I have a lot of faith with our recruiters but I really wonder what we see in Ryan.

His career has imo been quite underwhelming and made to look better than his day-to-day by some exceptional highlights. Plus we paid a (edit) second and pick swaps for Liam Henry a couple of years ago to come across and do a very similar role?

If Ryan is on modest coin and can be a mentor and move into the kind of elder role that's great, but I would hope the trade capital is absolutely minimal.

Henry was traded for a second rounder and a swap of fourth rounders.

Battle announced he was out on August 28th last year, just after round 23. I imagine it'll be the same with TDK.

I think you are hugely underrating Ryan. He's not giong to look good at a team as dysfunctional at the Eagles but his numbers are solid. If we can get King back out there next year with Sharman and Owens as foils (and maybe Dodson) a crumbing unit of Ryan and Higgins could be lethal.

Throw in the fact that Ryan and Hall can move in and out of the midfield and we look a fair bit more dynamic.

To be fair, they’ve only won 11 games in 4 seasons… out of 79, soon to be 80 games played.

Ehh, so does Max Hall, having statistically almost as good a season as Ryan in a very similar role and five years younger (but maybe we want to move Hally into the midfield).

I just found it odd we'd be setting this up given the Henry trade but Punter already corrected me that the draft capital for that trade was a lot lower than I thought so meh.

Max Hall is a high half forward

Ryan is a forward pocket

They are incomparable in terms of role imo

A better comparison would be Wilson's forward role which he's been useless at when played there this year (i think he ends up a gun wing/inside mid in the future)

I'm not really enamored with the Ryan rumour... he was an absolute gun at his best but at (almost) 29, injuries are a worry as is the cost of getting a contracted player in.

I'm absolutely 100% against it if it involves Lancey Boy. Would be very surprising after Ross' comments about Lance earlier this year ('He'll be one of the best small forwards in the league').
 
Lelz Tom Morris.


There's a fight you'd pay money to see.

Morris v Cleary

Morris with 47 in his corner all holding pumps to massively inflate that ego, Cleary with a guy with a clipboard.
Will Faulkner on the ground convulsing after trying to dig to Adelaide.
 
Liam Ryan is a great player, assuming he doesn’t cost heaps in a trade.. I’m very keen.

Another player that puts bums on seats.
