How's Ranga Looking?

[keen cats fella]

I had very high hopes for Ranga last year when we we're looking at him and what not. Obviously, he wasn't going to come on the seen straight away and this was seen when we rookie listed him.
He's had his hammy issues this year, but what sort of player are we expecting?
Will he make it? And if so, who is he similar to?

Whether he makes it will depend on how well he comes back from his hammy, it has set him back 12-18 months.

I haven't seen him play. What round was it in the Vfl that he injured himself?

haha saw the title and thought it was about Lingy.

I had forgotten that we haven't seen Ranga.

Hmm so he missed the entire year Disappointing and that really is a massive set back. Well i will be eagerly looking forward to watching him next year to see what he has to offer.

 

[SriLankanCat]

I guess theCats knew about his injury risks that is why we didnt offer him a spot on the main list

hjope he comes back good and strong next year

I thought it was time to bump this thread now that Ranga has played his first game back.

Has heaps of talent, and is also quite a nice kid, everyone speaks of him highly.

Here's him speaking after his return game:

“It was great just to play football again, just the enjoyment of it, ” Ediriwickrama said of his Geelong debut.

“You sort of forget the little things, like being tired at the end of the game, the satisfaction of being in the company of your mates after the match, singing the song.

“At the end of the day it is those little things that you miss the most.”

Kid's a champion.

Lets hope we can get Mitch Brown back as well in a few weeks and all will be looking up for the 2s.

Hopefully he doesn't develop bad habits and start calling for runners all the time like our other SriLankan 'Runga' friend.

Yes it was quite funny watching Amos on the weekly VFL video try and say Runga (he made a good fist of it too )
