But he got smashed in the ruck

Yeah he did in ruck contests but Simpson had just 4 disposals. Generally speaking you can't carry a ruckman of that sort these days in footy. You gotta get the pill too. Wasn't one of Nankervis's best games that's for sure. His worth is nullifying the ruck where possible but getting the opposition with his around the ground work. Didn't happen this time around.
 
What about the perfect tackle against Steven? Charged at Steven who had prior opportunity, smashed him fairly by tackling just below the shoulders and dispossessed him 20 metres out from our goal dead in front.

Yet the cheating umpire paid a free to Steven for "high" contact. Worst decision of the year. And it's quite a field.

Possible the worse call of the night.
Feel for the big fellow. Cant buy a free kick
 
I thought dusty could have got one at the opening bounce that wasn't seen/ not thought worthy.

But yes. Crap call against nank. Fortunately we won anyway
 
Such a competitor, if we can find a key forward / ruck to help him out I think we can be even better, as a genuine around the ground ruck I believe he can offer plenty as a resting forward, doesn’t get out marked and the mosquitoes will know exactly where to get the crumb
 
Nank's willingness and hard work to create options and spread from the contest for his team mates was superb last night.

The umpires don't like him. Gives the most frees away in the league.
