Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
I know we?ll end up with a likely long term very good player (Sanders has been going to school in vic for a few years I believe, so go home factor in 4 or so years lower than other Tassie boys) but I still religiously check here multiple times a day, peruse BF and am super excited for our selections on M & T. In years we don?t perform well my excitement exponentially increases. I no longer care about Xmas, birthdays etc. but draft picks I?m all chips in.
I think this makes me a RWB footy tragic.
Back on topic, an early welcome to Ryley. I?ll be super happy M night. How exciting if he debuts round 1? Do woofers think he will? I?m punting on a round 1 debut and look forward to attending open training.

Would be nice if he could do it on form. I think it would be a nice exclamation point that from R1 2024 this playing group is going in a new exciting direction.
Plus I’d be trying to extend him almost immediately.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
Yeah I was a little worried from the early vision that he would be too vanilla for a the top 6 pick and he might be but would be very surprised if he doesn't turn out to be a very good AFL player.
It just makes sense considering the age of Libba, Jack and Treloar and although I was very keen on Watson after seeing him last year at the champs I think we have already invested heavily into the forward line its time to strengthen elsewhere.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
Just re-watched his Champs video and he does appear to be a well rounded mid. Good enough in the air, good on the ground, can kick seemingly and gets it inside and out.
Seems to have a bit of zip without looking like he's burning players.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
For anyone concerned about his pace, go and watch his bottom-age year videos. He would just run around opponents without care.

I can run rings around under nines as well. Doesn't make me fast!

Unless you’re uploading videos, we can’t verify this alleged speed of yours…

He was playing football against draft peers. Totally different

Yeah but you’re a lot older and bigger than under 9s.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
So the Dees and Hawks might swap picks. Does that change anything here?

I haven't heard that but if that is the case, it probably means the Hawks are more keen on Curtin and the Dee's on Watson so the Hawks are looking for something to sweeten the offer. Perhaps the Dees late pick will give them a few extra points to land McCabe.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
If Hawks are 50/50 on Watson and Curtin trading back is a great move IMO. Will be interesting, it seems like there are a lot of potential moves this year for live trading though we haven't really had any dramatic live trades IIRC
