Ryder

[5Alive]

I received a text tonight telling me he is off to GC, hope its a really bad rumour

[BenDoolan]

Amazing, considering he signed a 3 year deal last year.....

[5Alive]

Yeah I know and normally I just put it in the shit pile but its connected

[BERT]

Just brought a house in Moonee Ponds.

[5Alive]

Yeo know about the house, just gonna let this go to keeper I reckon.

[BenDoolan]

It's probably true he's off to the Gold Coast.......for a holiday

haha yep I have a feeling that the entire playing list will be heading up there...

[5Alive]

Yeah they are, just got a lil scared cause his Mrs is a QLDer

[Rossoneri]

So you knew he just signed a 3-year deal, and that he bought a house in Moonee Ponds, and you were still worried?

I would be more worried about Dempsey as he actually is from QLD (though I think from far north Queensland)

Dempsey can go.


Dont worry no one would even know Ryder was up there even for holiday, much like his games this season...didnt even know he was out there 99% of the time.

Ryder is reasonable trade bait - G.C. will offer picks as he is a contracted player.

If he goes we need another big man - unlike Paddy - we need another big man.

Like I said I was worried because of where it came from, whispers whispers everywhere

I have put my helmet and suit of armour on.

Ok, if we lost Paddy Ryder for a quality mid-field player or high draft picks - I am not going to lose too much sleep.

Yes he could be anything but I am afraid that Paddy is one of those laconic type players that makes the game look easy but simply doesnt do it often enough.

Ok fire away people

I'm willing to give him another season to prove his true worth - just like Monfries continues to get. The thing is, the is more upside to Ryder who can play ruck, defence or forward. So I'd rather dispose of a fluff player like Monfries (who actually has a strange "good reputation" in media circles) and flog him off for something decent.
