Dimma clearly saw something the rest of us didn't playing two rucks yesterday :huh3 and going by what he said post-match will play both Soldo and Nank again.
Tick for Tigers’ tall timber

17 July 2017
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick was pleased with the collective output of the team’s big-man combination of Toby Nankervis and Ivan Soldo in yesterday’s 31-point victory over Brisbane at Etihad Stadium.
The Tigers selected Soldo for the match to provide Nankervis with some much-needed back-up in the ruck department, and the 204cm, 106kg, 21-year-old, playing just his third AFL game, did just that.
He had eight disposals, two marks, four tackles, 23 hit-outs and, along with Nankervis, helped Richmond gain the important first use of the ball at the centre bounces and around-the-ground stoppages throughout the contest.
Nankervis, who became a big target at times for the Tigers up forward, through the addition of Soldo in the line-up, finished with 18 disposals, including 10 contested possessions, four inside-50s, four marks and 14 hit-outs.
“I thought Soldo in and around the ruck contest was very good,” Hardwick said.
“He’s still learning the game . . . he’s been playing for three-odd years.
“He’s got a bit of an area for improvement, but I love what he gives in and around the contest.
“And ‘Nank’, up forward, provided a contest a number of times.
“He gave off a couple (of goals). Probably didn’t get to be the marking option inside 50 we were looking for, but mainly that was because of our ball use inside 50.
“So we’ll have a look at it again, I think.”

We could probably play two good ruckman....unfortunately we currently only have one....
-
I would like us to experiment with a full team of ruckmen, tactical genius. Instead of tapping it down to a rover, tap it up to another ruckman and just play keepings off. If you don't like my plan, get stuffed.

Lol Genius.

Really didn't notice Nank on the ground much.
Was hoping he'd do more in the F50 but delivery was terrible let's be honest...
-
No we cant because Ivan S is nowhere near it atm.
We just need a player who can give Nank a becent chop out for short periods. But we need desperately a few tall fwds .
Havent totally given up on Elton and he is a better overall option than Soldo ATM and i reckon Moore has to be played ive thought that all yr.
And before people jump up and down I know the cupboard is bare but lets at least TRY and address the elephants in the room.

With Griff going down again, it looks like we'll have to persist with playing both Nank and Soldo for the rest of the season. Hard to see Elton getting another go.

Yep.
Thought we were so much better when Nank went into the ruck. Though in fairness I thought Soldo's final qtr was good
-
Elton no chance?.I still believe has a role to play.
-
With the weather forecast it shows how little options we have. List Management very poor. Seems each year for the last 3 years we have had a glaring hole. Small Forwards and Ruckman the last 2 years and now a key position forward.

Up against man mumford i think soldo did ok apart from giving away a few stupid free kicks.
Our hit out to advantage was only 4 for the game?

Just quietly I think our clearance stats are on the up since we have had the Soldo/Nank combo
-
Soldo is doing his job and that's all you ask for.Kid only played game couple of years and only 20 years old keep that in perspective yet holding his own against more senior afl rucks.Yeah he needs to compete more around the ground but most ruckman blossom when they hit 24 snd 25.

Could we play Casboult and Nankervis?

Like the look of Close could be a good get.Goodwin looks interesting to.
-
I would definitely consider Close as another potential forward for us. Looks as though he can take a grab. Averages 19 possessions and 10 marks.
Already looks better than Elton and vickery combined And more durable than TheBigGirlGriff.
Close is already behind Schache, Hipwood and walker for a senior call up.

We'll find out this weekend ;)
