Jakob Ryan

The dashing defender didn’t make any senior appearances in 2024 after playing once in his debut season, but the Magpies still have big wraps on him. Can also play on the wing and performed well at VFL level when he was available as parts of his season were lost to hand and calf injuries. Started the 2025 pre-season well, winning the 2km time trial, and the Magpies will hope he turns into an intercept marking option who can provide attack from the back half.
