"Ryley has jumped out of the box this year. A left-foot rebounding half-back who is athletically through the roof, he’s naturally suited to today’s game given he can run, intercept mark and impact the game if needed up forward by taking a mark. Gone from being off the grid to being on everyone’s radar this year and I’m positive he’ll find a place."
– Eastern Ranges coach Darren Bewick
