Player Watch #32 Samson Ryan

[wegetpumped]

Not a fan but i so so so want to be.

Remember that one year Tyrone Vickery came out and played like he belonged, and we all thought "What the hell?"

Need the baby giraffe to do the same

Yes and then Clarko can come take him off our hands.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

He is nowhere near dynamic enough to be any sort of AFL forward. He just needs to keep building his strenth & stamina to see if he can fulfil a role as a ruck or back-up ruck.

Still just charges at the ball with his arms straight up or stands there with his arms straight up. His marking technique is just all wrong.

Yep needs to fix that or the club will be in the market for best avnailable mature ruck very shortly.

Reckon Sims has already passed him.

 

[Wrenny]

3 more ****ing years

 

[guruisatiger]

Might go into a 3 year coma

Long way to go this season, was just a practice match.

 

[Greggy]

If he could mark the ball in the air he’d be on track, sadly he shows no signs of that.

 

[Tackle Bag]

This bloke needs nothing but high balls kicked to him on repeat till he learns how to hold marks above his head.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Can he hold onto a mark yet?

No, No he can’t

Just amputate those hands, ****ing useless on him

Unfair on this guy we got him on the cheap for potential unfortunately he has none all he has is size and a funny mom. Les give him a break like I said cheap investment which was never going to work but who ever gave him 3 years needs the firing squad.

 

[beema limapep]

Claps at the ball and drops it 99% of the time.

And there are no second efforts including running to space or applying pressure. Just stands there with his feet planted, watching the opposition.

It’s like he is just learning the game, except he’s been in the system for years. Total bust, but you get what you pay for I guess.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Hopefully it was his last game for the Tigs at a senior level.
Usless.
We'd be better off with Short in the ruck

 

[BF Tiger]

Let’s face it… got drafted because he is tall, and that helped him dominate the other boys in underage footy. Now he’s up against men and it’s a different story.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

His dukes ain't duking

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Whoever signed him on that long term contract needs to be sacked.
A total waste of space.

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Thoughts on your boy Karp3_dm ?

 

[voorhees]

Man needs a major rocket, a total talk down.
that bloody contract has made him far to comfortable.
pick it up or your playing the season on cold suburban VFL grounds!

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Plays like a newborn giraffe

Hi

 

[tiger_tough]

The frustrating thing is that he can take a mark and his 2nd efforts are much better in the VFL. Not sure why he can't do it at the top level. I think it's mostly confidence.

 

[ROYCY HART A TRUE CHF]

I recall a person in the know @ the QLD academy making the comment that Ryan was known as dinner plates hands prior to the draft. How does a tall who obviously can't mark get recruited in the first place?
What did his draft bio say ?

 

[Masotiger]

No doubt.

But being tall isn't enough.

I want aggression, mongrel, willingness to hurt your opponent from our big men. This dud has none.

Whoever named him Samson got that totally wrong!!

 

[Grockadoc]

Do the AFL still allow players to wear gloves? Surely Samson should look into this. Any slight advantage he can get in a marking contestbwould be worth it given his career is hanging by a thread...
