The VAFA congratulates Ryder Mantello from Old Ivanhoe Grammarians Football Club who has been nominated as the Round 11 Anytime Fitness Men’s Rising Star. Ryder is ranked 24th for average disposals out of the entire Premier B Men’s competition, and is averaging 97.7 ranking points a match.
What the club said:
Ryder is part of the young group of players that played in the first Ivanhoe Grammar 1st XVIII Premiership in 60 years in 2023.
He has been hugely consistent for us playing both wing and half back and has elite kicking and decision making skills.
Credit to Ryder that at 19 years of age he is averaging 25 possessions a game this year which puts him up amongst the top bracket in our competition.
He is a very well respected player amongst our entire group.
A six-goal haul from Lauren Boyle and a complete team performance headlined a dominant opening round for Power House, while a one-point thriller between Marcelin and Ormond set the tone
