Ivan Soldo traded to Port [merged]

[WilliamPowell]

I agree he was poor and that's being kind

But

They won't drop him, they've said they going to give him a run of games. Can't see that changing

[Rampsation]

Not up to it. Chol is better athletically.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

I'm sure he's a nice guy.

His ruckwork is ok. He tries to get back and do the team thing....

But really, he's a big clumbsy oaf.

[Simonator]

Yep not up to it but best we've got. I think chol would be even worse

[Diocletian]

Barring Hamspud coming out of retirement , I don't see how anyone could be worse....

[big tone]

Why not get 10 games into CCJ?

We all know a 19 year old 200cm ruckman needs to put on muscle but there are skinner and smaller guys playing that go alright.
He just needs to compete and clunk a few marks forward.

Soldo is a waste of time.

Sorry to introduce some facts into this pile on of Ivan but here goes.

Champion data

- Soldo had 28 hitouts. Goldstein had 28 hitouts.
- Soldo had 7 tackles. The most number of tackles by any Richmond player.
- Soldo had 2 marks. Goldstein had 1 mark.
- Soldo had 4 possessions. Goldstein had 11 possessions.
- RFC won the centre clearances 15 to 12 and lost the overall clearances 41 to 42.

Soldo has played about 10 games playing against a 250+ game veteran so while he was beaten on the night it was an honorable loss.

[Jackstar is back!!!]

People keep bringing up Chol
He was totally useless in the VFL on weekend
5 disposals and 2 of those from frees 😂😂😂

He was actually ok
But those who aren’t at the ground can’t see that
My issue with him is his inability to block space in D50
Something Nank does extremely well
Ivan got lost in no mans land on Saturday night
There was plenty of finger pointing by Grimes and Astbury to him
He needs to improve his awareness of opponent when in D50

In fairness,

They were bringing him prior to the VFL game on the weekend. I'm guessing they were encouraged by his previous week, where he was BOG...

But we're talking about 2 guys who will never make it so WGAF really

I'd ruck Broad before either of them. Probably get Grigga back even if he's in a wheelchair

When was our last good tap ruckman?

Ottens?

We always seem to be undersized (Simmonds, Nank, Gale, Dear, Maric) in the ruck.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Otto and Staff were good

Agree. Didn’t jump. Gave up easily in the contest when he thought he couldn’t win.
I lost count even on the amount of centre bounce contests he didn’t even try or jump to contest.  Campbell absolutely slaughtered him.

I had some hopes for Chol and all those went out the window on Saturday as it was the laziest poorest example of a player just going through the motions I seen since Ty “Sideshow Bob” Vickery.

I haven’t seen much of the reserves and I haven’t seen Chol play that much either but what I witnessed Saturday was unacceptable. Maybe he was ill or he’s carrying an injury I don’t know but that was a lazy could not be arsed performance.
There’s no way he gets a game this week.

[Diocletian]

Slomo was arse on Friday night and should be delisted at the end of the year - end of.

[georgies31]

He was the least off our issues Friday night going again a season ruckman and facts back it up.
