So where did you think the stats I cited were from? Exactly the same source - seems I needed to tell you that.
Did you manage to read: " HOs are his strength ... not as good ATG. But marginal improvement ... Nank is the reverse; less than half the av. HOs. Hampson was still ahead on Ms, i50s, DE% !!, CMs, Mi50. ... Nank has his strengths elsewhere." Seems I needed to repeat it.
Unless you have somehow included JLT stats too?
:rofl
Maybe you need to stop getting too excited, Chops. Nank looks very promising but hasn't played one actual real H & A game for RFC yet. Long way to go. You probably haven't noticed but Roos looking at going with Goldy and Preuss; Dees trialled Spencer with Gawn successfully last night. Smart, quality football club like Swans have Tippett, Naismith, Sinclair and took Darcy Cameron at #48 in last draft (23, 201, 101 kg). That's just three examples clubs with strong opposition for Toby. Course, you've never heard of double-teaming a strong opponent?
BTW, when Griff rucks, and quite well, IMHO our FL suffers with just the one tall. Unlike even the Scum who can play Grundy, relieve with Cox, and still keep two talls forward - Moore and White. (Just one more example of the opposition we face in games that matter),
I just want you to tell us. Do you think Nank will be as good as McBean?
Our problem is that our tall stocks are very thin. If Nankervis goes down I would play Griffiths in the ruck but the problem is who replaces him? Elton, Chol , Moore ?
Astbury can play forward but who replaces him ?
Hampson is our back up to Nankervis and that is because our list balance is wrong not because he is any good. Maric is pretty much cooked.
We desperately need Soldo to come on.

It's dawned on another.
Had to work today, so have only seen the highlights and stats. Looks like Nank still put another good game in although, in what looks to be a heavily biased report on that website, it states: '... while Toby Nankervis fought back in the second half after being beaten by Brodie Grundy early in the game.'
Their stats look pretty close really with disposals virtually even, but more marks to Grundy and slightly better DE%, but Nank looks just ahead on CLR and Tackles. But they award Grundy the match-up strongly with AF - 91/72. Looks slanted unfairly, but, as I said, missed the game.
I'd include HOs too, which Nank won 18/14, except Chops and co. on PRE tell me they don't matter one iota.
BTW, where is the Lambster? Strangely quiet tonight? Surely he will arrive later to pump up Nanks' tyres much harder after another highly indicative JLT game. After all, only 23 real games to go. Our ruck ills are cured though ... Nank is IT.

Champion Data had the reverse scenario, Nank comfortably in front courtesy of 5 HOTA.

But you didn't miss that I called the AFL stats, like the article, biased (slanted) twice, of course? Grundy named in their best, Nank not in ours'.
Apparently consistent with whole media including Foxtel coverage.
Makes me puke AAMoF. Still, Nank didn't towel him I'd say.

Either way, you take your third round pick ruck trade making it a a points decision against a former first round pick who is the same age.
I can't believe they played him all 3 jlt games. We're really going to have to monitor his work load over the year, otherwise we risk burning him out like we did Maric.
I def would've rested him against pies

You need to get a grip Leon.
Nanka looks much better than Hampson already. It's about desire for the contest and the invaluable boost players get walking out there with a beast.
Real football things that your flatulent, pompous and misguided defense of Hampson does not take into account.

Understand your thoughts rokka, however considering we played most of our full midfield rotation in each game, I'd say there were trying to get some symotery between the group as quick as possible, also I wouldn't think his game time was huge in each, plus he had Maric, Soldo, Chol and Grif doing a bit in the Ruck over the 3 games.rokkafella said:
Good solid game against a quality mobile Ruck yesterday, like the fact his having shots at goal each game

You've clearly and repeatedly demonstrated your inability to comprehend many of my posts, BS, as again here, and admitted it too. So I'm really not bothered with you much, whether you read them or not. However, puzzled that you'd choose such self-descriptive adjectives to fling at me? Particularly concerned by your puerile repetition of the foul air reference.
Can only think it must be so redolent of your surrounding atmosphere, one of *smile*, which brings it to your limited mind so frequently and easily. I'd suggest keeping it 'your dirty little secret' from hereon.
In Nankervis we have a ruckman that will compete against the opposition ruckman for the entire game. Compete being the operative word, Nankervis will be coming up against better ruckman than himself. Fact. Ruckman who can jump at centre bounces, mark in packs and collect possessions around the ground. Complete packages aka Gawn, Goldstein and Jacobs when he was in form. Nankervis has already displayed a will to compete and a will to win. Hampson does not. Monumental step up.
