Have they announced he will definitely play?

I can't think of one that's ever been promoted like this and not played, tl. But teams not out yet.
 
Whatever you say about Soldo this is a gutsy call. The easy option would have been to pick Ivan senior but the club is sticking to building for the future.

This is not a call for the 2017 season

Castagna, butler, Rioli, CEllis, Markov and soldo are all young and very inexperienced players who wouldn't have more than about 70 games between them.

I think it's the smart play in the circumstances, Sin. At least there's a chance Soldo will improve. The other Ivan can't.
 
Good luck to the kid, hes a long way off but might as well debut against a side without a ruckman i guess.

I don't think he's as far off as you think.

I predict around 70% of Nanks output. 10 disposals, 4 marks and 25-30 hitouts.
 
Cymbals Mark II ? ;D

Hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised at the weekend
 
It is the right call. Nankervis will need support throughout the season. Soldo is big and strong, he is more likely to provide that support than anyone on our list. He needs AFL game time.

In round 2 of the VFL I saw him take a courageous mark that Hampson could only dream of. Cymbals he ain't. Very strong mits.

Bang. More to gain than lose if he comes on.
 
I cant recall a greater need for a debutant to show something?
