A bit of a reach here, but no other forward in the country has been as consistent this season as Ryan. Expect at least five MotY awards over the coming years.

I, for one, am very happy with his selection.
I don't think we'll be too concerned about what number he was picked up in years to come.
Wouldn't be surprised if he lines up round 1 next year.
Cripps better look over his shoulder with Ryan and also Rioli pushing for selection.

 

[Biggie]

Welcome Ryan, I really, really hope you make it as AFL footballer.

Hopefully he'll get a better prize for his mark of the years than what NN apparently got.

Rioli-Ryan will be electric at the new stadium! Welcome.

 

[Sammy J]

Not gonna lie, am legit excited to see Nic Nat, Rioli and Ryan all in the same 22. That’s some electric shit right there.

 

[footballfreak]

The only selection that was spot on. Just hoping he doesn't have any homesick, work ethic , mental issues.

So stoked with this pick ! All the haters will eat words when Ryan and Rioli are snapping sausage rolls from forward pockets [emoji1362][emoji1362]

When did he shrink from 185cms to 179?.

 

[Bedi]

Reckon you guys have done very well here, and one of few draftees ready to go round one.

 

[Always Ballin]

If everything goes to plan, we could have the best FWD line in the league.

Weight of pressure from the West Coast BF board got to him already

 

[Patron]

Happy to get him but not so much at this pick, I reckon he was a reach and is a bit of a risk at 26.

 

[Avalor]

And add Petrucelle to that too. Exciting times, me thinks.

Cripps is done.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Cripps is done.

Nope.

Great reward for leaving Gero and having a crack at making a footy career .Welcome Liam

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Of all the things that have been written about him, the most baffling to me is that he's not going to put in the required effort and will be happy just going back to playing his footy for Subi. Based on what, exactly? He left Gero to come to Perth and have a crack at a career in footy. He didn't get drafted last year when many people thought he deserved to be selected, worked on some of his weaker areas (defensive pressure, endurance), went alcohol free and had a stellar year. That sounds a lot more to me like a guy who is dedicated to putting in the work than a guy who will just reach the top level and decide "nah, I don't need this."

Weight of pressure from the West Coast BF board got to him already

He'll be two feet tall be round one at this rate.

 

[Eaglespur]

But is he as good as Sampi was ?

 

[sydney eagle]

He'll be two feet tall be round one at this rate.

But will grow to ten feet tall when he has his first breakout game and kicks a motza !

 

[Dark Sharks]

Anyone else reminded of Dustin Martin when they watch him play?

A little, but his fend offs are with his feet and to peoples heads

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Can't quite predict how Ryan will end up tbh, but has the potential to be a huge star if he wants it enough, certainly has the talent. Still a bit worried about his issues last year, hopefully he's well past them, but also about him being goalless in this year's WAFL GF.

Getting from by the best midfield right
