Player Watch #47: Ivan Soldo

[Jozzy]

I honestly don’t know what to do if Nanks fit and back next week, Soldo has grabbed his opportunity with two hands.

Although I’d still like to see Soldo and Nank get a chance to play together.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Great game. Dominant in ruck. Some clutch moments in the rain

Was terrible in the first qtr in the backline gave them two goals on platters but definitely worked his way into the game

Even the commentators said both those frees against were stiff an not waranted.
Plus he dominated first qtr hitouts.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

It’s easy now Soldo/Nank

 

[Sol23]

Massive game from soldo. I’d keep it the way it is. Nank missed to much footy for a big bloke.

 

[peternorth]

hit outs to advantage an underrated stat

Would give Chol a spell for Nank or Balta they just offer a little more consistency throughout the game and help in the backline more than what Chol can

What was the difference?

Yeah I get where your coming from. Chol only had 4 touches but I thought he contested really well and he does provide a bit of X factor. Tough selections

Soldo>>>Chol

No matter what way we decide to go I think we can all agree soldo should be playing ones

Bloody oath he well and truly deserves it.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Love what BIG Ivan brought today. Nank for Chol I reckon.

He's really improving

You mean the umpire paid the softest free of the year?

 

[TigerImposter]

It’s easy now Soldo/Nank

Yep. Chol is done and although he competes he’s terrible in the ruck.
Chol looks better in the FL, but we don’t need him there .

 

[BF Tiger]

Has improved out of sight over his time at Richmond. Soldo stays in for mine.

Just think he does a bit more than Chol, who has also improved immensely.

How many cult figures can one side have? I'm counting Dusty, Stack, JR8, Rance and now Soldo. Who have I missed?

 

[Dreamend]

For a guy with his experience and size, he's playing bloody good footy. Let alone that he has a beautiful Mo and once tried to header a ruck contest.

Love him, sign him for life, a thing of beauty

 

[Daka]

Thought he got beaten early... Soldo came back though and probably edged the ruck battle over the 4 quarters however Hickey still had 31 HO and a goal. bit of even contest for mine.

 

[SavDog23]

Chol is good and has improved heaps but Ivan just gives me so much more confidence in the middle.

 

[Cotcho]

Soldo is the best ruck we've got at the club. DWI

 

[Bojangles17]

Great game. Dominant in ruck. Some clutch moments in the rain

His ruckwork is very good , seriously knows what he’s doing and he’s working bloody hard to get to more contests , on several occasions crashed a pack when it looked like all hope was lost and got the pill to ground, I’ll forgive him for nearly spoiling lynch and not slapping through wc first goal , apart from that first rate

 

[Bojangles17]

I honestly don’t know what to do if Nanks fit and back next week, Soldo has grabbed his opportunity with two hands.

They will, we d be out of our minds to drop soldo

Dont forget his on-screen TV presence.
His work after the siren last week against the northern blues on the CH 7 telecast was priceless. Even Caro picked up on it on FC
Shows he'd have a wicked sense of humor.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

No brainer Nank for Chol.
