I shouldn't have brought up Young haha.

Cameron Wight another kpd who looked good early days then faded.

Agree with everyone that JOD seems to have the right mix of attitude, skill and resilience. Excited to see his future.

Sockeye Salmon a poster from the Rocket era of WOOF used to state it often. Before 20 games they're world beaters and after 20 games they're duds that should be delisted (I've forgotten the exact words)

Nah, the 20 game rule was don't judge the player till they have at least played 20 games.

I thought that was the moral but the point was we overrate them early and then over correct once we realise their faults

Agree 100% with this.

Paging woof statisticians.

Id love to see his stats at this stage of his career versus other bulldogs at the same point, players like shaggy and Morris.

My previous employers would cringe at me being called a statistician let alone a reasonably competent numbers man, but you play in the league you play in I guess.

Statistical analysis in Ryan's early days was fairly rudimentary so there's only so much you can analyse. At the same age JOD is placed at 11 games, Hargrave 19. It's all pretty similar across all stats, with plus one or minus one measuring across kicks, handballs, marks and tackles either way.

Qualitatively, they share a penchant for one howler a game by foot.....but that's just from memory.


Dale Morris

Had to compare JOD at ~21 vs. ~23 due to Morris's later start.

Big difference is Morris is ahead on handballs and tackles.

Thank you so much for that, really appreciate it.

Very similar stat line and im very bullish we can get a similar outcome.
