Ivan Soldo

Needs a better tank. Nearly wound down the shot clock trying to catch his breath.
 
Thought he had a great first half and McEvoy has been a non-factor. The fitness is the key. It'll keep getting better and so will he.

His inclusion has done wonders for Nanks overall game. Still limited but doing all that is asked of him. Can't ask any more from an inexperienced player

Small steps, relieving Nank, but starting to have some positive contributions, bonus

Agree. He's a big big unit.

Pound for pound he must be the weakest player in the comp. Just pushed out of marking contests time after time.

Doubt it. He just needs to learn when to plant his feet and when to shift weight. It will come.
 
Yep, give him 2 more years and he will be a weapon. Makes Nank better. Still raw and often beaten but more to come.
 
Needs to be Cappuanoed.

He is a horrible footballer. Not up to AFL standard. Was a massive liability today.

Needs to be Marty McGrathed. Few games and then disappeared...

Rather have Hampo back.

Line ball. Do you go with the guy who has a lot to learn but still a lot more upside or the guy who has more experience but has never really excelled in his career. I suspect for finals you'd probably go Hampson but I think it's been a great learning experience for Soldo to get a few AFL games under his belt.

He can't play again. Just can't.

Play Nank next week as the sole ruckman.

I see no upside in Soldo....unless it's basketball.

Early days for him, especially where he has come from, but yeah he looked a million miles away today. Our big men stocks are very ordinary.

Nank needs a chop out he cant play as the sole ruck he will be totally cooked in 2 years

rather them play Callum Moore as the second Ruck Forward tbh.

Least he can run jump like a bastard and mark
 
Don't understand why they even pick this guy. Does nothing in the ruck or around the ground. Only at Richmond do you get a game for being tall.
