Bit surprised with this selection after we took Tucker earlier but we wish him well.
Smooth mover and nice kicking action, and a lefty. Fingers crossed there is method in the madness but the age profile seems a bit mysterious with the rest of the squad.
So I wasn’t dreaming of that MM stare at the Bullants huddle at Genis oval a few weeks back.

200cm key forward!

We're into the relatives of Freo players at the moment hey?

I'm a big believer and think it's a very smart selection.
I took note of him in the Box Hill game, where although he was well held his movement up the ground was constantly threatening. Went back and watched his games. He's a late developer so has upside. 200cm with great mobility and good marking. He has skinny arms but doesn't get moved off the ball easily, reminiscent of the King brothers. His kicking is reliable enough that he can be a link man higher up the ground.
In terms of knocks, he can have quiet periods and is very gangly. His age is also perfectly fine but as a project player perhaps a bit old for our demographic.
It's a perfect low risk, high reward selection. A full preseason with some conditioning and we could have a dangerous partner for Mitchell Lewis. At minimum, he's valuable depth in an area we will likely get thinner at the end of the season.
Best of luck Ryan!

Yep the more I think about it, we might see him pretty quickly with an opportunity to impress
probably picked to be a Key forward that can ruck a bit

He has some good speed and agility for a man his size. Box hill are going to destroy teams for the remainder of the season, RamaRyan are going to be kicking big bags.

Will he be around for pre-season?
Aren't the contracts just 6 months?

I don't know the terms of his contract but I doubt we'd sign him for only 6 months. and if so would immediately give him another year. Every one of midseason draftees have been given at least one full preseason.

Rama & Ryan are an interesting pair. Both unnaturally good below their knees & very agile for such tall timber.
Ryan seems the more gawky type who does freakish things; Ramsden, seemingly 'smoother', is just a freak.
They'll do some damage at Box Hill, for starters.

I'm not worried about his age. Is in the window for our next flag in 3-4 years!
I'm.on board too. Seems to have an uncanny trait too of marking when out of position. Gangly and unpredictable which is great. I just wonder whether we see him as a CHB. If he can cover the ground well enough and read the pill in the air he might be a chance. Nice left too.

Hardly gets beaten in the air and holds his ground really well. Stronger than he looks as well.

From Mid-season draft prospect with ‘Jeremy Cameron’ qualities suspended
Bullants coach Brodie Holland, who played 155 games for Fremantle and Collingwood, said Ryan had almost certainly played his last game, certainly for this season, with his side, given the mid-season draft interest in him.
“It’s disappointing because he’s never been reported or suspended, and is very quiet by nature and not aggressive in any shape or form,” Holland told Money Talks of the ban.
Holland believes Ryan, who he recruited from Maribyrnong Park, warrants being the first player taken in the mid-season draft – and he would be “stunned” if he wasn’t on an AFL club list for the second half of the year.
“He’s mobile for a player of his size, and I’ve seen him pick the ball up off his ankles a couple of times,” he said.
“I’ve even seen him, a bit Jeremy Cameron-style, wheel around and hit targets from 50 metres. He’s a unique player, and in the modern game where clubs are looking for taller players with longer levers – he could be that type of player.”

This is an interesting pick up. It's a short-term low-risk project player that could have massive rewards. From the footage he reads the ball really well and is very good overhead. Wish him all the best.
Also, always nice to see his a very proud parent (in this case his father) on the Hawks facebook post in the comments.
