Have thought from some time that Toby is one of 2 players we could least afford to lose. The other being Rance.
Soldo tries no doubt but it's a significant downgrade in a very important position.
Hope his injury doesn't cost us the season but am genuinely concerned it will.

There’s 3. Jack is the other one. We won’t match good sides without all three of them.

Its Nakas fault. What did Hardwick expect him to go through 5 seasons without any injury.
We are crying out for a tall defender & Ruckman.
Ruckman like soccer goalkeeper...totally different to rest of team.
a great one can win you games, a crap one makes it very very hard to win.
Nank has been our ticking time bomb since he arrived... injury was unlucky but we were wearing him down with the limited on field support.

Does undermines the plaudits for the football dept professionalism. Backups two project players.... And we kept a crock in Hampson on year after year. It's a lot more bad mgt then bad luck
Will most likely come back into the side against the salary cap cheats.
We ended up covering his loss a lot better than i expected. Not sure what combination we will go with, i think it will probably be Nank and big Ivy. If both of them play it will interesting to see how it effects the balance of the side.

What an incredible season.
We polled the players we could least afford to lose last year,
and from memory Nank, Rance, Jack, Cotchy made up 80% of the top 5.
We lost about 50 games out of them in one season
and we are favourites for the flag.
what are our numbers on clearances with and without Nank over the last 2 years?

Nank to me is like an in between version of Soldo and Chol. He moves around the ground and is versatile, chases and tackles hard, kicks goals. whilst he is well built enough then he can generally hold himself in the ruck - though struggles against bigger opponents in tap outs. Soldo is a classic ruck, strong and physical not easily pushed around and wins his fair share of taps outs; he also chases and tackles more each game he plays. Chol is a string bean at the moment however agile, skilled and smart, and kicks goals - much less physical right now as he does not have the physique. They all balance each other well.
I believe we have the luxury of playing any 2 together and it would work. The notion that Nank and Soldo cannot play together is a furphy to me.
Nank being out has provided a surprising positive insight of what Soldo and Chol are capable of at AFL level - and it seems to have helped their development enormously in a short period of time.

There is a certain logic about the notion that playing both Nank and Soldo wouldn't work. The issue being that they are too similar and we end up with 2 large not so fast rucks in the team as opposed to 1 large ruck and 1 less large but faster ruck.
That said, with Nank's abilities around the ground, and with Soldo being able to handle really tall rucks and improving on his around the ground work, I would give it a go. I understand the logic of the argument not to have Nank and Soldo together, but I'm not convinced.
There is also talk of picking our rucks to suit the opposition. Well, how about we pick our rucks to suit our game and let the opposition change their team to try and deal with us?
