Player Watch #25: Toby Nankervis

[Spluff]

Cotchin is missing Conca and Graham so much as he has to do the grunt work instead of the clearing the ball like he did earlier in the season. Could barely pick up a lose ball especially early on last night, badly out of form. His first half of the year was alms the best mid in the game.

I noticed Cotchin hobbling in the last - not sure if he was just sore from a contest or was carrying something all game, but it might explain his quiet night.

Cotchin is injured. Sydney game

Maybe so but it didn't stop him from chasing like a man possessed. Fumbled the ball right from the first Q. Maybe it is injury, if so his form has dropped.

Just a flat spot. He'll be back.

Hope you don't mind me adding this. Have loved the way Nank has gone about it all year and particularly liked the way he was used against the magpies last weekend.

Added a piece to our website about Nank just this afternoon. Hope you enjoy.

He was immense again.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Not a great ruckman but awesome in open play

 

[BF Tiger]

Every time Nank got near it on Friday night BT felt the burn and it came through in his commentary.

 

[Morro]

He's clearly the most underrated ruck in the comp IMO

Is well up there imo.

Around the ground work is great.

[blackcat]

phenomenal. guy is a maric / Mumford hybrid.

would not have Grundy / gawn even IF they are on 100k LESS

 

[guruisatiger]

Cotch is playing crap, drop him
19-10 free kicks RAPED AGAIN

 

[thefendoff]

Not a great tap ruckman but geez he makes up for it with his ground ball work. Perfect for our game style

 

[blackcat]

Not a great tap ruckman

but NOT a bad tap ruckman, merely average. 18 ruckman in the competition... so 9th or 10th =/= bad

 

[Wallaby]

Leading Richmond clearance players tonight.

3rd. Nankervis (4).
2nd. Conca (5).







1st. Grigg (6).

 

[THE_GUN]

Only played 80 minutes game time last night so they are easing the big man back and keeping him fresh

 

[Vassp]

Last year we rested players atowards the end of our games, that worked for us, this year it has not been as obvious I think. Could be wrong though

 

[Tony Stark]

Nank looked noticeably fresher and his work at ground level especially was the Nank we know. Needed a break and now he is primed for a big finals series.

Was so influencial on Thursday. Pretty close to our best, I thought.

 

[TigerImposter]

Tap ruckman are overrated and pretty well phased out of the game. If your ruckman isn’t running hard all game and playing like a giant ruck rover , then you’re one man down.
Go Nakkers. I was down near the interchange when he came off and that roar by the crowd was special . I was clapping so much I couldn’t take shot , so I’m hoping someone can put a link up of it.
Awesome moment.

I thought Prestia was best.
