Ivan Soldo

[CarnTheTiges]

Not even sure why it crossed his mind. Someone above gave his decision to pass it as being from 40m out (that would give his decision some understanding) but as you say it was 30m out on a very slight angle. If you can't take that shot, then WTF are you doing playing AFL footy. We had the flow of the game at that time, we'd kicked the last 2, kick that 1 and we were in the ascendency and within 2 goals. They slingshot it and ice the game.

Stinker of a decision and no idea why he even made that decision, and thats not even taking into account the awful delivery of that kick, floated it on his head, was the easiest kick that their defender will need to spoil in his career.

I think they’re all terrified to take a shot at goal and if they can pass it off to someone else, it then becomes that player’s problem.

Foot problem again.

Not good. Hurts our structure and forces Miller back into the ruck. Hopefully Biggy is the sub.

 

[Tigermad2005]

Rushed back to earl.

He's been battling Plantar fasciitis like Tommy in the pre season.

I dont think Ivvy had surgery for it thoughrather more managenment.

Mightve had a bit of a flare up this week that hasnt settled.

Just to let you folks know that it's precautionary and should only be a week. Soldo hopes to be back for Geelong.

Bugger. He’s a fragile little daisy - quoting my sister.
I wouldn't say it to big Ivvy!!!!

Thanks AT. Pleased for the ol Dara boy. Thought he was Ok first up.

We need him back for Geelong.

Plodder at best.
I think Miller is a better option

Disagree there. Miller will need to be a key back to make it at AFL level.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Glad he's hit a bit of form because big Ivan is going to be very important the next few weeks.

 

[Brodders17]

Soldo is an AFL quality ruck- not Nank quality, but good enough. When both he and Nank were missing it cost us games, but we won't have that excuse over the next 3 weeks.

Two good things about Ivan. He didn't move to Queensland last season and he is fit again just as Nanks is going on an enforced holiday. I could add in a combined third, he is s big lump of a ruck who can tap and negate

There was a time back when Soldo was almost better than Nank ........... lest we forget

 

[Brodders17]

Assuming Nank gets 3, Soldo has 2 warm up games against the Weagles and the Hawks before he needs to put in a big one against the Dees.

That was pre Shovekins. He does give us options, though.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Bit of a wildcard is the Biggest Ivy , we are now going to get a look at a genuine clearance machine with Taranto, Hopper, Prestia , Bolton, Cotchin and Martin roving to Soldo , West Coast probaly won’t be the walk over they have been and unfortunately Nic Nat is out , however this game could be a great starting point for our Soldo lead midfield over the next 5 weeks .

Soldo was moving well in the VFL Thursday so hopefully he can get back to the forgotten form of 2019/20

 

[Smoking Aces]

I am far from convinced with Soldo. Whilst he might win hit outs, he is next to no good around the ground. No good when the ball hits the ground and no real threat up forward. But nonetheless he will get his chance. I hope he proves me wrong.

 

[tigerman]

Ivy has never been quick, but looks to have lost half a yard since doing his knee, but i have no doubt that he'll do a good job.
He can sneak forward, take a grab and snag a goal too which is handy.
