Samson Ryan

theyll use samson ryan to stop them them? makes sense actually.

Samson Ryan

They can't kick any goals if they're being kept out of the team by this stud

 

[Barnzy]

When I went back and watched all of their junior stuff again I thought Sims had the most potential on what I saw with Armstrong pretty close. Faull I had the most question marks on. Nothing I've seen has changed my mind.

Sims has the height, leap and pack mark ability to be the focal point that the other two just don't have. He is the Lynch replacement. He's going to take a lot of pressure off the other two up forward to not need to play out of their depth size wise and play to their strengths.

 

[LC_15]

Armstrong and sims seem the most likely atm. If hotton is as good or better than we recruited our forward line for the next 12 years.

 

[Football Tragic]

Sims gives us a great aerial threat, even in thick congestion, and is a great future second ruck. Armstrong is a more traditional lead up forward who would be great half forward. Faull is your play maker, that makes everyone else better with his work rate and aggression.

All of them have their role. All of them compliment each other in the forwardline.

 

[Tiger1974]

Cleary being set up to be a forward who can chop out in the ruck. I mean he is doing it now in his first couple of games. So unlikely he will be a stand alone forward like Lynch (who doesn't ruck around the ground).

 

[Wavvey]

Massive responsibility tonight to play the Lynch role and just crash packs all night at his age and experience. Looking forward to watching him go at it.

 

[TigerCanMan]

Looking very very promising going by the first half

 

[juss]

He's basically a young Tom Lynch, but more athletic.

 

[DustinsGuns]

He's the most likely of our young forwards. Hasn't kicked the goals, but he just looks the part.

 

[TigerTime88]

He's the most likely of our young forwards. Hasn't kicked the goals, but he just looks the part.

Can take a contested mark.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Rising star for sure

 

[Bojangles17]

He's the most likely of our young forwards. Hasn't kicked the goals, but he just looks the part.

Reads it nicely in the air and looks like he will be a big strong brute , playing on ball will be great for his development too . Like what I’m seeing ,,,,oh and I tipped this

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

He's the most likely of our young forwards. Hasn't kicked the goals, but he just looks the part.

They’ll all should make it as they play differing roles .
Sims may well became the next generational ruckman / forward.

 

[tiger_tough]

Rising star for sure

Don't be ridiculous. Some 21 year old, 3rd year mid from a top 4 team who got 21 touches will get it.

 

[tiger_tough]

Geez hes an exciting prospect. That set shot routine though

 

[tunksy]

Very promising signs. Love his marking generally uses it very well

 

[of unsound mind]

When I went back and watched all of their junior stuff again I thought Sims had the most potential on what I saw with Armstrong pretty close. Faull I had the most question marks on. Nothing I've seen has changed my mind.

Yep, I was pointing him out before the draft and stoked we picked him. Not as consistently well performed as a couple of the other talls, but just loved the way he’d leap at the ball and take it at a high point. I reckon he has a frame that will put on size and strength. When he gets confidence from that he could be really something.

 

[Football Tragic]

Could be the best of the lot. Just needs to work on his set shots.

 

[richoplzbreed]

Might as well sack Colina and Samson EOY. Barring injury or fatigue they need to fast track him to 50 games. His contested marking was the highlight today. If we land Cooper Duffman we might be able to sew up our rucks for the next 15 years. He moves so well for someone so tall. Seeing him mark down the line today so self assured reminded me of Max Gawn

. Can't wait to see him really start hitting the scoreboard next. We've got an absolute beauty in Sims!!!!! Shown more in a few games than Samson and Colina have in a combined 11 years

 

[tiger_tough]

Funniest thing is that hes going to be better than Whitlock. Norf traded up for the wrong bloke

 

[fargothegreat]

I wonder how many first year tall forwards take 3 contested marks in a game?

 

[tigs2010]

Rising star for sure

Another campaigner getting it over Trainor. Amirite?

As you can see we go sims with a late 20s pick, I wouldnt be wasting any of our two first on a ruck
