what NN lacks in fitness he makes up for in clearance dominance and 1%rs that no other ruck can do. Name me a ruck who can tap centre clearance to themselves from the middle and burst out like a midfielder?? no one.He spanked Grundy with one leg on only his 3rd game back. NN never had a big tank even before major injuries so I am not sure what you actually expect him to have in terms of fitness?? can you imagine having NN in a middle then rest him up forward to potentially take mark of the year pack mark will do to opposition defence in finals?? They will have nightmare days before the game. There is a reason Simmo calls him Eagle's Dangerfield. If NN is 50% match fit and 100% over injury then he walks straight in. no discussions what so ever.
Go and have a look at our overall stats during those 3 games that NN played plus last year when he came back from ACL to see how important he is. Yes we won without him last year, but this year if we face tigers at the G, it will be much harder, and NN will give us easily extra 3 goals in a game and we need it against tigers if we do indeed make it to the GF.
