Rhyan Mansell

Recommended Posts

Here’s a name that I’m sure will get drafted and will be a consistent AFL player.  A late bargain draft pick or a rookie pick  

20 year old Rhyan Mansell moved to the SANFL to the Eagles (Woodville West Torrens) in 2020. He had played as a youngster 17,18,19 for Nth Launceston in 3 premierships. 

In 2020 for the Eagles, he showed he is a fierce competitor, driven to win the footy. His tackling is AFL standard.  He has good pace. Run and carry. His kicking and skills are excellent. He hits targets. He is a good mark. He has 2nd efforts.  In the SANFL Grand Final, he was a key part with 19 possessions, 8 marks.  He has played across half back to use his pace and skills. I see his determination like Trent Rivers.  They have the “Will” to compete. 

JT should have his name on one of those yellow sticky notes.

Unlikely to get drafted. Good type of mid but behind quite a few other youngsters.  Should progress to SANFL next year.  Lachie McNeil is one I would also see as a chance though list spots are tight.

Crisp set of highlights here. Played alongside Port’s academy kid so they’ll be aware of him. North Launy is Jay Lockhart’s club too right (and Chris Fagan’s)? So every chance we’ve been tracking him

I don't like his name. But if he can play then sign him up

I presume you meant the first name, not the second?

If the second, not Nigel, I  presume. It certainly is an 'active' one much more locally, where Rhyan hails from! Any relation? And another Indigenous lad therefore?

Yes he’s an indigenous youngster. Played alongside Tarryn Thomas from the Kangas. And yes hopefully Jay Lockhart can vouch for his ability.

Lachie's dad was drafted by Melbourne and would have been a gun had he not got injured and or come over.  Pretty sure Roberts is bottom age this year and a certainty to be drafted next year - gun!

Training with the Tigers according to the Herald Sun.

That's a shame as he looks the goods and was a bargain in my opinion for pick around 50

FFS. After three premierships in the last 4 years, I’ve grown to really hate the Tigers.  I hate every other club, just some like the Pies, Eagles, Bombers and now Tigers are really hated.  ?
 

Mansell is a skilled, fast, wing/half back runner who showed in the SANFL that he also has the 2nd efforts and intensity to be in the AFL system. It’d be great for Mark Williams or Tim Lamb to get his number and give him a call to see if he would consider a spot with the Dees. Tigers already have too many good players. They need to opt out for a while.

I don't get how this is about Richmond. We had a pick in the draft and we chose to pass. We could have taken him if we rated him high enough. He is training at Richmond but if we have an interest we have a pick in the SSP before them. Who knows if we asked him to train on with us but at least someone has and if we think he is worthy he should be gettable.

I hope we consider him Big Red!

Rhyan Mansell should be in an AFL team and system in 2021. Hoping it’s with the Dees. He’s the type we want. Pace. Skill. Determination. Tackles.  Has the same qualities as young Riv.

'norm', you consistently build these players up like they're the 2nd coming of Barassi...

...are you sure you're not shifter Sheehan or Michael Turner in disguise???

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
