Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn : MSD Pick 12, Brandon Ryan, debuts!

[GinniAndTonic]

Is he playing VFL for box hill this week?

Nah I think he’s still suspended for another 2 weeks.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Podsiadly and Stewart spring to mind.

Podsiadly retired at 32. Stewart is 30, though he could be one that plays well into his 30's

He retired in 2015 which was the year he would have turned 34 in September. However I don’t believe he played AFL for the Crows in his final year.

style player.

We don’t need a world beater up forward. Just someone to help Take some heat and pressure off Lewis

He’s an aerial threat, and that’s what we need.

 

[Brishawk]

Is "could be anything" the most overused phrase on BigFooty?

Anthying can include everyone from Jason dunstall to Lawrence angwin. So technically it’s a negative prediction, I guess

 

[Brishawk]

Which mature ages have gone well into their 30's?

Smith

 

[Wingnut19]

Bring him straight in and see what we have with him and Lewis together, Kosi showed a bit with a couple of grabs yesterday but he is still woeful in front of goals and offers no defensive pressure either. I have a hard time thinking Ryan wouldn't be a large upgrade on Kosi.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Smith

Smith was what, 20, when he was drafted? I didn't really think of him as a mature ager when posing the question.

I also think Smith would have still been able to play this long even if he was drafted at 18.

He was drafted at age 22

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

This guy is so damn good for how raw he is. Forget his age, he’s still got a lots upside and the thing that I like about him is how he holds himself in contests with such a light frame.

He won’t need to add much to that frame to be a handful.

 

[Dipper]

He could play the late Clarko era Paul Puopolo

role to perfection.

 

[threesixpio]

I always assume that the person typing it is into theoretical physics

 

[WWSD]

Is Ryan injured? I don’t think he’s been named in the VFL again.

 

[OnTheRocks]

He got reported and will miss 2 games

Have you seen him, live?



Sounds like someone just started a bandwagon!

 

[burner1]

Anyone seen him at training? How’s he fitting in? Shame he’s still suspended.

 

[grumbleguts]

Particle physics gives me a hadron.

 

[matey]

Should be close to finishing his suspension and playing again. Country lad that looks something in between a Jeromy Cameron and Greg Dear …… hopefully more Jeromy . Got a good feeling a mature pickup won’t need years of development and could be the missing piece of a puzzle in one area of the ground that we need

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Will be 28 when we are challenging

 

[CHUBBSS]

Tbh not a bad thing for him to come into the club and get some extra time with burgess before his next game, his going to be a real interesting watch this pre season

 

[toomanysquibs]

Podsiadly retired at 32. Stewart is 30, though he could be one that plays well into his 30's

Podsiadly arguably the oldest looking KP Fwd of the modern era.

People say age is only a number, but in his case it’s also horribly misleading.

 

[MrPremiership]

Coaches are very bullish on him. Don't doubt we will see him in the seniors soon after his suspension ends

He's available this weekend, right?

Future captain.
