“Clearly now we’ve got some good ruck depth,” Dan Richardson said.   

“Ivan (Maric), importantly, we signed on for another year . . . and Shaun Hampson, we know, had a really solid year.

“We certainly see Toby being able to complement those guys.

“And throw in Ivan Soldo, who’s still young and developing, and Ben Griffiths, who’s capable of playing that forward-ruck role as well.

“Competitions for spots will be tough in that area of the ground, but that’s a good thing for us.”

Tigers’ Tall Timber


Player Name          Ht     Wt

Ivan Soldo           204     103
Shaun Hampson   201     106
Ivan Maric            200     102
Ben Griffiths         200     101
Toby Nankervis    199     106
Mabior Chol         198       78
Todd Elton           197     101

Well Soldo is a rookie.
Maric is past it and just a "break glass in emergency" type for 2017.
Griffith is REALLY needed at CHF.
Choi is both a rookie and a third tall.
Elton is a third tall.
It is just a hopeful guess as to how Nankervis will go in 2017.

So we have Hampson and Nankervis.
I was hoping that we could have got Tom Downie as part of the Lids deal but probably the pick 50 is a better deal.
From what I've heard he really wants out of GWS back to Victoria.

If Dan the Man's seriously counting Elton, Chol & Griffiths as "ruck depth" than we actually have one less ruckman with the departure of Vickery & McBean and the arrival of just Nankervis ...

Unbelievable the lengths people and organisations will go to, to spin a situation into a positive. Like dioc mentioned above, if we're going to start counting those guys we're actually a man down to what we were last season. Dumb stuffs

Soldo is in  his third year now isn't he? He ought to come good soon you would think. Good enough to get a game or two this year anyway when we are 5 and 15.

Eh maybe not he only 21 this year and he has been signed for 3 years as a rookie. So he has another year after this one. Let's hope he gets a game
