Player Watch #25: Toby Nankervis

[JAKLAUGHING]

I think it was in 94 we played Collingwood. There was 80+ at the G and it was just going off.

Either 94 0r 95...took me 20 minutes to get into the ground
All I could hear was the roar of the crowd...Pies kicking goals....

I feel like I'm going to really enjoy watching this big fella play

I agree... I think the brilliant thing will be the tackling not only he provides but the other new boys as well, plus a fit Conca who is probably our best tackling mid.

For the record last year these guys averaged
Prestia - 5.4
Nank - 5.1
Conca - 4.2
Caddy - 3.9

This would make them 1, 2, 5 and 6 respectively at Richmond last season. Cotchin and Miles would drop from 1 & 2 to 3 & 4.

Also caddy averaged 5.6 tackles in 2015 as a full time mid which would have made him our no.1 tackler by a long way in 2015 as grigg was first at 4.2

That is pretty impressive to add that type of quality to our team in one off season.

Delicious!!!!..........................

 

[HumanMeatball]

Don't think he will be a dominant tap ruck or take many marks but has good kicking skill, loves second efforts and tackles like a machine. Looking forward to seeing him in action.

I may have let out an evil cackle when Nank tackled our own guys in the Midfield video

Exactly how i feel.

With Kane (I think) saying he nearly put some of our boys in hospital made me think ....OUCH ! & smile. Then I watched the footage and thought he was holding back a bit. Glad he's on our team.......I think Kane said that too?...........

 

[TigermanM2]

Should be good for a game here and there.

(I like to under sell and over deliver )

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

how good was the big fella last night loves a contested mark and is hard at it was good to see also has decent skills when not shooting for goal. looks a big steal can see the work ivan has put into him over the summer

 

[juss]

Took several good marks, looks a really good prospect.

 

[RichoRocks2006]

Reminds me of Maric in his prime. Some of his contested marking around the ground was very impressive. We really got a steal in the Nank

 

[Madtiger2006]

Like a young Ivan. Looks great. We have his brute and Griffiths jump at centre bounces. You could almost rotate these 2 from ruck/forward about 50/50 throughout the match. I think Griff can become a lot better playing more often in the ruck

future co captain with rioli?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

future co captain with rioli?

only if he grows a mullet

 

[che88]

I mentioned it a few times in the off season, he has a good mark on him so can push forward and he has that c#@t in him that reminds me of Greg Stafford, plus the Sydney link. Loved me some Stafford aggression.

 

[che88]

Oh and what's the word that Lennon can't spell, that right he's competitive!

hopefully no stalker tho

 

[Bojangles17]

bloody big fella , love how he can clunk a mark. will provide a terrific option deep forward on certain days ,,,not every *en week but when we can really stretch an oppo and our mids have it on a string

Totally agree, it seems to spark him & get him more involved. Then he seems to perform better up forward as well....

 

[mcuzzy]

I think Grigg* can become a lot better playing more often in the ruck

Sean Griggs was drafted as a ruck and that's where we need to play him!!!!!!

No 3rd man up rules gonna kill him...................

 

[Goldust]

Exactly as I hinted, happy to sacrifice a few extra meaningless stats in the hit out column for a bloke who gets his hands on the footy and impacts contests around the ground. Sets the tone for the rest of the team to follow if you're ruck is getting his hands dirty. Keeps this up - and I have no reason to see why not - it's adios Hampson and we'll be a far better team.

Bloody love Stafford. The day he rearranged everitts face and also Remember the time in apocalyptic like conditions at the G against freo... Pissed down all day and staff was 35 out and took the man on the mark on. Completely ballsed it up and got pinged. Classic moment.
