After deciding enough was enough from Gero I headed over to Duck Park to watch the Swans vs Subi scratchie and the return of Crowls to WA.
What I witnessed was a show from a small forward that left me breathless and comparable only to the purple Jesus at his absolute best.
Liam Ryan (the same guy that apparently has no tank, dodgy discipline and doesn't communicate too well) was unstoppable. I lost count after 6 but he must have kicked 8 or 9.
The highlight was a big grab that wasn't paid, he landed, twisted and turned toward goal before anyone else knew where he was (including his teammates) and slotted it from about 40.
He kicked them from everywhere in a show of rare pure skill.
The only downside is he is quite hungry but he certainly backs it up.
How he didnt even make a rookie list last year is amazing really.....I really hope he is in purple next year.
