Ivan Soldo

Need to get a chip implanted in this bloke that gives him an electric shock if he enters forward 50

The tiger mascot would be more mobile

If only we had pushed for him to be part of the gws deal instead of paying a bag of gold for hopper

Hasn't worked playing for many years playing him second ruck to Nank.

If anything hurts any trade value he has.

When he was younger he was raw but so much scarier. Grew out of the mongrel that lesser talented players must bring.

His trade value grew when rucked solo against Gawn. In the last two weeks it’s gone the other way.

Clubs know what they are getting.

My biggest issue was playing Soldo and Nank was to the detriment of the team.

Reckon the Skunks will go for him.

They've got not much in the ruck cupboard, they know him and he wont cost that much for them to get him.
 
I actually think Soldo is a decent 1st ruck. He competes well against the bigger ruckmen such as Gawn. It’s just that he doesn’t take enough contested marks around the ground (especially defensively) and has no forward presence at all.

Was playing his best footy as 1st ruck in 2020 before Hawkins hurt his knee. Hasn’t reached that level since.

He & Nank can’t play in same team. Too top heavy & slow - Nank can’t play forward either - no idea plus a horrible set shot.

I’d be open to trade offers for either - Nank has been worn down by injury and is a shadow of the player he was.

When Ivan took the centre bounces, we seemed to dominate clearances.
Whereas when Nank went in, the opposition seemed to clear it with ease
