This guy is going to be one of the three best players in the competition in 2 years time and could go down as the best ruck man of all time by the end of his career. He is a freak of nature in that he is 200cm+ has a huge vertical leap and is extremely quick.  He's still only a kid and is still developing his skills, once he's done that then he will be unstoppable.

He was one of my first picked in SC this year and will be my first picked next year no matter what his price is, easily capable of averaging 115+ for the next 6 years.

Yep wish I had him. Will be a gun for sure

I absolutely love him, I'll happily sit there and watch an entire west coast game just to watch him play. Totally agree with the top 3 call. Freak of nature.

I would go to a West Coast game just to watch him, there's no player in the AFL I'd rather watch (Buddy a distant second).  His highlight reel at the end of his career will be insane.

i don't think he will be one of the best ruckman of all time, he will be one of the best players of all time.

roo boys!

Great SC scorer as well! Kills me almost every week, him and Leuenberger locked in rucks for next year.

unstopable tonight. Only his finishing stopped him from having a perfect game. So exciting to watch

Thanks to Nic Nat I've avoided all the ruckman carnage this season, only made 2 trades in the rucks all year, Redden -> Campbell and Giles -> Roughead. He'll be 560+ next season but so worth it for a durable ruckman who rarely let's you down,

Lock it in Eddie. Nic Nat will be worth every penny.

I'd put money on him to be the first ruckman since Jimmy Stynes to win a Brownlow.

Scott Wynd won the Brownlow the year after Stynes. Adam Goodes played in the ruck a lot in his Brownlow year. You probably shouldn't bet.

Haha probably not, never heard of Wynd and I knew Goodes played ruck a bit but was never a ruckman.

indicate substantial ruck time.
