Naismith continues his injury run. Gets some injury every year. Maybe we should have kept Nanna and let Richmond take Naismith

I don't know. He started the season well but has been slipping slightly each game. It may be coming to terms with being #1 ruck and he will be better for it in the long run???
Too early to call but it would be nice to have him available this weekend to play for us.

Yes, we should've kept him.
He should've played the GF
And he should be playing for us now.
Another player fell onto his leg during a training drill. Don't see how you can blame him for that?
The one we should have let go was Sinclair.
I've been thinking for a while that Nankervis is a loss. I can tell you that Tiger supporters are thrilled with Toby and what he brings in terms of his aggression and marking. His kicking is the one major weakness.

His mobility is the main weakness imo
He ate more cheese, than time allowed
We effectively traded Nankervis for Darcy Cameron. It's an early call, but I think Cameron will be the better one of the two. Stefan Martin cleaned the floor with Nankervis in the Tigers Brisbane game, but in fairness, Martin is a very good modern day ruckman. Cameron is an excellent mark and kick for goal, has good mobility and is more than adequate in the ruck as well. Cameron's skillset is a more proven route to success than that of Nankervis, who will depend of being a Mummy type ruckman to succeed. That said, I think Nankervis will be a good ruckman. He will be played up a lot because Richmond are in such dire need of anyone who can play in the ruck. Maybe we could offload Sinclair to them at the end of the season. I'd give Sinclair away just to free up a spot on our list.
Slow as treacle, too short and tigers are thrilled because SOMEONE is playing in the ruck. They haven't had a hit out since Ivan's one and only good year.
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
Yeah, he is a vanilla ruckman. Out of our ruck stocks at the end of last year Nankervis would have to have been the most attractive for a team that is only going to play mainly with one ruckman. He may not be great but he will be dependable. Dependability is not term you would apply to our current ruck stocks.

Big call on Cameron. Nanna has played some really good games for Richmond thus far. His aggression and willingness to put his body on the line is impressive. However the wraps on Cameron from this forum have been huge. I await for his debut with much anticipation and expectations.
