Interesting indeed. Play Soldo as first ruck and have someone more competitive v Mummy ( but pretty useless around the ground) or have Chol play first ruck and be less competitive v Mummy but have a more mobile and efficient player around the ground.
One thing with Soldo , he won’t be afraid to get in Mummy’s face

And Riewoldt won’t play forever.
I used to think Moore is the heir apparent but we now all know that it’s likely to be Chol.
Not sure Moore will be at the Tigs next year. The Pies were right into him last year but he decided to give himself one more season at Tigerland. Injury hasn't helped him this year, but with Jack down he still wasn't getting a look in pre injury.

Roos were interested too weren’t they frick ? IMHO his not up to AFL level, however I wouldn’t have minded seeing him get sometime off half back , super athlete

He's looking like Roger Merrett these days with that mo', a bit of Rogers bastardry wouldnt go astray v Mummy.
I always like to test the big tough blokes out, a lot of em don’t like it comin back the other way , Ivy2 May just spook the big Mummy.

Funny enough my sons opposition had a bit of a big thug throwing his weight around on Sunday, the little fella crunched him a beauty and we didn’t see the big fella for the rest of the afternoon ;)

Not the best conditions for a rookie bigman, but he knows what he needs to do to keep his spot and does it. Continue to be impressed.

What a spew he missed that goal in the square. *smile* of a ball bounced that high in wet grass.

He's a lovely kick, and I had no idea he had such footy smarts. Very exciting

Watching him at the ground, I actually thought he was pretty poor. Seemed to bludge a bit, and wait for the ball rather than attack it.

He also looked pretty ineffective in the ruck.

I'll have to watch the replay to get a better idea.

that is interesting burger. It doesn't really contradict my take, he was good when he had it or was in the contest, could he have hit more contests? I dunno. either way I thought it was a pretty solid effort from a 5th game big man in the wet. Had a couple of brilliant moments that went a long way towards earning his dough.
