Toby Nankervis

Seems rival clubs are circling Toby who is a ruckman/forward that we are desperately lack. 

Was an All Australian under 18 ruckman and can go forward and take some strong contested marks up forward and kick goals. Was impressed with him as a junior and noticed that he dominates the NEAFL quite well.

Physically ready to go at 199cm 101kg.

Could be a good cheap option for a mature(ish) ruck backup. We are listed in the article as being on the lookout for ruck depth, so it isn't a crazy thought we could land someone like Nankervis.

Of the clubs mentioned looking for a ruckman:  'Several clubs including Richmond, North Melbourne, Essendon, the Brisbane Lions and Melbourne are understood to be in the market for a ruckman' we would have to be one of the more attractive ones.  Only drawback is that he will be playing second fiddle to Max and may prefer to go somewhere where he is numero uno eg Richmond or Essendon if he really wants to be in the starting 22 each week.

if he can play as an effective deep forward he can make starting 22

good point dc.

would definitely be an upgrade on both Dawes and Pedersen as our 2nd/3rd tall forward!

I was under the impression that he's more of an old fashioned Ruckman. He's definitely 'ready to go' for a 21 year old big, just unsure how effective he'd be with Max. 

Assuming one of Weideman or Hulett come on, how would a forward line accomodate all of Hogan, Watts, Weid/Hulett and Nankervis/Gawn?

 

Nankervis hasn't shown he can play forward. Sydney lack this type of player with Tippett out

its a no from me

and importantly give maxy a chopout in the ruck


Spencer as a mature body, but no flexibility.

Mitch King & Max King developing.

Nankervis himself isn't ready yet.

Love this place. Opinions flying around all over the place with absolutely no substance to them. I have watched the games he has played for the Swans. Spencer is more mobile, a better ruckman and can play forward. He is none of these things. Can't get a game at the Swans when they were desperate for his type once Tippett went down.

No way. No story here. Move on. Would be at best a depth player if you want to flick Max King but definitely behind Spencer.

199? Too short. :P

Plays like he's 200cm

Ruckman take longer to get there. I'm open to the idea of him or someone like him coming to club. But yes who knows what will happen.

Yes, 199 is a dwarf ruckman these days.

Technically a midget ruckman I think, unless he has disproportionately short arms and legs :)

I stand corrected!!!

Doesn't do anything for me.

I'd be more keen on Zac Clarke for nothing as a free agent.

 

I see absolutely no reason why we would pour 8 years into Spencer and then ditch him for Nankervis who is on no metric any better than Spencer.

I'd rather take a punt on an apple over Zac Clarke.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
