Harsh. Thought Chol had some decent highlights from the weekend's vision. Looks to be clunking a few.
If Neil Balme's opinion means anything then Chol could be a wildcard, that is if he can get consistency in his game.

I share that View , Not saying Chol will make it (hoping he does)

The upside for Chol is massive and he really is a freak when he is on and can do anything, Has the ability to become that Athletic mobile Ruck/Fwd that totally takes the game away from the opposition but can he get that to a stage where he can produce it for more than 10 minutes is the question.

Still young for a Ruckman but im happy to keep him on and develop him

I would love to see Chol in 2-3 years time playing the 2nd Ruck but have always thought he would make a very good CHB
 
Looks like it’s “break glass in case of emergency “ time.
 
He's in career-best form. Will give us at least a couple of weeks to see what its like winning the hitouts.

Agree

We should be resting Nank now for the next 3 weeks with Hawthorn,North & Essendon not really having a Gun Ruckman

Soldo's time to shine and show us what he has to offer 23 years old 204cm and 106kgs and dominating the VFL

Its your time Ivaaaan

And you’re so right. give him a block of games.
In one week - out the next does no good.

Nank's injury looked pretty serious. 3 weeks if we are lucky (although not showing much on that front)
 
Big Nank looked to give the old groins a fair tweak yesterday, couldn't jump , run or even hold his ground in a contest. Would be madness to try n rush him back, give him the three or four weeks, whatever is necessary to get him back to premium for the second half of the year.
Big Soldo gets his break glass in emergency moment n must be given a full run at covering for Nank n finding his own niche in the team, he'll have the big Notorious in support so we should be o.k. in coming weeks.
 
How has he been doing in the reserves? Has he been making incremental improvements?
 
Hopefully big Ivan will dish up some humble pie for some posters here who have been calling for his delisting.
 
Little Ivvy has better spread at VFL level than he's given credit for. He works hard. At 22yo he is ahead of where he should be. Will muck in and will tackle.

At the very least deserves his chance. He'll probably kick a goal or three.
 
He's definitely next in line and it will be a change to win more tap outs. Our mids will have to adjust to actually having the ball directed to them at ruck contests rather than scrounging to find it. Could be a revelation...
