Seems like a good player to upgrade if we need to or for reward. He went ok last year too.
Seriously?! After one preseason game you're willing to give him the nod?
No, if you read my post I said.."he went ok last year too"
So did Nank
Nank is actually on the list proper though and does not need upgrading.
Besides the above is open to opinion id say, because statistically at least he was pretty ordinary.
Last yr he managed just 7 games being over looked for others.
For a big Ruckman who we hope can go fwd he went at
11 disposals
1.7 marks
0.5 contested marks
0.3 goals
14 h/o
He did lay 5 tackles a game though.
Clearly we took him for his upside and like most i like what he does without the ball and he shows more than enough to suggest all others areas will improve at this level no hesitation in playing him in front of Hampson though his aggression and willingness for the contest puts him in front of hampson by some margin.
But he sure as hell will have to significantly improve on those stats.
