Former #30 Patrick Ryder - we dodged the bullet

Be joyous people. This is the first piece of good news that Essendon has received in a long, long time.

That he was actually allowed back onsite is stomach-turning. #FKNFATJUDASTNUC

I hope all those that wanted him note that not only is he not coming to us, he took to the media to take ANOTHER shot at the club.

Quality human.

Why did they even let this ■■■■ back into the club? The club is off its head atm.

Even worse, we gave him life membership and then he comes out and throws shade at the club. Flogiest flog of all flogs.

Whoever invited him back should be named, shamed and fired out of a canon.

I assume X, he was the one who gave him the lfie membership according to articles. (probably wasn’t him that invited Flog back)

Serious question: Should Ryder’s son become a super exciting prospect, would you object to trying to woo Paddy and family all over again?

Yes I would be against that flog being anywhere near the club.

If he (the son) were prepared to drop into Births, Deaths & Marriages Victoria, I prolly wouldn’t have an issue with it. :grin:

He didn’t get a good feeling because he saw Franga and got flashbacks

This.

You know you’ve hit rock bottom as a club when a fkn vegetable throws shade at you after awarding them life membership.

Club should have faxed it to him.

Won’t happen. The poor wee infant is riddled with all manner of contract-nullifying birth defects, remember?

Besides, he’ll want to be closer to his grandparents in Qld so will obviously sign with west coast.

Maybe it was a: “Don’t contact us again for the rest of your life membership”.

Now far cough and get outta here.

Yeah I would object.

I don’t think we were deserving of being put down publicly like he did today, that’s it for me.

We did the right thing to mend bridges and award life membership, that’s where the relationship need to end for the rest of his life.

He is nothing but a stat that represented Essendon between 2006 and 2014.

Ryder is an absolute flog. Can’t believe he had another pot shot at the club. Shows what sort of person he is. Good luck with that peckerhead saints.

He should of yeah/nah’d his way through it.

“Yeah/nah… Essendon is a great club but I feel my best opportunity to contribute is with St Kilda”

you should stick to the Ryder thread, you make a lot more sense here

But very true. Just say I had to choose somewhere and I picked St Kilda as the best fit for me.

That’s it. Leave it at that. It’s the same as Shield did. Same as any player does when they are looking at multiple clubs.
