Round 8 Essendon v Footscray @ Whitten Oval, 7pm Friday 9 June 2017

He looks KP height and his mobility from the small sample size is very good but again based on small sample size I wouldn’t think he wouldnt have the physicality to be a KP player.

He looks like in time he will have a good frame on him but to me he doesn’t have that physical prescence as say a hurley, hooker or even a francis has.

Using Langford as an example who I personally believe has a massive future, he has a big body that would make a great inside mid in the mold of say a fyfe. What he doesn’t have and what I feel is the same with Ridley is that want to hurt somebody or get hurt.

I dont think you can ever train that instinct and in Ridleys case and Langford its probably not necessary.

They both have different strengths and its up to Woosha and the coaching team to find a role in the team that can exploit those strengths.
