In the Mix - Round 21Sarah Black

6 Aug 2019RICHMONDGet them in: Ruckman Toby Nankervis has done everything possible to get an AFL call-up after two halves and now a full game in the VFL. Usual winger Kamdyn McIntosh continues to play in defence in the seconds, recording 16 disposals and seven marks. Youngster Patrick Naish (26 disposals, nine marks) has continued his strong VFL season, while mid-season recruit Marlion Pickett (20 and a goal) found plenty of the ball in his first match.
Under the pump: Unfortunately it's rinse and repeat for Ivan Soldo, whose stunning soccer goal from a throw-in won't save him if Nankervis returns. Small forward Dan Butler (eight disposals) didn't have a big impact on his return to AFL.
Medical room: Dynamic utility Sydney Stack (calf soreness) is likely to be a test after missing last round, while skipper Trent Cotchin is still a week or two away.
Verdict: Another week in the twos building match fitness for Pickett, while Nankervis should come back at the expense of Soldo. Stack for Butler if fit.
