Cleared to Melbourne in April 1932 defender "Ginger" Ryan was one of the rare Melbourne recruits from the northern VFA clubs, but never managed to fully lodge himself in the senior side before leaving for Collingwood. A rare backman of his era who could kick with both feet, he spent five years at Victoria Park but never managed more than nine games in a year.
