Paddy Ryder makes dramatic citizen's arrest

Port Adelaide ruckman Paddy Ryder has chased and apprehended a man who allegedly tried to break into his house.

Ryder and his brother reportedly chased three would-be burglars from his house in western Adelaide, following them in his car about 4.15am ACDT on Thursday.

The offenders crashed their car, which had allegedly been stolen earlier, in a nearby suburb.

Three men ran from the crashed car and the All-Australian ruckman caught one and made a citizen's arrest.

The other two men remain at large.

Ryder drove the suspect back to his house, where police had been called.

"This has obviously been a traumatic experience for Patrick and his family," Port's general manager of football Chris Davies said in a statement.

A 19-year-old man has been charged with aggravated serious criminal trespass, illegal use of a motor vehicle, theft, and attempted serious criminal trespass.

Can't complain about the side on paper. Was unsure whether they would go with Marshall or Amon. Seems like Ken may have changed his tactics

Ken satisfied that Marshall and Watts can play tall and small.

Marshall in particular is seriously impressing me (and has impressed the group all summer). Watching him in JLT2, he is completely team oriented and some of the little blocks he gave Dixon in the 3rd shows that he adds value well beyond what is shown on the stat sheet.

Who makes way for Rob in R2 will be a very tough call.

Sam Gray would be feeling the pressure despite having a good year in 2017. Wonder if they would drop Marshall for him seeing as Robbie can contest with a tall in the air and then beat them at ground level

Sam Gray plays in my opinion. Underrated player and fills a much needed forward pressure role.

I think so too and that's why i think Marshall may be squeezed out when Robbie returns. Very tough side to break into

Haven't lost to a top 8 side.

My expectation is 16 or 17 wins, if that's good enough for top 4 then so be it.
