[MrPremiership]

Hurts opposition with every tackle.

Love it.

What I loved most was when that ball went forward in the behind the goal shots you could see the Swan player still on the ground.

This is what i want a GIF of!!!

 

[MrPremiership]

If you go to the SCG right now, word has it that Lloyd is still lying there in pain

 

[Hodginator]

No rising star nomination this week.

 

[Lotus]

No rising star nomination this week.

Next year...

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Is he the biggest defensive forward in the history of the game?

 

[Dragz]

Must stay in against richmond. Hurt them with those tackles.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

The Panther. He absolutely stalks his pray and then .......... BANG! they're gone

 

[pomahawk]

Words can’t express how much I want to see him absolutely smash Rance in a tackle...

No chance. Rance will 'dive' out of the way.

Likely flop forward and be pinged for pushing.

Lets hope he stays in. We need forward pressure for Richmond. They get so much run from opposition backlines.

He can compare notes with Hanners from the 2014 GF....

I'm looking forward to a Nash v Martin fend-off and seeing who wins!

I'm more interested in a Martin v Worpel fend off

Fact nothing. AFL bodies are not physically prepared to have a shoulder driven into the ribs. Cyril could deliver that hurt. No one has felt a professional tackling machine running through them at his speed, with his weight ... the laws of physics and all that. Rugby and league players have massive muscle through their midsections to wear that impact, neck and shoulder muscle to wear the whiplash, and they have had a lifetime of conditioning preparing them for precisely those tackles. They most often also have the benefit of being able to brace for impact.
That said, I hope he drives straight through the duckwood before he has a chance to drop his knees. There's no time or even point in slipping the arms up to draw the free, he's just going to expose himself and make a juicier, more tender target.
Where the AFL has tried to make the tackle redundant by not awarding free kicks, or the offload throws, incorrect diposals, prior opportunity, yadda yadda yadda bullshititis, its all going to come undone. Conor Nash will crash, bash and smash the ball free for our crumbers, and leave them momentarily a man down in play
Conor knows how to hurt. Burgers and Cyril too. Nic-Nat can, but cant help himself. Both Alir and Daw could, but I feel hold themselves back because they fear what they might do.
He's going to be a gamechanger. Definitely going to put some Cyril type fear into defenders thinking about hanging onto the ball.

That's what I want to see, some belief. I'm hearing a lot of skepticism and doubt. Let's not get excited, it's still too early, bla bla bla. Get excited ya bananas, Nash is here to stay. Bones will be broken mark my words. Possible decapitation if opponent chooses to duck. Bloody hell wowwee choo choo get on board!

No chance he will get dropped for finals. No way man, zero. Top ten picked for the team, that's my take. Clarko would be creaming his jocks, as am I. Clarko hasn't mentioned Nash lately (or have I missed something?) which means he is internally jumping for joy. After watching last few games I just can't imagine Clarko leaving him out, Conor has a killer instinct and is built for a pressure style game.

A diamond in the rough, just you wait.

He's absolutely Nashed a saint and a swan.

Can he take down a tiger for 3 from 3?

 

[Agent Smith]

Afterthought ... if we're playing off in the GF, do we give him a chopout and let him win the GF sprint as well as the Normie?

I just got the mental image of Conor in the GF sprint suddenly deviating from his (end) lane and landing a smashing tackle against the entire field all running in a line 10m from the finish. lol.

No diving necessary from Rance

 

[Hawk_francais]

I'm more interested in a Martin v Worpel fend off

The Worpel/Martin/O'Meara three-way fend off where somehow all three players end up running with the ball.

The Worpel/Martin/O'Meara three-way fend off where somehow all three players end up running with the ball.

And then Bruest comes along and steals it from them all.

Even more odd since he was playing and meant to be in the rooms, missed the memo about half time breaks.

I’m in, Nash will never play at Box Hill again!
