I agree on both counts. Think he infringes in most contests and is hardly pulled up whereas Nank gets pulled up on imaginary infringements. Bloody umpires!

Last time up Grundy destroyed Nank. It's going to be a massive challenge for Toby to nullify his influence.
We can ill afford to let the Pies midfield get their hands on the footy first regularly & I see this as our biggest threat.

pretty much the same as their teams. Collingwood get away Murder while they Tigers get locked up for littering!tigermouseau said:

The last time we played them, Nank was injured with a corkie and spent 20 minutes down in the rooms during the second quarter. The game earlier in the year he broke even / won the match up especially with a dominant last quarter.
What we do know is Nank will work until the final siren and will give everything he's got.

No way. Grundy beat him up till 3q time. Grundy was very good but. Destroyed is overstatement.. Then in the last q Nank stepped up and was key in the win.
This is where the week off should really help up. Grundy has had a trip to Perth and then tough final in the wet last week and now has a 6 day break while Nank will’ve had 15 day break. Should be fresh and ready to run all over Grundy in the 2nd half.
Going to have to ruck linger periods and not allow Grigg to ruck when the pies are I50.
Have to be a lot smarter there.
Please no Jack, Rioli or Cotch taking the ruck.
Most important game coming up Friday ! And our most important player in my eyes.
Needs to be really physical.

I like big Toby, however he does get smashed in the hit outs, in saying that can be a bit of an overrated stat, question is do we continue with just the one ruck ? Or do we ad a fwd/ruck ? Or do we play 2 rucks ? Do we go and try and find another genuine ruck ? I have very little faith in Soldo been a good AFL standard ruck , like what I’ve seen in CCJ , however his a while away yet, is an option of Balta or Chol types a good option as a second ruck? One things for sure as good as it’s been I think we need to move on from Grigga , it’s time to have a competitive second ruck, will possibly ad another way of unpredictability
Nankervis is great against most ruckman in the comp. His inability to go with the good tap ruckman is only a slice of the problem. Not having an adequate back up/relief is the main issue. The reliance on Nank to have good game after good game is just too much. Hopefully Balta can come on as a back up ruck in games. We need to go looking though
was good tonight. Especially early. Got outworked a couple of times in the second half.
But he fights with the spirit of a man with a mullet!

Outstanding. Ran all over Phillips in the end - following up his own taps and getting on the end of a few to kick some goals. Great game by the warrior.
