Richmond has elevated young ruckman Ivan Soldo from the rookie list to its senior list.

Soldo, who represented the ACT in basketball as a junior, was originally signed by the Tigers as a Category B rookie in 2004.

He’s made impressive progress with Richmond’s VFL team over the past couple of seasons and now is in line to make his AFL debut after being upgraded from the rookie list.

The 204cm, 106kg, 21-year-old is the cousin of experienced Tiger ruckman Ivan Maric.

The final 22 to face the Bulldogs will be announced on richmondfc.com.au this evening at 6.25pm.

2004 when he was 8?

Or 2014 when he was 18?

 I wanted this at the start of the year. Maybe they'll pick him with his cousin this week. ;)

Good luck son and well done.  :clapping

We're not expecting anything.
He's a rookie who's not played until last year?
Good luck to the big kid b

That's all.

Can take a pack mark so that's a start. Is a driven young man who wants to be our number 1 ruckman the start of 2018...this is a good start if selected :clapping

Yep I'd go that way, pick both of them. Puts pressure on the Doggies immediately

Soldo to play the Griffiths / Elton role = mainly forward, ruck chop out in centre of the wing & F50

Good thing is with Ivvy M, you can plonk him the goal square and will give a great contest as well

The unfortunate thing for poor Soldo is that some site experts have written him off already.

So therefore when this green young fella does get a game and struggles early on I can only imagine how they will be pumping themselves as "getting another one right".

Who is the site expert who has written him off? Most people would just be expecting him to provide a contest, nothing more and nothing less.

Good luck Hans, may the tiger force be with you - even if some on the forum are not.
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”
