It is. He and Grimes have both done it the hard way. It’s very Richmond.From a fringe player at one club to 3 time premiership player and now club captain of another. Incredible really.

Don’t think he’s the type of guy who talks just to hear his own voice.He spoke pretty well on SEN1116 yesterday. Think people will be surprised at how well he communicates. He's not as "quiet" and reserved as everyone thinks he is.
Yep, the big fella will lead by example, a good choice.I wasn't expecting to see Nankervis announced as captain, but when I saw the announcement, it immediately felt right.
TBR,Agreed, I'm not sure I've ever heard him speak before to be honest. Think we all just saw him make a goose of himself with BT and assumed he couldn't communicate well.
Nank wasn’t the one that made a goose of himself with BT. Taylor did that all on his own.Agreed, I'm not sure I've ever heard him speak before to be honest. Think we all just saw him make a goose of himself with BT and assumed he couldn't communicate well.
Yep, no way Nank was a goose.Nank wasn’t the one that made a goose of himself with BT. Taylor did that all on his own.
Can’t do that with BT. Give him an inch, he’ll take a mile. Roaming Brian was cringeworthy.Disagree, it was rude and unnecessary. Just answer the question politely and move on like everyone else does, grateful that small intrusions like that allow you to make 400k+ a year to play a game.
I reckon there's only ever one winner if you bite at the media, just creates content for them. I felt for Nankervis the other night when the news had his Captaincy announcement and they played that moment.
It shouldn’t be part of the job though. His job is to play footy and the occasional media stuff. Having some absolute *smile* wit hanging around the rooms after the game jamming a mic in their face is *smile* ridiculous.I agree but it's part of the job so you need to man up and do it.
It's like Dustin and post match interviews. He doesn't want to do them but the media has the option to grab any player they choose so he just cops it sweet and gets it over with.

If our media team is smart I'm tipping you'll see Nank and BT have a bit of a light hearted burying of the hatchet early in the season.
Agree, I just personally think that sort of access is going way to far.No doubt, I get the BT is a flog and copped what he deserved viewpoint, but lots of people would be cool if he belted Selwood or dragged a Port supporter over the fence because he was lipping off at him as well.
It's what pays the bill though Ky. Can't expect media to pump billions into your pockets if you don't give them the access they want.
Anyway, moving on, not to take away from the appointment. I'm sure he will have reflected and take a different approach now he is the skipper.

To your last point, I’m sure he’ll be fine. Pretty sure I saw him interview not long after that, and he said he was embarrassed and wasn’t sure what he was thinking. Said he reckons BT is a top bloke which was clearly stretching the truth too far.
****, if it was raining ***** we'd cop an arse hole.Chl 7 had vision of Toby going in for scans on his knee.
Looked to be walking ok but knee bandaged.****, if it was raining ***** we'd cop an arse hole.
Oh, well Soldo and Balta won't be a bad combo.
