Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
As Go Dogs pointed out, Sanders is being asked to play a role behind, Bont, Libba, Richards and Treloar and other than his kick to handball ratio he appears to be doing that quite well.
He needs to break his goal kicking cherry though

Big time alright I saw FDOTM walking into an adult shop in Sydney Road Brunswick!
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

You would know as well as anyone Gary, but in the pre-season he was playing very differently in club scrimmages to what he is now. He was cracking in hard, taking running shots on goal and being much more aggressive with his running patterns and positioning.
I believe (the whisper is) after his first couple of games where he turned the ball over trying to bite off aggressive kicks inboard, he was told to cool his jets a bit, play his role and leave those sorts of kicks to our distributors. He was dropped, told to work on the defensive side of his game and he'd find a spot in the team where he was a role player.
He does have the attributes to be a game winner, but at the moment you can just see his first instinct is to do the team thing and move the ball on quickly and safely. I'd love to see him have the confidence to make those more flashy wow plays, but that will come with time as he finds his feet.
He'll be a great player. Talk of his limitations this early in his career are unfair I think, there's still plenty of development scope left for the young fella.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
I am happy Ryley is getting games into him, it will do a lot of good for his future. He is averaging 16.5 disposals and has some good figures compared to other rising stars

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
I don’t think he’s going that badly. His kicking has been very not good but he seems really composed in a contest and his hands to players leaving stoppage are really impressive.
Once he gets a little more faith in the amount of time he has to dispose the ball I think he will improve a lot very quickly.

Didn't he quit the forum right when Rocket was sacked? He seemed to have a connection there occasionally getting inside word on things before they happened

I know him personally (as do a few others on WOOF), and he had his own reasons for leaving WOOF, which I feel it is not up to me to mention. However, I will say it had nothing to do with Rocket getting moved on.
Best we leave it there as it is not important.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Ryley Sanders
I think he's going fine, problem is that we see players like Daicos and Harley Reid come in and look like 100 game players from the start and seem to expect that for any high draftee, it's just so unrealistic to expect that, i think he'll be more than fine.

How's he going at the moment?
Daicos is a different beast.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
