Keep him in with Toaby and stuff Elton off.
yep

Double yep. Can see why those would want to continue  playing Eltons delight but Hans has upside.

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”

Hampson-esque :clapping
At least for him it was his first game and has lots of upside... unlike the other who has dished up the same poo year after year

Soldo was great last night and loved how he gets first hand to the ball. Will only get better over time when be gains confidence. Can mark and kick.

Reserving judgement for his ruck work when he competes against a genuine ruck

I grew up with Yugos, as they were referred to then and one thing I love about them is they're stuffn mad which translates to passion.
The athletic ones are bloody good and will try and hurt blokes.
Give him game time with Big Toaby and reckon he will surprise us all.

Can't be worse than fkknuckle.

Ok so he won 40 odd hit outs. He has a lot of potential but did any hit a richmond man? That's as much his fault as the mosquito fleet at his feet.  He has much to learn but he's a keeper.

We like what Soldo's selling

Richmond's confidence had grown in the past six months that Ivan Soldo would grow into an AFL player and on Saturday night we saw why. The 21-year-old made his debut three years after joining the Tigers as a project rookie, and the big strides he has made were obvious early, both in the centre square and in marking contests around the ground. Soldo received his jumper pre-game from cousin Ivan Maric after edging the veteran for selection this week as the Tigers looked to replace suspended big man Toby Nankervis. With Nankervis due back against Fremantle next week, Soldo will likely return to the VFL, but after 42 hit-outs against the Bulldogs, the Tigers have proof their project has delivered results.

Considering his history, not quite a nayptural but potentially something better than what we've had.
