Nankervis !!

Would the thought of bringing in Chol to give him a chopout work - Elton's injured but I didn't think Todd showed much in the ruck. At least Mabior has a leap to him even if his ruck craft is not up to speed.
Choi may well be a good pick up for next season but he is way off AFL level at the moment. He goes missing for large parts of a game and at times when he has the bal he has little instinct on what to do. Another year of McRaes coaching and then we will see what he has but right now he would be out of his depth just as the Beanie was last season
 
Who would have thought when we picked Nank up that after Dusty , Cotchin , Jack & Rance that he would be our next most important player
 
Who is the last 22yo ruckman to have such a strong impact as Nankervis. Wouldn't think there'd be too many.

Mike Green 1969 .. won us a flag at 21
Mark Lee 1980 ... 21

Nank is showing plenty. Would love to see him join the above stars.
 
Once they lost their COLA, they were always going to lose two good players. That is what the COLA has been worth to them all these years, two extra good players on their list. Mitchell and Nankervis are those two players.

They may even lose another one this year and that will be due to overpaying Buddy and Tippett.
 
I reckon nank had the better of goldy which is amazing considering his age and size

Nankervis was fourth in line at Swans. He left for opportunity, not for salary. Swans just mis judged his ability. Good to get one up on them, they've historically been pretty good judges and have stolen one or two pretty good players from us over time.

Vice like hands. Made Goldstein look weak in the air.

So much so angry Brad called out Goldy in his presser.

It was a gem, Barnzy. Whingeing about our centre bounce domination when they had a supposedly superior clearance ruck. Something like that.

Anyway Scott paid Nankervis a great compliment. Maybe more so for it being accidental.
 
Gee we need a second duck to give him a chop out though otherwise we will Ivan him.
