Funny that both Kruezer and Grundy were considered BOG for their respective sides, yet no one feels at Nankervis hasn't delivered.

Played a very good game last night and I gave him a vote. But I reckon Grundy played a fantastic game and was clearly Scumwood's best. Sounds a bit odd but anyway.......... :headscratch
Nankers was just beaten by a better player on the night but still was a good contributor for us; and as easy mentioned he was huge in the last few minutes.
I love having him at the club. I liked what I saw of him at Sydney and was very happy when I heard the club was targeting him. Good old fashioned ruckman who can take a grab and kick a goal. Gives us something around the ground.
Good player.

If you wanna know who beat who, watch the footage of Grundy diving after candy like a hypoglycemic 2 year old, while Nankervis sells it, packages it, and lets him taste test it, before theiving it away from him agility and precision of a mountain cat.
Then also look at the score.
Point Nank.
Also, Nankervis is actually my new favourite player. May have to shift the 8 off my jersey, and get the big 25 on there.

yep, Grundy looked nearly broken right then. He'd given alot, but Nankers broke him in the end.

Good summation - fair enough that Grundy played well but Nankervis competed well and provided us with something too. At 22, we have a genuine player to work with in the ruck position.
Interesting night.
At the 20 minute mark of the last quarter, I would have said that there were many good players on the field, Grundy, Treloar, Martin, Cotchin, Pendlebury, Hoskin-Elliott (poor start but great last quarter) and Nankervis.
In the last ten minutes, Nankervis and Martin were the clear match-winners. Dusty almost scored the winning margin off his own boot in the late part of the game and Nankervis got right on top of Grundy. Did he outmark him three times in the final minutes, or just twice?
It will be interesting to see what the two coaches think on Tuesday.

SC points in the end had Toby at about 119 and Grundy 109.
Stats very similar except that Grundy got more hitouts and we won more clearances.
9 possessions in the last quarter after having to ruck solo (bar Grigg's magnificent cameo) after Griff got injured tells you what you need to know about the man.

Grundy won the battle, Tigers won the war in which Nankervis was a major contributor - confused
Hoping Nank has a day out next week against the weagles as who ever their ruck is wont be in the Kruezer / Grundy league

Disposals 21, Kicks 12, clearances 7
Number of times Hampson has achieved any of these numbers, 0
Even sweeter, number of times Naismith has hot any of these numbers, 0
Told all my mates to put him in Fantasy teams before JLT, he's making me look like a genius.

Love this guy. Is tough, competes, clunks the ball better than almost anyone, and plays smart.
And only 22.
If he can stay healthy- he could be one of our best recruits in a long time. Quality ruckman don't come along often. Especially at 22.

Don't underestimate his footy IQ.
Someone mentioned last year that a Tom Mitchell highlight clip usually had a little Nank Handball form congestion to set him free.
Very good at the well weighted 1 or 2 metre handball to set a mid free (sometimes over the shoulder), very much like all those handballs Sidebottom, Pendles and Treloar were shooting out all night from packs.

Loving the Nank so far.
Just hope we don't burn him out. Really hope that Soldo comes on in a hurry to lighten the load.

It was a battle of the heavy weights.
Grundy was cooked by 3/4 time.
Our boy kept going right to the end.
