Sudden impact: Who is the surprise performer at your club?

RICHMOND

Ruckman Toby Nankervis has been arguably the most important of the Tigers' off-season recruits in the opening two rounds. The big man has brought a physical presence to the stoppages, having a big impact at ground level as well as in the air. In round two, the 22-year-old had an equal team-high seven clearances and an equal game-high 14 contested possessions. The Tigers have had to keep an eye on the former Swan in training since he arrived, given his rough-and-tumble approach, but they are thrilled with his physicality on game day. Dan Butler and Jason Castagna have come from the blue to add pace and pressure to the forward line.

Conca has been excellent in  all 3 games . Great to see .

Grigg playing well without his boyfriend too - kicking crunch goals .

Lennon has done alright in his two games .

Astbury has not been his usual useless self - keep it up David.


The Amigos has exceeded all expectations and are so exciting to watch .

Conca in the last match - thought he was just ok in the first 2 rounds

Ellis - looks so much better, is getting less of the ball but when he gets it hes a lot more direct now - have seen him cracking in hard the past 2 weeks as well, love it.

Grigg - has been a genuine contributor

The Amigos - with just how much impact theyre having - they set the tone for the rest of the side.

Season hasn't really started cooking yet....the likes of Conca, Grigg, Lambert, Houli & BEllis are all likely to get found out again when the heat gets turned up...

Jack, Cotchin leading the team with tackling pressure.
The club that keeps giving.
