    Re: WOOF Welcomes Ryley Sanders to the Kennel

    I look forward to the next inevitable "he's a dud" commentary after game one when he doesn't have 36 touches and 3 goals.

      No, his foot speed is certainly ahead of Diesel, but I think his hands are as quick as the dual Brownlow Medallist, plus he has the inherent ability to be in the right spot at the right time.

        I can't remember too many rivalling him for praise this early on.

        Maybe Smith but that seemed more around work ethic. I feel like Bont started a little slow and it wasn't until a few months into the season he exploded.

        Cooney was a bit of a slow burn initially, Griff might be the other.

        Either way, easy to see why we wanted him. We really value character and he has this in spades, let alone his ability on the ground.

          Cooney was a bit fat and lazy initially, Griff might be the other.

          I fixed it for you.

            It's really hard to compare anyone's first season to Bailey Smith's but Sanders is getting a lot of praise for his competitiveness and his composure in the middle. Let's hope he gets off to a good start.

              That’s more like bomber supporters not ours :-)
              Bulldog supporter were very patient on JUH , the media weren’t but that turned pretty quick.

                But can he hit a leading forward 9 times out of 10?

                  If he gets to the age of 22 and his highlights package isn't just him hitting leading forwards I'll be writing him off.

                    I mean, you laugh, but literally one of the first comments made about him in match sim.on here was that he hit Naughton on the chest on the lead three times in a row.

                      Maybe he will get 36 and 3 goals.

                        I'm safe because there are no narcs on this board.
