Toby Nankervis [merged]

[the claw]

A ruckman that doesn't take decisive marks around the ground isn't helping the team as they should. Granted he goes in and his contested work has always been good but don't give away the free kicks. What's  the norm for a ruckman as well as taking crucial marks around the ground either down the line or in defence ie. 2020 preliminary final 4 marks helping us over the line   
Time to make Balta a permanent ruckman.

If you do the leg work and look up marking stats for rucks then i think you will be surprised at how few most of them take.
There are some ouliers that go both ways but Nankervis is nowhere near the bottom.

Regarding drafting ruck men, I think 18yo ruck men are not up to it, they take too long to develop and when young are injury prone.
We need to be looking for a 24/25 year old who is not getting opportunity elsewhere as per Toby.

I am sure our club has a view on who is in the mix
