Liked what Maric had to say on him, "Bigger, angrier and more competitive than me"

needs a mullet still
I dare say Maric won't let him grow one until he's earned it

Can replace TV every time he has a brain fade.

Can we play him this week?
How old was Pendles when he decided to pursue afl over basketball? Heck, even look at someone like Blicavs at the Cats. If he's the competitive beast it sounds like, to me that's almost more important than knowing how to kick and handball.
He s playing for northern knights in TAC today

I played school footy with Little Ivvy
, and he had only been playing for a year or so. He would play in the ruck for us and take 30-40 marks a game running back and forth up the ground. We would just kick to a contest with him every time, and he'd nearly always take the grab. He started at 16-17 and before that only had experience kick to kick with mates in the yard. Had basketball, soccer and middle distance running experience though. I don't think 18 is much different to 16 so well worth a shot here IMO and hope the quick learning runs in the family.

Knights lost by 24 points, Soldo not named in the goalkickers or the bests. Can't find any stats/reports anywhere.
and we wasted money on this guy? More questionable recruiting decisions by the tigers especially when we could have got Mason Cox

Some notes from Soldo's first game.....
Ivan Maric’s cousin, Richmond rookie Ivan Soldo, makes football debut for Northern Knights in TAC Cup
HE IS the cousin of Richmond’s mullet-wielding cult figure, Ivan Maric.
And after playing his first ever game of football on Saturday, those with an eye for young talent agree Ivan Soldo is also capable of carving out an AFL career just like his namesake.
Signed by Richmond as a rookie last week, the 18-year-old trained with the Northern Knights before pulling on his boots for the side’s TAC Cup clash with Gippsland Power in Morwell on Saturday.
The 204cm, 106kg former state basketballer played only the first half of the match, but did not look too out of place as he collected one kick, two handballs, one mark and numerous hit-outs.
“He took a little while to get going, but once he did, he really started to get involved in the ruck contests,” Northern Knights coach Andrew Shakepeare said.
“He got some really good hits to advantage and started to find the drop of the ball getting into a few marking contests.
“So, it was a reasonable hit-out for his first game.
“His size is fantastic for AFL football, but also his competitive nature.
“He’s a pretty ferocious customer and we really enjoyed having that, because that’s an area we can improve in, just our attack on the ball.”
