Paddy Ryder seems on the outer at Port and looking at moving on. Co-incidentally around the time I heard this Drew Petrie  was on SEN saying how WCE have five players who can play ruck on their list or in development. Interested on what other think of getting Ryder and giving max the chop out we hoped Preuss would be capable of this year.

 

Always liked him, but would think he's the last thing we'd look at given we need speed and creativity.

What would he do during the 86% of game time he's not needed?

 

Preuss hasn't been good up forward but in the one chance he got in the ruck he did the job. We're stuck with him for a while so I'd be looking at finding the next guy rather than rushing out to replace Preuss with a different older back up for a year or two.

 


Ryder looks spent. Very skillful big man but his body consistently let's him down.

yeah, 21 men gave birth last year

I’m probably more disappointed that my intended connection between Wynona Ryder and ‘Stranger Things’ has Passed unnoticed to the Netflix faithful.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
