Past Toby Nankervis - traded 2016, premiership Tiger

[alanlau34]

Yeah, that article above says his skin folds were the 4th worst of anyone. I don't think many people will be able to match the leap NicNat has.

Going through his bulking phase. I've been on that phase for a few years myself

Nickname Nanna? As in we drafted Nanna to replace Mummy

 

[Punts]

Pretty happy with this also , he has played senior Footy all ready which is good and was All Aus , looks like a neat left foot and from his interview doesn't like getting beating.
Wouldn't surprise me if he went passed both Tom and Sam

I'm already on it.

Any relation the the Geelong Nankervis?

Nah, believe he's Brian Nankervis' younger bro.

Nank is making the move to Sydney on Sunday and hits the training track on Monday according to this interview

I like it...

Or the big Nana..

Can we get a chant up if he kicks a goal?

NAB AFL Draft Countdown Meet Toby Nankervis

 

[Wolftone]

I like his aggression, marking & tap work here.

 

[Cadsky]

All aboard the NANKA-TRAIN! Toot toot!

Clearly ahead of Naismith

 

[RW]

Nice bump!

Debuts are always exciting to watch, and a perfect time for him to come in to the team. Hope he grabs his chance! On board.

look out Port, here comes Toby the Tank Engine!

Best post ever

 

[grimlock]

I'm hankering for some Nanker-ing.

 

[ScrewInStuds]

Much to the dismay of that miserable old fart, the Fat Controller (boooo)

Mummy 2.0

 

[Dan87]

I'm hearing his reserves form has been good.
Like his temperament, seems the sort that will go alright in the big time.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Any relation the the Geelong Nankervis?

I've always wondered that. I can only assume that he is.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

He looks very promising. Although if there is one knock on him that i can tell from just watching the highlights video is his leap. A couple of the marking contests he barely got off the ground, i thought it was just me until i read the article RUNVS posted that it does mention his standing leap is terrible. It's something that can be worked on, right? Or is it one of those things you either have or you don't?

Can take a grab, good kick and doesn't seem to have much trouble finding the ball which is good for a ruckman. Look forward to seeing him play for us.

I would think the jump is something you either have or you don't. Bodywork, on the other hand, can be taught.

Toby the Nank Engine?

Not really; different roles. Nannas a ruck/fwd, whereas Naismith is a ruck. Had Pyke been out it could have been Naismith in.

Which one was the brown one? From memory I liked Gorden who was either a big blue or big green train.

Got his chance, no way hell be sub. A nice easy one to settle the nerves would be nice.

 

[Sanecow]

Great Tassie name. Lucky for him Naismith has been struggling with injury but I hope he smashes it!
