Toast Welcome to St.Kilda - PADDY RYDER!

[George]

All-Australian calibre ruckman to help Ro's continued development. Can play forward or in the middle.

Cooking with gas now!

 

[Sir Skid]

Welcome Paddy!

 

[Saintbloke]

Good pickup- his strength in contests will be very useful around the ground as we're not a physically strong team. Wont be star, but just do a job as required.

really happy with this ..... his uncle works in our warehouse ... great to have a decent ruckman now

 

[StMiles1]

Really happy so long as they edit round 19 2017 out of his highlights.

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Got him for cheap. Played 16, 17 and 22 games the last two years. Hopefully can keep being reliable.

Feel he works pretty well with Marshall.

Good luck Paddy.

This is exactly what Rowan Marshall needs. A top level ruck that he can train with and against.

Aside from what Paddy brings to the ground this is going to be a great acquisition for the club.

 

[RWBlyf]

Great get!

Don't even.

 

[Sab22]

We can use him to close out games that are tight.

Allowing Marshall to roam around the ground and use his marking ability

What on earth is this? Pls tell me this is a skit. Posted around 5pm, not long after the trade, who on earth would've bothered to get together for this? And, for Paddy? Why not Dougal? Do we have folk dancers and singers to welcome new players? Where? How? Why? Lol.

That will certainly put the cliche that there's something a bit weird about Saints supporters to bed.

Bloke seems genuinely excited to be playing for us & working alongside Marshall. Good to have you on side Ryder, if you feel like replicating your tap work ala Robbie Gray style, feel free... Seriously ANYTIME.

 

[Human Person]

Will be great to have him for a year or two, he's pretty handy down forward, and as a rotating ruck can be more effective than Bruce.

 

[King_Steele]

Love his tap work. Good for Roma to have around.

Welcome Paddy!

Absolutely! Even at 31 the bloke is a fine ruckman/forward who brings welcome support for RoMa as well as HEIGHT!!!! Up front !!!!
2020 looks like being a much improved year !!!!️️

 

[Winmar]

Paul Salmon played in the ruck until the age of about 73, so we might get more mileage out of Paddy than we think

Hahaha. Upon reflection it's all abit of fun. Nothing wrong with being happy and optimistic over new signings. tbh there's a part of me that wants to be there singing and dancing alongside them.
