He just looked a bit switched off last night, looked being the operative word I think.
Agree with this, Dimma is happy to take the good and the bad of Mabs imo.
Only issue is if Nankervis is fit, what is the ruck combination. I think Soldo may rue his performance from last night.
Agree regarding the comment about forward craft.
Just think Soldo’s tap work is better than Nankervis’.
All accurate. Yes, a little disappointing last night but was it a bit of fatigue which people interpret as lazy, laconic? He is just a naturally graceful, languid mover but no-one quite knows what he is going to do, because even he barely knows what he is capable of, yet.
Imagine if he hadn't have missed that great solo effort on goal (was it Q2)? Even the commentators were about to go off.
I agree with most of the criticism but he still did some quality things, and team things. We have to remember he is still a very young guy in terms of games at AFL level. And talls take longer to mature and reach their peak anyway.
So much upside. I would definitely keep playing him but rest Soldo and bring Nank in against Poort if he's fit to go.

Not enough for mine. Nankervis is far more effective around the ground, gives greater presence around the contest and can bloody mark the ball.
Team Choldo are at about a 94% success rate. Something is going right in spite of some inconsistent games. It's good for team balance.
Nank will always get involved and hurt the opposition mids if nothing else. Soldo's tap work is good and he's taller which helps against the monsters, but when he's down on form it's obvious.
I tend to favour Chank, but there's a little bit of horses for courses.

Each to their own but I don't see it in Mabs. I think he's too easily pushed out of the contest (marking, hard ball etc.) and has very limited footy IQ. Does the odd thing that captures the eye but don't see him a long term option.
I still see him as going either way to be honest. Does some great things but then does nothing for most of the game.
This was "touched on" near the end of the gameday thread.
Richmond quizzed on bizarre change room antics after footage emerges on social media

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick cut his weekly press conference short on Friday after being hit with accusations of alleged sexual assault among his players.
It was alleged by veteran reporter Hugh Riminton that Tiger defenders Nick Vlastuin and Jayden Short were involved in the incidents involving teammate Mabior Chol.
Two incidents were allegedly caught on camera in the change rooms, after last week’s win over Brisbane and the previous clash with the Western Bulldogs.
It showed the Tigers standing in a circle singing the club song after a victory.
The vision is being circulated on social media, allegedly showing Vlastuin grabbing at Chol’s backside.
It was alleged the footage also shows Vlastuin grabbing at Chol’s genitals three times.
Short allegedly was filmed grabbing at Chol’s genitals after the game against the Western Bulldogs the following week.
Hardwick didn’t answer any of the allegations, and a club spokesperson entered the press conference, being done via Zoom, to say the coach and the club had “no knowledge” of the incident.
The club and the AFL have been asked for comment.

If this is indeed some sort of in-joke about Chol being an "anti-Nahas", it could be used to damage the club by PC Nazis.

Tigers apologise after groping accusation, Saint also sorry for separate incident
Two premiership Tigers have admitted to "unacceptable" behaviour and apologised amid allegations they had groped a teammate.
Not a huge deal but it’s certainly not a good look by the lads being broadcast on TV. Pretty silly. I’m sure we won’t be seeing those hijinks again soon.
