Ive gone Goldy (value)Do i dare run the junk ruck gauntlet?
big balls required. Gawndy to have a few sub 100's and pick them up for 450k each
Lycett (role potential)
Still have Libba at M7 and a decent D4/F4

Wrong thread broFeels a bit like kissing your cousin...having that ruck lineup
While I agree with most of that, Danger IS a must have imo. He will be at least 20 points ahead of the next best fwd. Whereas the gap between Gawndy and Goldy/Stef/fit Kreuz/breakout ruck might only be 10 points.Gee it's annoying when people claim Grundy and Gawn is the only possible starting ruck combination, and that you're an idiot/not taking it seriously/etc. if you don't pick them. Does my head in. Same with those saying Danger/Macrae are M U S T starts.
The initial team is all about optimising for cash generation and balance. It would be ludicrous to suggest starting 8 set and forget midfielders, but it follows the same logic - you can't pick a full premo team from the start, so you need to pick a team that can get you there asap.
Grundy has almost no upside in terms of an increase in average. As everyone knows, players are nominally priced at their previous season's average. The upside Grundy and co. offers is in being a captain option, which slightly distorts the linear relationship between price and average.
With all that said I have both Grundy and Gawn, but it's not a clear cut decision without any consideration. I still might go Goldstein, for example, the ~$150k will certainly come in handy in upgrading some mid pricers, etc.
Goldy / Witts maybe, but might flick back to Goldy plus one of top two. Witts good draw H1 of season, but hard to say if he can really nudge up much past 105
Witts could only muster up 74 & 86 against tim english and Allir Allir
I have a ruck set-up similar to that and have no problems kissing his cousin
What's giving you confidence that he's going to play?View attachment 636856
My latest creation. I call it “Brochie”

Surely if he plays he scores better than almost all other rookies and makes great coin? Could be Witts 2.0 from when he joined the Suns.What's giving you confidence that he's going to play?
Last I heard he got injured after being towelled up by Gawn and Martin stepped in and looked, well looked like Martin, a topline ruck.
He's not going to get the forward/ruck role as they have another guy for that....
I think he'll get games as they'll want him to sign a new contract for when Martin does drop off, but he's not going to get many this year unless there's an injury is he? He's a luxury R3 for me if he's SC relevant at all.
That's why I'm asking where the confidence in him playing every week comes from....Surely if he plays he scores better than almost all other rookies and makes great coin? Could be Witts 2.0 from when he joined the Suns.
I'm hoping he is named this week. He is purely for cash generation, if he averages 75 I'm happy. I have the Hoff forward and can easily swing him into the rucks should Archie miss a game. Love the flexibility it gives me by not having Gawndy. Allows me to go to M5 Premo + Brouch + Libba and to F4 premo + MooreWhat's giving you confidence that he's going to play?

Ah, with The Hoff in your forward line my faith in your sanity is restored.....I'm hoping he is named this week. He is purely for cash generation, if he averages 75 I'm happy.
