Nankervis !!

He’s been a tremendous player for us. Heart and soul warrior. But can’t recall a worse game from him. Destroyed by a total spud in Tom Hickey. Tom *smile* Hickey!!

Lift big fella!
He plays a lone hand.
CJ needs to come in and help out.
Hickey was running forward, everyone in the crowd could see it, but the coaches box didnt.

Really I thought he was good, but sold an absolute pup with the centre bounces by the umps. When the ball actually went up kind of straight we seemed to win our fair share of the centre clearances, when it went off and outside the circle always seemed to be to the swans advantage. Haven't seen a group of umps bounce the ball so poorly before.

Thought Hickey killed him around the ground as well as in the centre notwithstanding the dud bounces. When Hickey is drifting forward and kicking 2 goals you’re having a shocker. Hickey is a spud.

Time to play two genuine rucks. Get our structure back. Chol has to be considered.
Balta is needed full time against Dixon.

Hickey was rotating with Mclean in the ruck, so Nank wasn't necessarily on him when he floated forward.
 
This Chol pining is ridiculous and sad. Nank will outlast and outshine the pea hearts on here as he has each of the last 4 seasons. CCJ will come in soon and will ease his way in to being the master's apprentice.

It’s about structure Lamb. And we lose a lot when Balta goes in the ruck.

Bringing Chol back against Port would be as smart as leaving Egg in against Port.

CCJ needs to get senior games when he is out of suspension, with the significance of the centre clearance in the AFLX game we now have, we need 2 rucks. Chol has not shown that he qualifies as a ruck.

Throughout our period of dominance we looked the most untouchable when Soldo and Nank rucked together.

We suddenly had zero weakness in our side.

Our next best combination has been Nank and Balta. Though this hurts us back, especially without Vlossy.

And then Nank and Grigg.

And then Nank and no one.

And then Nank and Chol.

And then Soldo and Chol.

Nank has truly been remarkable.

Chol is not the answer.

*smile* Tom Hawkins.

It’s left field, I know, but would it be worth giving Ryan a run? Can’t give us less than Chol does.

I don’t give a *smile* which ruck we bring in whether it’s Chol, Sampson or Delialah but we can’t go in with just Nank.
 
Chol has weaknesses but Nank needs asssistance. And Balta will be needed down back. In the past it has been suggested that his particular skillset is well suited to a wing. I prefer him to Naish. He kicks better, he marks better and he is faster.:peepwall

I think Ryan is closer than a lot of people may think.

The club is thrilled with what he's shown so far.
