I like Joe too. I especially like that he doesn't play for us.

Pretty interesting insight.Hopefully Ralph Carr can work his magic on Mab's as well
Leppa on SEN today said he asked Blair Hartley whether player managers played a role in a players development and which player managers are best at it.
Blair replied Ralph was the best, telling, and getting, his players to put in the work and i'll get you the contract.
Mind you he had pretty easy canvases to work with Dusty & Shai.
Mabs switched to Ralph end of 2019 and immediately engaged a personal trainer in Warrnabool in a bid to build cardiovascular fitness.
Quinton Narkle joined Ralph at the start of 2021, (great mates with Shai), and he is now playing some great footy. When there were rumors of Narkle coming to Richmond in the trade period I were hoping we could get him.
A player manager adding value for their player by making their player more valuable.
Common sense isn’t always common.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Last year he had a couple of good games in a row and then fell away and was not considered in the back end of the year. He needs to keep his effort levels up. I would love for him to succeed but he still has a ways to go to get that monkey off his back
I don't think that bad Nantanui is bit overated for me and Soldo and Chol handled him well last time.
Mabs best chance is to out leap him. Yes you read that correctly..
Simple solution to NicNat's size is Mate Colina.
Dimma: Hey, Mate!
Colina: Yes, Dimma farkin
Dimma: You're in this week
Colina: Ok, boss, what is my role farkin
Dimma: Your role this week. See this big black bloke with the dreadlocks
Colina: yes farkin
Dimma: Your role is to put him out of action when the umpire, that's the bloke wearing green, bounces the ball at the start of the game
Ambulance called at the 10 second mark of the first quarter
Dimma (on phone to bench): Ok, Livo, get Mate off, get his tracksuit on. He looks injured. Activate the sub....Chol into the ruck
That was Nank and Soldo, agree though, they did a number on Nic Nac.
Agree about Nic Nac being overrated (around the ground) he is very good at getting the clearance off his own hit out though. Last week as Captain was just about the best game iv'e seen him play.
A huge challenge for Mabs and CJ, for mine this is where the game will be won or lost.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
The instruction for Mabs/CJ could simply be to make sure they obstruct him from following the ball towards the Eagles goal. Our mids do the rest.
Yes, Vardy's inclusion is probably a reflection on what Nank and Solda did to Nic Nac last time. Not sure Mabs and CJ will be able to do it though.
As an aside an undersized ruckman that I'm a fan of for Claremont in the WAFL, Oliver Eastland took Vardy to the cleaners last week.

Chol has a chance to cement himself into the firsts if he builds on last weeks game so it is going to be interesting on Sunday
Absolutely. He has the skills but is the killer instinct there. Look at Nanks, he has immense desire. That's what Mabs needs to find.
Gawn was averaging 37 hitouts as a 23yo, 19 as a 21yo. Gawn has always had great stamina which is where I think Chol's issue is. You can improve fitness and I'm sure Chol is as fit as can be, it would be disappointing at 24yo in a professional environment if he wasn't. But stamina, some just have better natural stamina than others.
