Can anyone shed any light on a story that we have rookie listed Ivan's cousin Ivan?

Sign him up for 10 years if that's the case.
 
The NEAFL Tigers unleashed 18 year old 204cm major position player Ivan Soldo whose sporting background is more akin to basketball than footy but as a developing ruckman showed outstanding promise in his first full game of AFL.
 
So that was Ivan, I umpired the seconds in which he played three quarters then was rested to help out the seniors (it was a 32 degree day). I would have given him 3 votes for his domination in the ruck and his work around the ground for the first three quarters.

I was bemused on occasion as the onballers were giving him instruction on where to run to and position himself.

I believe he will quickly pick up the required skills and become our no 1 ruckman in the next 4 years

Go Ivan

Given he was awarded a 4 year development contract and he'd never played footy you'd only assume so wouldnt you..
