Club: Subiaco
DOB: 2/10/1996
Height: 184cm
Weight: 76kg
Draft range: 25-45

Summary: 21-year-old WAFL star, excitement machine who knows where the goals are.

Strengths:

  • Speed
  • Goal sense
  • Kicking
  • Marking
  • X-Factor

Weaknesses:

  • Question marks over professionalism
  • Endurance
  • Defensive pressure

Overall:

After being overlooked in last year's draft, Ryan went back to the WAFL with a real purpose, kicking a whopping 73 goals across 23 games in 2017.

He's been likened to Cyril Rioli with his ability to turn the game with a breathtaking moment and clearly has elite goal sense as a deep forward.

Rarely makes mistakes with ball in hand, with the only concern being his ability to transfer into an elite AFL environment.

He can take one hell of a good hanger.
