Absolutely wrapped to get Ryan and Allen, but who the hell is Jarrod Brander? He didn’t look too happy at the announcement.

Even though he's a Victorian he barracks for the Eagles,good long term KP Forward prospect.
Plenty of small forward X factor if Rioli and Ryan can fire together,gives the forward line a completely different look.

I thought Allen would go in the first round so he is good second round pick up for the Eagles.

Ryan a very handy pick up! Can bring that new X factor to the forward line. Would probably need to improve on fitness and endurance for AFL level and maybe work a bit more on his defensive pressure. The young man needs to learn very quickly that the ball is not always going to come to him like at WAFL level and needs to work hard for it.
I would like to see him pushed up to half forward over the years and let him use his speed up the ground.

It's going to be very tough for Ryan....he excelled at WAFL level but when matched up against Nyhuis at the chunder he struggled and Nyhuis is not even a regular AFL defender.
