Ivan Soldo

[yandb]

He changed the dynamics of our center work, gave Dusty some nice taps.

To all those knockers a bit of humble pie is in order.

Great game Ivan.

 

[seven]

What a difference.
Done so every nice things

 

[Willo]

Good game still a lot of upside in his game. It would be a big bonus if he gets there

 

[MalenyTiger]

very good game. our mids would have enjoyed the first use of the ball at ruck contests

 

[spook]

Dusty had 9 clearances and 6 of those were put on a platter by Soldo. A few more games like that and Nank has a battle on his hands.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Definitely gets a few games on the trot after that performance.

 

[Harry]

Dusty was loving the silver service

 

[pete and tys]

Wow, what a difference a tall ruckman in the centre clearances makes.
Massive benefit for our mids ie Dusty.
Will be interesting when Nank fit again.
May need to look at restructuring the side.

 

[TT33]

Nank can be another "Big Bodied mid" ;D

Must teach him how to put knee into Grundy's sternum.

I’ve been asking for soldo to play and put nank foreard.

See here’s the thing

Rance Astbury grimes
Balta lynch Riewoldt
Soldo Nankervis

Very 80’s and tempting on paper but won’t work on grass in this modern age.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Loved his tap work but Ceglar owned him in the air.

That’s not great. And what makes Nank so more important.

 

[Ridley]

Loved his tap work but Ceglar owned him in the air.

Agree with all of that.

He’ll get a chance to switch his gane up.

 

[TigerFlag2017]

Definite improvement in the kid. Solid game.

 

[smokin joe]

Reason we won the clearances
Our mids would have loved all those tap outs down there throats
Great first game of the year for the big man

 

[Scoop]

Perfectly adequate back up.

Who showed today that 18 months he might not be a back up.

Still only 23. Baby ruck. Nank, Soldo & Balta.

Ruck stocks haven’t looked that healthy in a long time.

 

[craig]

Biggest issue is that he doesn’t get around the ground enough and also need to hit packs harder with his size

 

[evo]

Looked great at the ground. Felt like the first time this year we were owning the centre clearances.

 

[Tigers2011]

Spot on. While not a great mark, he needs to compete more strongly to make sure opposition ruck doesn’t mark it. Massive positive for us in clearances though - especially the centre bounce.
