What happened?

After playing the first of his half a dozen good games for the year the previous week, he once again proved his unfitness for the captaincy by returning  to his post 2020 form and lashing out due to the embarrassment of getting toweled up by his former understudy and the only ruckman in the AFL even slower than him.... :shh

Was only ever made look good because he was in a great team . Has never ever been a good ruckman. Nor leader..and they want to extend his contract.. he's the classic 80s ruckman.

He’s like the inverse to an 80s ruckman. Not great at tap outs but in our dynasty was an absolute weapon with around the ground stuff and kicking goals.

But I guess with age, his impact on around the ground stuff has diminished so his lack of ability to win a heap of hit outs is really glaring.

Was only really ever good sitting behind play and taking marks. Plugging the holes. Other than that, he relies on being over the top physical, giving away stupid frees to make up for his lack of size, agility and ability.. any ruckman would look great with an inform dusty Cotchin and Prestia... Even Grigg ¡

Geez, some emotional slop on here. This is our 3 time premiership ruckman let's not forget. Our list is atrocious, a bit of respect is due.

I was never in favour of making Nank our captain, a blight on our football department that we failed to develop Vlastuin, Broad, Dusty, Rioli or someone else that should have taken the role. I watched the ruck dual closely, as I was playing English in Supercoach lol, Nank thrashed him in the ruck, both statistically and tap efficiency, so I'm not sure where the comments are coming from that he is cooked and that he was thrashed.

Not to mention we failed to pick a 2nd ruck (stupidity) and he rucked basically all night and injured.

I'm not a Nank fanboy, but the criticism tonight is way over the top. Plenty more pain to come, chuck a few DVD's from 17 - 20, unfortunately the next 2-3 season is going to be building the new dynasty, plenty more of tonight to come.
Go Tigers!

Possibly but until we find our next ruck we need him.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
