He apprantly got 3 free's against when he crossed the line @ centre bounces.
Dimma said it happens 50 times a week and none get paid, Nakas copped 3.
Those were 3 of the softest free kicks you will ever see.
It has
1st 11 games 224 frees for at an average of 20.36 and 279 against at an average of 25.36
last 6 games 114 frees for at an average of 19 and 118 against at an average of 19.6
The outlier was the Geelong rogering, 13 for & 26 against

About f*cking time, the frees for and against have been so consistent for 6 years it is well beyond a coincidence.

Nope. Don't re watch our losses. Hurts bad enough the first time, don't need a second helping of hurt.
As early as 2018 I said we are going break Nank. And his styke of play was going to be a factor. Well I was worried three seasons too early Never saw him as captain material.but I only applaud him for reaching that exalted position.
Hopefully having to carry the ruck with minimal.help for two seasons he can dig deep for however long we stay in it this year. Recuperate and recover over the summer and bounce back in 2023.

I reckon it's time we chased a real tap ruckman.
Nakas is clearly injured and can't play out an entire season on his own
He was horrible out of the middle.
The king of tapouts to opposition advantage.
He's making poor decisions ball in hand, and coughing it up in ways he never has. Nanks strengths have always been his game sense and composure. He's known when to drop back, when to keep the ball in, and when to move it on.
He now seems to be picking the wrong option every time. I don't know whether it's the Captaincy, the injuries, or his years as a one-out workhorse, but given he was already an athletically limited Ruck who is generally a non event in the tapouts, the inability to compete in the contest makes him a liability.
At his best, I couldn't give a stuff about tap outs. He would compete at ground level, make the oppo second guess themselves, get to the right spots and be a marking presence around the ground. He would get stoppages when we need them, or find players outside, if that's what the moment called for. He can't do none of that, and also be a poor tap ruckman.
0 contested marks.
In the last two games he's taken 3 marks TOTAL.
I'm going to say injuries are compounding a run of poor form.
But we can't keep carrying him because he's captain.
