Ivan Soldo’s decision last month not to pursue a trade to the GWS Giants and remain at Richmond, was good news for the Tigers.
The 2019 premiership ruckman not only provides valuable back-up to the team’s co-captain Toby Nankervis, but Richmond invariably win when he is in the line-up.
Among the Tigers’ current playing group, with 40 or more senior appearances, Soldo has the best winning strike rate – 71.4 per cent from his 49 games.
That strike rate just shades triple premiership defender Nathan Broad on 71.03 per cent from his 107 games.
The full list of Richmond players’ winning strike rates (minimum of 40 games) is:
Ivan Soldo – 71.4 per cent (34 wins, two draws, 13 losses).
Nathan Broad – 71.03 per cent (75 wins, two draws, 30 losses).
Dion Prestia – 69.1 per cent (67 wins, two draws, 28 losses).
Toby Nankervis – 68.7 per cent (75 wins, one draw, 33 losses).
Jack Graham – 67.5 per cent (64 wins, three draws, 30 losses).
Jason Castagna – 66.4 per cent (88 wins, two draws, 44 losses).
Kamdyn McIntosh – 65.7 per cent (95 wins, two draws, 49 losses).
Noah Balta – 65.3 per cent (40 wins, one draw, 21 losses).
Liam Baker – 64.9 per cent (55 wins, three draws, 29 losses).
Tom Lynch – 64.2 per cent (52 wins, two draws, 27 losses).
Nick Vlastuin – 63.9 per cent (120 wins, three draws, 67 losses).
Daniel Rioli – 63.8 per cent (86 wins, three draws, 48 losses).
Shai Bolton – 63.8 per cent (56 wins, three draws, 31 losses).
Jayden Short – 63.1 per cent (85 wins, three draws, 49 losses).
Dylan Grimes – 63.04 per cent (129 wins, three draws, 75 losses).
Marlion Pickett – 60.5 per cent (33 wins, three draws, 21 losses).
Dustin Martin – 57.4 per cent (153 wins, three draws, 113 losses).
Trent Cotchin – 56.1 per cent (159 wins, four draws, 124 losses).
Jack Ross – 55.6 per cent (24 wins, one draw, 19 losses).
Jack Riewoldt – 53.8 per cent (172 wins, seven draws, 147 losses).
The two new additions to Richmond playing group – star midfielders Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper – have winning strike rates of 52.6 per cent (Taranto) and 56.1 per cent (Hopper) respectively from their time with the Giants.
