Surely Nankervis would benefit with a decent ruck partner? We could keep ruck pressure up for the whole game including the ability to drop back and compete.

Chol can go wherever he pleases. Not elite or ever will be.

6 years on the list and still insipid. Not up to it. Will play the odd good game here and there but that doesn't cut it.

We were looking good in the last quarter and then lost all momentum when Mabs went into the ruck to give Nank a spell. Six gamer Meek schooled him.

I don't expect Chol to be the beast Nankervis is but in last 3 games, Nanks 35 contested possessions and Chol 13. The difference in desire is chalk and cheese. Chol is what he is, if he can't improve desire after 6 yeas he never will.

Does he have the endurance to play on the wing....? If not, and despite the marginal improvement he has shown this year, we need to trade.

I've been a hoper with Chol but my hope has dwindled. If he stays on the list he will be lucky.

As long as he’s on the list, there’ll be temptation to play him. We’ll keep getting exactly what we’ve seen - occasionally brilliant but mostly ordinary, especially in big moments against best teams. I’ll always remember the disdain Collingwood showed him in the last quarter this year - they knew he was suspect in a contest & not prepared to bust a gut to compete in the right defensive spots. Exploited Chol perfectly & it’s why he isn’t a long term option for us. We have to have better players than that.

If he had Baker's effort he would be a top 5 player, he is as lazy and lethargic as they come.
Brayshaw walked though his plastic tackle attempt.
Made Brayshaw look like Mark Ricciuto. Next time Brayshaw attempts that move he would be standing the mark for holding the ball.
