Why not replace Chol with CCJ next match?
If he's playing the minutes that Chol currently is, IMO that would be the perfect workload for him.

It's a thought, Hafes. Swap the ruck duos from yesterday. But I think Soldo gets another go, and Nank comes in.
If he's three-quarters as good as The General, T-Man, then he will be an absolute ripper.
Hope he has that little bit of mongrel in him that Lee brought to his game.
This excites me!! He had good wraps before he was drafted. Can’t wait to see him progress and play more senior footy.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
I've been saying for the past 2 months that he'll be ahead of Soldo and Chol after another preseason, but he's come so far since his AFL debut that he is probably already past Chol's inconsistent efforts and more versatile than Soldo as a second ruck to Nank.
If we had another few weeks in the season we might have had a chance to test this, but I doubt we'll completely overhaul our ruck division now.

Spot on, spook.
Now that you mention it, The General wasn't the greatest of aerialists was he?
Good chance CJ surpasses Soldo and Chol as early as next year IMO, Mabs has shown signs of providing the flexible forward/around the ground ruckman we are craving from an athletic point of view but far from it terms of possessions, (only 3 last week). CJ is moving better than I thought him capable of, (at least at VFL level), and is just a natural footballer & generally gets mid teen possessions so promising signs:

Callum Coleman-Jones
19 disposals, 17 hit-outs, one goal, nine marks (four contested), four tackles & two clearances
“He's playing career-best footy, playing above the level as a ruck/forward. He was pinch-hitting in the ruck when ‘Nank’ (Toby Nankervis) was off the ground. It’s just his cleanliness in the air and at ground level, he had nine marks of which four were contested. He’s a really nice player in the making for us and kicked a nice goal late in the game.”

Not just yet, reckon CJ will make another dramatic improvement with another pre-season, he was top of the pops in terms of improvement after the last off-season.
