[westking]

And all the very best to all the tinderonians. Maybe a new coterie group in making? tinder and onions and football players. Perfect money making machine. Its gonna replace pokies in the future.

Done it before with John Barnes. I think ppl need to get over themselves. Sure he screwed us, but I would be happy to embrace Paddy once again and welcome him back. Once again ppl need to get over themselves.

Yep, exactly. I couldn't are less if he is helping our football club to win games of football.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

He and Jacobs are the same age. Who’s body is in better condition?

 

[Hird05]

Happily bring him back

 

[TheGrizz]

Wow....

Bombers hope for Ryder return

Essendon has expressed strong interest in bringing Paddy Ryder back to the Dons, as the out-of-contract ruckman weighs up his future.

I am conflicted.

On the one hand he is a perfect fit for what we need as an experienced reserve ruck who can play forward.

On the other hand, a part of me cant get over how he left

Hasn't Jacobs stated he wants to stay at the Crows?

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

I named my dog Ryder so it’d be handy if he comes back simply so I don’t have to explain to people that I’m not a Port supporter.

Ryder and TBC will be sitting on the sidelines. What's the point really.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Is Ryder really worth the coin? We do need an experienced ruck as back up for TBell but not sure it’s worth paying through the nose for. Would rather funnel all possible funds into Coniglio.

If we land Coniglio, it'll be the start of another saga. This time the salary cap saga.

 

[Blind Turn]

I’m expecting the return of RIG to coincide with the acquisition of Ryder.

Talent wise he’s miles ahead of TBC and well who needs to compare to Zac Clarke, Snelling has more ability than Clarke in the ruck.

I’m more concerned about the state of his body and power in his legs to enable him to jump at the ball.

The only way we are getting Coniglio is if Daniher is offloaded. (I don’t think that would actually happen)

TBC will be the backup. We’re looking for a number 1 ruck to bridge between now and when Draper takes over, which can’t be Round 1 next year due to his knee.

What is it about Ryder and the eve of finals..

Can he come play this week?

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Alright I’m sold. How’s the body though and what would he cost us? Sauce Jacobs a cheaper/better option?

Coniglio?? Is that a thing?

 

[ghostdog]

Ryder mentoring Draper can also only lead to good things.

Yeah great idea. Maybe Ryder can teach Draper some of his Hindley St antics.

 

[Seb78]

Coniglio?? Is that a thing?

Wouldn't have thought so. Would need to find some cap space first. Bloke is a dead set gun, but do we really need another 180 odd cm player. Would much rather a Jacob Hopper type, would cost way less and would fill a need.

 

[Duckworth]

Can he come play this week?

No, but Port are OK with us giving him his new training program and a free BBQ.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Coniglio?? Is that a thing?

In a word - no.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Getting Ryder could be the last piece of the premiership puzzle

 

[Eleven 38]

Basically we need 1 more ruckman so we can get about 8-9 games out of the 3 of them. Surely ryder's body couldnt be worse than TBCs,
