Gee he was big when Soldo went down. He was crashing into bodies like a wrecking ball. And his skills are incredible for a ruck. Will have a big say in how the rest of our year pans out.

As much as you hate to see anyone injured, Nankervis thrives on being the number one man I think.

I'm very comfortable with him going into finals as first ruck.

Me too. What you lose in ruck contest you gain in ground level pressure. And he's skilled disposer. And he's a good, reliable mark.

He was huge tonight. Cant believe people were jumping off him last week just second game back from injury. He is now critical to our chances this year - and tonight his work around the ground was him at his best.

I think Ivan is harder to cover than we give credit. He's a huge man.

Dimma seemed rattled at his loss.

having said that, we can cover the loss.

I personally believe ruck men win finals, so Ivans loss makes me 10% less optimistic, coming off a very high base.

no, 5%

His positioning to help the defence and intercept was huge in negating Hawkins & co.

Especially against someone like NicNacPattyWack. BT took that from me...

His pressure around clearances post hit out is invaluable as well. Second and third efforts, and sometimes gets on the end of an outlet pass. Foot skills generally very good too
