They’ve dropped the report of him kneeing a north player in the head.
Video showed there was no knee in the head.
Never happened
Nutmeg Christian will fine him for “potential to cause injury”
”You missed by that much”

Love Nank but he has been a liability at times this year.
He should not be captain because it doesn't look good when you drop the captain.
He is great around the ground and has suprisingly quick hands but I am sick to death if being belted at clearances.

Is it him? Or is it the mids?Reckon the problem with clearances would be negated if they played a little more one on one at least your not second guessing where the tap goes.

He was clearly the best ruck on the ground yesterday. dont think i will ever watch a minute of that game again, but live it looked like he was paid frees against 3 times at CBs for doing things that happen every bounce. and evidently he never kneed a roo in the head.

The report was ridiculous. The umpires were gunning for him on the weekend. Everything he did they had him in their sights. I wonder if his physicality has been discussed at HQ?

The Nank gets worn down during a long season - it's tough competing at his size when you can't jump.

Griggs has retired so can't see Nank being dropped

Report by that brainless flog was 'thrown out'. Not sure what he dreamt up.
So Nank....reported and a fifty against...but not guilty.
Stewart. ..reported...no fifty paid...found guilty.
Draw your own conclusion.
Rank amateurism umpiring...or is it ?

I read that Nank copped 6 frees against after that report. Another witch-hunt.

Yes 3 in a row . He was very confused by those decisions.
Absolutely no doubt he was targeted and then punished by the poor quality , pre-directed umpires to set an example.
We have seen this multiple times previously.
Very very poor and unprofessional umpiring department at AFL.

I just couldn't stand the arrogant tone in that number 31 flog's voice when reporting Nank. It's like he was 100% sure he committed a crime.

Wow clearances have suddenly become a Nanks issue. Average clearances per opposition, 2022 15th, 2021 18th, 2020 16th, 2019 16th, 2018 18th, 2017 11th, 2016 12th, 2015 11th.

We didn't recruit to be a gun clearance team. And that hasn't changed. How many of our younger guys are inside bulls? Tap rucking is over-rated, the cattle at ground level is what counts. Perfect example, Demons have one of the best ruckmen going around, won the hit out count easily but they were smashed in clearances by Port 27 to 40. Our pressure game was taken away from us by the AFL. You recruit to your game style and this can't be changed overnight.

It's not a Nanks issue, he is getting more hitouts than ever in his career but he was never recruited for that to be his strength. Our issues run much deeper than that.
