Given a game to give him a taste of what its like at the top level. He will never be seen again when he breaks down & we get demolished by 100 pts  ;D

Haven't managed to get to the VFL at all this year bar one half....so can anybody tell me how much Chol has been played in the ruck this year? Regardless of what else he can do around the ground, I would find it quite extraordinary if a bloke with his leap isn't being developed in that position at all.....

I've been to 5 games live, not 4 quarters of all games but I've seen enough.
Chol has wasted away down back in a position that he will never be good at. Decent defenders just like decent forwards are inbuilt to play those positions. There are some that can play both well but not many IMO.
Play this kid forward and let him just concentrate on just getting the footy. Down back he is lost and doesn't know whether to go at the footy or try to defend his opponent.

Cheers. Still like to see him given more ruck time though. He was drafted as a ruck/forward....with these types, it seem in recent times as though we simply just give up on putting any serious development into the ruck aspect of their games pretty early on, as evidenced by Vickery & McBean.

The Tigers will unveil exciting youngster Mabior Chol against the Swans after he's worked hard to add 10kg of bulk to his frame in his first season at Punt Road.

Disappointing - was at least expecting him to play much better than McBean has at AFL level considering he's supposedly been ahead of him since the first NAB Challenge match..... :shh

Looked shell shocked to me.

Funnily enough he looked more comfortable down back, which is strange, seems how we keep hearing on here that he is a natural forward and not a natural back man......

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Well it may be due to the fact he's played the last 10 weeks down back.... :whistle
