Ivan Soldo traded to Port [merged]

[Rampstar]

I think we should give the boy a chance. Hes a fantastic size. He is also a cro so he should have some ingrained mongrel in him which all ruckmen need.

[Damo]

I have no problem with doing it.

Free throw at the stumps list and cap wise.

IMO it's a proactive move and I hope it works out.

I was more pointing out the BS that was posted.

[Yeahright]

Lets try again - there is a lot of potential upside to this recruitment and no downside.

If he's a dude then we have lost absolutely nothing.

This is a good news story not another opportunity to take a pot shot

Agree

But unfortunately, like it or not, agree with it or not, the Club by their actions this season have created the angst/anger that is directed at everything they do.

Yep and theirs a word floating around that address that phenomenon, it's called Tigeritis™®©. Where supporters get unhappy and blame Richmond for absolutely anything they can

they deserve everything they cop. 34 years of ongoing failure. they should just cop it on the chin and try and improve their own performances. When they start to get some success the supporters will get off their backs.

There will still be players who people under rate, coaching decision that are questioned, recruiting decisions queried, progress argued and development debated. That's fine but hopefully people would spend a greater percentage of time enjoying the moment and smelling the roses after bringing home a flag.

We'll find out soon anyway

This ol darksider isn't perturbed in regards to this situation.

Could b nothing - could be ok.

If we wanted to nab a giant lump of wood I'd have thought Ricky Lounders boy would just about be ready

Soldo solid in football debut

Richmond’s rookie-in-waiting, Ivan Soldo, made a solid start to his Australian Football career last weekend.

The cousin of the Tigers’ No. 1 ruckman, Ivan Maric, who was signed by Richmond as a three-year, non-registered Category B rookie last week, lined up for TAC Cup team the Northern Knights in their clash with Gippsland Power at Morwell.

Soldo, a former state basketballer, played only the first half of the match, but acquitted himself admirably.

The 204cm, 106kg, 18-year-old finished with one kicks, two handballs, one mark and plenty of hit-outs in his ruck role.

Coming along very nicely Ty, another ace from the bottom of the pack from that wily one fj.........again

Stefan Martin, playing great footy for Brissy, didn't start playing footy til he was 19.

I did not realise it at the time but back in march I umpired a reserve practice match between Albury and Queenbean. The big ruckman from Queenbean was called Ivan and he carved up in the ruck and was very good around the ground. I found it strange to begin with as the onballers were giving him instructions on where to go and where to positions himself. It was a hot day, about 32 degrees so they rested him in the fourth quarter so he could help out the seniors. He played very well.
I only found out yesterday that it was Ivan Soldo.

That's promising then yandb. I hope he continues to develop and proves a lot around here terribly wrong
