I’ve watched a fair bit of the VFL this year and it doesn’t look good for him. Maybe delist and give him a spot on the rookie list so he is not taking up a senior list spot?
He was making inroads early in the season I thought, but I noticed I think it was against Collingwood at Windy Hill that he took his eye off the ball expecting heat. Since then I see him do it regularly. It’s not a good look.
As a small defender or midfielder you take your eye off the ball and you will get punished every time.
At this stage Ridley looks to me like a modern Sean Wellman. Perhaps one you could throw forward on occassion- Duckworth, Weston.
Although if he was a Paul Weston I’d be over the moon.
Knock on him at TAC was supposedly he’d drift out of games or sit back a bit.
Doesn’t bode well for a mid but we could certainly use a tall mobile utility itch food hands and disposal
I was actually pretty confused. I thought people were caning Ridley but I think Morgan was the victim?
Anyway, I’m very excited with how Ridley is going so far. I was not too excited by his selection but he seems to be very promising.
That looks a very long neck. And long necks are useless height. Surely we should be measuring shoulder height off the ground, or maybe height of fingertips off the ground when arms fully extended upwards.
Maybe a new thing I just invented.
If it were soccer then maybe a long neck is advantageous for heading the ball etc. But for footy you are spot in on. Actually I think I remember him having a very sizeable wing span? Might be the reason for all the marks?
sounds like Ridley is really exciting our coaches. I’d say he wouldve played a few senior games by now had he not been injured. Is this the last year of Morgans contract? hes had a tough run with injury too. Not sure if he will get extension or maybe they will offer him rookie spot next year. We will need to make a decision on Longy too.
