. Freddy and Chappy sporting crew cuts.

Brennen Heisenberg Cox.

Great to see Murphy putting on a bit more muscle. He's a big watch for me this preseason (the defender Murphy).

Freddie looks in ridiculous shape, he has clearly smashed it in the gym.

Ah so good to have pre season on. Awesome to see Mayne back amongst the group.

No one thinks he's Adonis mate. It is funny how you defended Darcy for being fat "as long as he made an impact".

Yet for all his flaws Ryan has 2 more AA blazers and stays on the park far more than him. He must be doing something right.

My biggest issue with him is his kicking which has little to do with his weight anyway, but he'll probably be doing less of that with McVee in the side

And I've never been hypocritical in my life lol

His 2024 AA was even worse than Battle's this year.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Ryan because he's fat. I dislike him because of that Sydney game where I had to watch him take the full 20 seconds to kick it straight back to Sydney about 30 times over. And then had to watch him do that for about 50 games since.

Calling a spade a spade gets bites though.
