Delightful debut. Does also suggest that using Hurley in that role is a bit of waste.

You could see this when we drafted him.
Great head on his shoulders, exactly what the team needed
Pacey tall backman with nice skills.
Or converselyâŚ
Amazing what happens when you develop them well in the VFL and then, when they are ready, play them.

When discussing our choices at pick 24? or whatever he was taken, Dodoro said that Ridley had the ability to become the best player from his draft year.
I like what I saw today.

STAYS THE FK IN
Donât know if itâs because they play a similar role but he reminds me of Gleeson in that I can just see him holding his spot, never being dropped and developing for 50 games before becoming really important to us.
Thanks Disco.

So impressed by this kid today. His kicking was spot on and his ability to read the play for a first gamer was highly impressive. He must stay in.

Very nice debut. Has a lot more improvement to come too which is scary. Oozes composure & class. Wait until weâve got a full compliment back there and McKenna is released up the ground. Offers so much more than McNeice IMO.

Worked for Hawthorn for the past 50 years.
Reminds me of one of my favourite bombers ever in Sean Wellman. Classy ball user, doesnât panic under pressure and has more dash than youâd expect. Will be a great player for us.
Rapt for kid.
