I just want aggro to protect the little blokes in the centre. Cotchy deserves to be given an even run at the ball without being physically intimidated by opposing rucks who go into packs and fight.
... like Hampson has never done
and like Vickery never did
and like Maric last did consistently in 2014.
We just might see Cotchy return to Brownlow form with this bloke looking after him. This is an astute signing.

Delighted with this - I would genuinely say that this is just about the best value trade of the period so far, slightly above Tom Mitchell (Sam Mitchell I discount as he's 34). Four years development at the team with probably the best football department in the AFL and we got him for the kind of pick we usually use on the likes of Matt McDonagh or Matt Arnott.

Okay so you reckon Maric's aggression had nothing to do with Cotchin's 'Brownlow' year?
Bloody great to have another Tasmanian big man in the ranks - From the North no less.
Go Nank!!!!!
BTW Toby's arse is so big when he sits down he gets taller.
Beautiful!!

Of course time will tell on this selection. Like you, Snakey, there are some things to like and be enthusiastic about the recruitment of Nankervis, but I also see a player who while giving his all (which is great) yet may not have the sufficient skill set to be an out-and-out dominating ruckman.
Anyway, something to get a little excited about over the pre-season, because the idea of Hampson facing-up to the first centre bounce next year doesn't inspire or fill me with confidence.
Finally a good, assertive trade.
Well played.
The brief is for more muscle in the square, no doubt.

Yep, are we building like the Hawks still because most clubs now will be picking footballers like the Dogs have.
Ummmmm..... I would have thought it was a Hardwick game plan given he was the senior coach that year?? :headscratchMidsy said:
I was impressed by what I saw of him late in the season. Hopefully it works out.
Pleasing pickup on the face of it.
