Ryan may have some VFL traits, but he isn’t going to make it as an AFL footballer.
He’s laconic and lazy and his training standards are very poor.

Don't agree with this at all.  Rucking solo all year so far.

Matter of opinion, but I don’t like what I’ve seen.

Long way to go with Ryan. Under 25yo rucks in AFL are uncompetitive in 99% of cases. Still time to develop.
Go Tigers!

He did work hard and basically rucked all day. For me he doesn't seem to have it to step it up to the next level. Hope I am wrong as rucks do take time. Would be we knock his effort though.

Im all for persevering. But saying that the concern remains is he half ruckman half fwd but not quite either.

Half forward?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Wins many taps but doesn’t give mids s as my advantage.

Unfortunately our mids aren’t much chop either.

Someone must teach him how to tap to advantage.
The club that keeps giving.

Sounds like Samson will be playing.


Journo: Is this the week you look at Samson Ryan helping out in the ruck?

Dimma: Yeah, definitely! He's well and truly in the equation. He's been in really good form at VFL level. We've been really happy with what he has been able to produce. The possibility of him going up against one of the best ruckman in the modern era in Todd Goldstein is exciting and overwhelming at the same time. He's such a combative person. They've also got CJ which we know pretty well. It will be a challenge if he is selected but he certainly has put his hand up.

The positive this year is that he is taking the vfl by scruff of the neck. Has filled the void of CCP which is pretty impressive considering where he was at. The key is continue that development to get a senior gig and then more. Fingers crossed.
Go Tigers!

I'd like to see against a better team but he has all the attributes.
