Season 2021 - St Kilda

the guy left us mid-contract and threatened legal action when we needed him the most. then came grovelling back once port were tossing him aside. fark him

I didn’t think he came grovelling back at all?
He toured the club but ultimately turned down Essendons interest.

“All-Australian ruckman Paddy Ryder is poised to leave Port Adelaide, exploring options for a return to Melbourne after falling behind Scott Lycett and Peter Ladhams in Port’s ruck pecking order.”

He was seeking out clubs because he wasnt of worth to port anymore. Grovelling.

He took the bigger contract - it’s not any more complicated than that.

Once a mercenary, always one.

It’s ■■■■■■■ deranged. Absolutely lost grip on reality.

We were pathetic trying to get him back. He came and left. Took a nice little jab at us too. Fark the money grubbing ■■■■.

Specifically for St K, I don’t know why they got Matt Crouch when they already had Ross. They’re both good, but basically both only ball chasers and not much else.

What would happen if someone tried to kick out to the Boys, or the Club?

This is the post that I didn’t realise that I needed in my life.

Great work.

“But found it interesting that Gary Lyon went so hard on her this morning”

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you happy to see me, type hard ?

Cool story. Truth is Essendon were keen and Ryder wasn’t.

He only said that after the cool reception he received.
Why would he tour the facilities if he wasn’t interested ?

Why would he tour the facilities if Essendon wasn’t interested?

Both parties were interested.

It angers me that we were considering him though.

if only they had got Matt, would have complemented Steele nicely.

Too vanilla for our needs. We are going places quickly, he would take too long to get there. There is nothing wrong with him as a player, there is just nothing there to say that he stands out.

Get Hind and forget them

Matt Crouch is one of the most over rated players in the game.
Does not hurt with his disposals.
Every one is a safe 35-40m pass.
Never takes the game on.
Never takes risks.
