Toast Izak Rankine off to Adelaide. Pick 5 obtained as expected

[Sunny_]

Does anyone remember when we debuted Mac Willis against Geelong a few years ago in the back pocket? Cold, rainy and we lost by 120 or so. He was dropped the next game. Brutal.

Doesn't come any harder than that trip. I wouldn't be playing him down there in the middle of winter.

 

[Happy Idiot]

Come on, let's just play him this week. The world has waited long enough, and we're a good shot at a win. AND there are a couple reasonable candidates to drop for him. It's perfect.

Why rush him and risk hurting him if he hasn't hit the targets set out for him yet. He hasn't played a full game of football for 12 months. Let him ease into playing and get used to using his pace in game again.

He's ready, I can feel it.

Play him against Geelong next week. The week after is Hawthorn at the G so there isn't an easy game to ease him into, I reckon he would be up and about for playing at the G.

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

If he's ready, you play him.
Geelong just lost to Carlton at home.
Can't protect him for ever - he would be dying to get out there.

Sounds like he has a few things to work on from the reserves match report though.

 

[Brenton87]

I had a dream that he kicked 3 goals on debut this week.

Just to whet the appetite

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

Man I hope he plays.

His body shape has completely changed since those highlights. As you'd expect I guess with 2 pre-seasons done.

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Reckon he can be a more athletic Robbie Gray
I'd take 4 all Australians, 1 coaches association award (adding in a few premierships)

 

[Camsta]

Biggest wish - rankine comes bolting out the gates and takes out the Rising Star instead of Rowell

Got some man muscle now, hopefully it hasn't impacted any of his explosiveness

 

[GC2015]

Is he (Izzy) still rocking the the bleach blonde hair? I hope so because that will really draw the attention of the commentators on Saturday night.

Watching his highlights gave me a man muscle

Depends.

If it's in the legs he may have gotten even more explosive.

Imagine THAT.

 

[exxcessivve]

C'mon Suns, time for a good news story to mitigate the bad!

 

[Supersuns]

Depends.

Imagine THAT.

Definitely looks bigger in the quads I reckon. Should help with sustaining the power and explosion he has for longer

 

[Mini GF]

I met him just before COVID and I don’t see what you guys are seeing. He comes across as slight to me. Having said that I’ve been around League players most of my life who are at the other end of the extreme and tend to be excessively bulky.

He is never going to be a big buff player, would slow him down and ruin what makes him special. But there is a difference between been slight and skinny and being slight and powerful. Which is what Izak is starting to look like, he is a lot more toned and bigger in the right areas to when he was drafted

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

He's fitter and leaner now I think. He's a deceptive 82kg for sure. He's definitely strong though.

James Brayshaw IQ = 4

WOOHOO!!!

I’ve been in mourning / not posting since Rowelly went down with his shoulder but this news has made my day!!! Enjoy it Izaak!!!

 

[Greendogg]

I think he was being faeceitious given Rankine is that much better.

It's like comparing Lemmens to Clayton Oliver.

Come on OB, Oliver is nearly as good as Lemmens.

 

[kreglze]

Rankine to kick 2 snags.
