Port went for Ware instead of Grundy or Kirkby.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

Port went for Ware instead of Grundy or Kirkby.

Yeah I agree, very suprising. I have watched him play a few games this year, and whilst he does some good things, I don't really rate him that highly.

I have a feeling Port would be spewing they missed out on Zantuck.

Who is Ryan Nye? Has anyone got any technical specifications on him (height, weight, position he plays, age, ect, ect) and did he train with the club over summer. Seems to be a bit of a waste if he hasn’t been training with us.

Ryan Nye
Details:
Club: Halls Head/Peel Thunder
DOB: 21 June 1986 Hgt: 181cm Wgt: 79kg
Position: Back Pocket
Natural Foot: Right

Honours:
Western Australia 2004
Back Pocket in WAFL Colts Team of the Year 2004
National Draft Camp 2004

Strengths: Nye is a no nonsense back pocket who is good at not only keeping his man in check but providing drive out of defence as well. He is a booming kick and was the designated kickout player for WA in the carnival.

Ryan reads the play well, has a good leap for his size and has good balance. He is very good at working his way to the front of the contest and has great courage. Can also kick on either side.

Weaknesses: Again, back pockets don't tend to be highly sort by AFL clubs. May not have the capacity to play midfield at AFL level, leaving a small defending role as his only option.

Footydraft.com comment: Had a good season in WA and goes about it the right way. Perhaps more likely to be a rookie list player, but could be worth a late selection in the draft.

Ok we need to remind ourselves to keep the faith in the choosing of the rookies, , but what really sucks, is I am a Double Blues fan in the SANFL, and the PAP Smears now have 3 of our younger players on their books!!! So I got to take an interest in them!!
