Ivan Maric is Croatian so assume Ivan Soldo is also Croatian. Playing the Serbian National Anthem may not get the outcome you are desiring but would definitely fire a Croatian up!

What time is the cut off for elevating Junior?

Think that was the idea TP
 
It's always good to see a young bloke getting a gig. Soldo has earned his debut.
 
Looking forward to the debut.

For those who have seen him, what's he like resting up forward? Capable, competent, or Elton like ?
 
Elton Like that can take more grabs. Surprisingly accurate for someone who only picked up a footy at 17-18yo!! Was meant to be a 5-6 year project player and if the trajectory continues we may have found a beauty!!! Tall and will give us decent service in the ruck.

I hope he rests in the pocket and they deliver some good decent high balls for him to get his mits on.

204cm 106kg - is a beast! Tallest Richmond ruckman I think we have ever had (last 40 years anyway). The "infamous" Richard Lounder for those old enough to remember was 203cm. Gregg Stafford was also 203 cm

He can get lost, Baloo. But at his best he can mark one-on-one, lead to a hole and seagull out the back with the best of them. He's smart and sneaky. He can halve it in the air.

Has to get there more often.
 
Congratulations and good luck to the kid and if he's got Maric blood in him at least we'll know he'll have a red hot go.

Re Elton: Will run and jump less but will catch more.

And here I was thinking Elton's one AFL trait is the ability to pull down a mark.
 
Good luck to young Ivvy Soldo. Club doesn't really have an option so throw him straight in the deep end n see if he can swim a bit or not.

Kid only needs to halve a few contests at this stage and anything beyond that will be pure bonus, I'm kinda partial to bonus so I'm hoping he does well.

tether him to Morris

Not even the Greeks would do that, Baloo. Prometheus preferred to have his liver eaten by ravens IIRC.
