Position 2015 SuperCoach rucks

[MightyMark]

Why? Ruck depth is an issue. I could use Cox and put Belly forward but I want 7 over forwards. 5 Premos guraantueed to be in the top ten IMO. I think picking your premos is the most important thing. Taking the gamble with both Kruz and Luey gives me the cash to bench TBC.

Why not just burn the inevitable trade. TBC is only going to provide you cover for maybe one week. You obviously don't rate him high enough to be a starter, so why not just trade out Kruze or Berger if they go down. Lets be honest once they go down, most people will be moving them one considering their history.

I reckon the only way to go this year is 2 set and forget rucks, along with Cox as a minimum priced a ruck/forward on the bench.

Then have another ruck/forward in the forward line as potential cover.

Currently I'm going with Ryder, but Gawn is not an unreasonable option.

Anyone take anything out Durdin at the Roos already signing a contract extension? Ruck/Def for under 150k, will be putting him in as a place holder instead of Cox for the time being. Must already be liking what they've seen. Can't see an open spot for him in the 22 at the moment though.

In my side at present, but in defence. Need Read/Cox as R3 for the DPP swing, which Durdin can't give me.

Read? WHO

Tom Read, from Geelong.

 

[Jiska]

Tom Read, Geelong project player. Decent prospect, but unlikely of getting many games early, but with Geelongs rucks issues who knows.

Don't care whether he plays or not. In fact, I'd prefer if he doesn't.

Fair point, but a slight upside in comparison to Cox and McLaren as far as scheduling goes for the loop hole.

Substantial if you use krk004's points method, which I happen to like.

Mumford seems like a POD that I'm tempted to grab.

Injury prone, better of grabbing Goldstein for 30k less

The one bench ruckmen hurts Mumford IMO, you know he's going to miss games.

 

[Probitas_]

Because it's difficult to take off my own team glasses sometimes, can anyone give me a good reason not to go NicNat and Lycett as R1/R2

I was seriously tempted by Mumford but yeah injuries could hurt. Will put up some huge scores when fit.

With the new ruck scoring changes the days of players like Mumford getting 150+ scores are pretty much over.

Injury prone ruckman + 22 year old ruckman? No thanks, not for me. Especially when Lycett is 400K.

I wrote a post along these lines last year: Do not let your own team bias dictate your supercoach team. Yes, Scott Selwood might score well. But do you really want him instead of Ollie Wines? Yes, Wingard might do well. But over Buddy?

Pick the best options available, and put team bias aside. As a general rule, I like to have no more than 2 Dogs players in my team, except for those that you just cannot pass up. This would include Caleb Daniel this year, Brett Goodes a couple of years back, Matty Boyd going back a few seasons.

You reckon Caleb Daniel is a lock this year?

As a rookie in the forward line? Yep. I'd say he's a chance for the rising star honestly.

Big call to make before the NAB Cup.

I must admit though, I would love this kid to succeed.

Thing is, anybody that I've talked to, anything I've seen of this kid, there has literally only been one negative thing said about him: "He's kind of short isn't he?"

He's another one who is just a natural footballer and apart from his height has no drawbacks.

 

[Kadog]

timtamWB you think Goodes will play in defence?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Caleb looks to be a gun,Wish we got him.
Also hope Gregson the guy we got turns out to be handy.

 

[timtamWB]

timtamWB you think Goodes will play in defence?

He's been training on the wing as well, and in the VFL he's always played through the middle. So probably HBF rotating through the wing.

So you think he'll be playing seniors?

What price is Nic Nat?

 

[timtamWB]

Honestly? I don't think so. We have too many talented youngsters that are more talented than him and we need to be thinking young.

Freeman has won the 2015 rising star already
