Samson Ryan was criticised as appearing to have given up on playing AFL again, described as slow with a complete lack of desire and standing idle after ruck contests. A commenter noted his big disposal numbers were misleading. The VFL analyst stated his ruck contest record was adequate but his impact after the contest was the problem.

Samson Ryan performance in Round 6 again criticised — multiple commenters saying he should be the first off the list, and that OHB being dropped for Ryan is ridiculous. Community considers his AFL career at Richmond effectively over.

Community post arguing Samson Ryan is being given a final 2-3 game audition before being delisted — '6 years on list, every game still looks like his first.' Multiple comments agree he's not AFL-standard and 'if he can't beat CCJ it's over for him.' Post has 34 comments of mostly agreement.
