I am getting sick and tired of clueless people on here constantly knocking Ryan ,He is /was in all Australian contention, I agree his marking is a real asset and constantly will win out in marks and stop the opposition, his kicks are quite penetrating, they do cover fair distances, he is very courageous , and has no fear ,very protective of his team mates.
OK stats don't always portray an exacting truth but Luke is always well credentialed in his game, has been very consistent.
He is no slouch and can cover the ground very quickly , he is elite in 4 of the 6 categories ,not many players have that result.
It's almost as if people don't want defenders who can actually defend.
I can't wrap my head around it either.

Hear hear, so much idiocy when it comes to Ryan, he's had a fantastic year.

Jackson ?
Serong easily. He's all but guaranteed squad and probably the only one that will be.
Not hears a single eastern states pundit mention Ryan or Jackson for AA. Jackson might get some attention if he can get in the top 15 coaches votes but I reckon its squad at best.

I love pulling out this screen shot every time the media discuss AA locks. No I don’t think he should be AA, it’s not secret that I really don’t rate him all that much, but I still love pulling it out and questioning why this player isn’t an AA lock. It’s amusing.

I've said it all year, it's Jackson
Doubt it. He'll be right up there in the coaches votes, but they're already pretty set on English being your AA ruck, and I doubt they're finding room for him on the bench. His numbers aren't all that impressive compartively because of all the different positions he plays, and we had no where near a good enough year for him to get a Blicavs type nod.
But most importantly, his surge has come quite late in the year, and they're probably already got 95% of the team locked in by this stage.

Whats going to happen is at the end of the year they are going to sit down and look at this site (AFLCA Champion Player of the Year - AFL Coaches Association Awards - AFL Coaches Association) and see Jackson has more coaches votes than any other KPP and they are going to look at the bench thinking
A) Freo were actually ok and they dont have one player
B) We dont like two rucks anymore and;
C) They are going to plonk in there the best
Yeah no he won't. Very similar stats/output to last year where he didn't even make top 10. He will make top 10 easily this year, mostly due to a host of other underperforming though, but the only player who would be close to challenging Serong is Jackson.
