Ivan Soldo

Imagine how good little Ivan is going to be with a couple of years experience at the coalface. Just getting better and better. Probably having Nanks battling with him is giving him that bit extra confidence in his abilities

Best game. Thought his form dropped off a few weeks back, loved every part of his game tonight.
Nic Nat seems to be a ripper young man and a bloody good footballer, in saying that I still think his the most overratted Player by the media , I can remember , his good, but he don’t do a hell of a lot
He sure is. I was messaging a WCE mate and said to him after Nicnat kicked his goal “well, at least I know now he won’t do anything more from now on.” And he didn’t.

Played a very good game and was a wonderful contributor to the win.
Chol would have to do something extraordinary to get his spot back.

Soldo plays better against the better rucks.

Mainly because nullifying Nic Nat is more helpful than nullifying Tom Bellchambers.

But nullify he does.

Nic Nat had about 2 minutes of football tonight, and it was when Nank took his first lot of centre bounces for two months.

Ruck Rout. When a team knows its ruck can place the ball at will at a CB. Set plays. Goal shots. Probably goals.

See the first two CBs of the second quarter. Naitanui popping the ball to set plays. Goals shots. One-sided football. Dominance. It was when we put the underdone Nank in the middle. Was it two goals in two minutes? Ruck Rout.

Nank fought back. He was massively underdone. Our mids tightened up, knowing the oppo ruck would tap to plans.We stemmed the bleeding. But Soldo had to step back in.

It doesn't take many CBs of ruck rout to lose a match. Two minutes. Two goals to them. Ruck rout is game rout. Because CBs. 666.

Ivan Soldo is a defensive ruck stock when he's not winning. He can get some competition for the CB even if he's not winning it because he's big enough. And can read it. Quick hands.

You can't plan to rout Ivan Soldo if you are the biggest reputation in the game.

Here's the rub. Ceglar got a hold of a 26-game Ivan Soldo only a half dozen rounds ago. He's not used to being the target, only the one who targets. But that was an aberration.

How did Soldo go in the big game? And last week? The season is on.

The Soldervis is still the way to go for now. But we need Nank to come on quickly.

He's a warrior and plays with heart good for the team. When he was having a shot at goal 45 out on a 45 angle I made a promise to my wife if he kicked it.

What a joke. The media circle jerk on Nic Nat is cringeworthy.

You could hear the commentators drooling with anticipation regarding Nic Nat.

Soldo barely rated a mention.

Reflective of our team as a whole to be honest. Let them drool over the shinier teams, we will just continue building in the background and click when it matters. They again wont know what has happened.

Soldo is living proof why you should never over pay for a ruck - draft pick wise and salary wise.

Yep. When they crossed to the Fox footy panel straight after the game, Garry Lyon was saying ‘System, system, system...’. We have more than that pal. Talent all over the field.
