Mr Emergency: Who's always left waiting in the wings?

IT'S NOT easy to be your club's second ruckman, especially if your side is the reigning premier.     

That's what Richmond's Ivan Soldo is discovering this season, as he waits to play his first senior game of 2018.   

Soldo made his AFL debut last year and managed seven games, and all but one was alongside eventual premiership ruckman Toby Nankervis.     

This season however, he hasn't been so fortunate. The Tigers only have room for one ruckman in their side, that spot goes to the flag winner.   

Soldo instead has been made to wait and has been named as an emergency on 12 occasions, the equal-most in the League.       

Who's been named emergency the most at your club?


Richmond: Ivan Soldo (12)
