Nankervis !!

Will open up space for others with his size and use of it. Also can take a grab.

Not a perfect game yet better than we've had.
Solid start from the young ruck. Strong & slightly clumsy.
He's going to leave plenty o bodies in his wake.

Most rucks are a tad bit clumsy, with our reinforcements in the midfield I think Nank is the perfect compliment. It's pretty clear to me that his apprenticeship at the Swans has been massive in his development. Hard, tough & uncompromising footballer.

Just what we need.

A ruckman who can actually have an impact around the ground.

A good age and still room for plenty of improvement.
Yes. Given that Maric looked like he can't move any more Nank is exactly what's needed. Him and hamster can fight it out
 
The ol' 1-2 when Kmac chucked Eddie under Nankers boots was a bit of a highlight. I swear Nankers took a couple of short steps.
 
He looks like Maric 2012 incarnate. Possibly with a little more ball winning ability.
 
Will be a great pick up for us foe years to come. Gotta fix his kicking tho as he shanked a few. But he is a ruckman

Where do I collect my money. In the last two years when we have played Ivan without Hammer and visa versa the team stats are

Hammer only 23 games, 901 Hitouts, 730 Clearances
Ivan only 22 games, 789 Hitouts, 781 Clearances

Pretty sure the clearance problem is Hammer not the midfielders.
And the trend continues, more clearances than hitouts tonight, not to mention Nank actually taking posession of the ball occasionally when it entered his galaxy.
 
Looking very promising. hopefully Maric is now put out to pasture.

He did shank a few but he looked quite classy for a big unit. Very impressed with the way he moved around the ground
