In a couple of months time, I'm expecting the WA wall to have disappeared .....already cracks appearing

I’m happy for people to find reasons to get cold feet on Darcy.

Fair point but 5 extra trades makes it easier to pick more speculative guys imo. Fwiw my team hasn’t changed at all with the new rules announced yesterday. So regardless I think Darcy showed in the second half of the season last year that he’s the next number 1 ruck.
Grundy is now 28 in April so coming to the back end which I found astonishing. When we talk about him looking banged up, 10 years of rucking will do that to you and it makes a lot of sense. Gawn didn’t establish himself until 2016 at 25 years of age, where as Grundy has done it essentially since the age of 20.
That might make Gawn a better pick then Grundy looking at those stats, the wear and tare isn’t as bad on his body. Oh well it’s two of those 3 for me. Don’t think anyone else gets close except maybe nicnat as a safe 105-115 guy
Marshall will get there eventually when Ryder retires and I’m not won over on Big O yet.
Darcy all the way kents - Ceiling is too massive to ignore

Darcy's ability to go BIG is massive. Half his hundreds last year were 125+ scores.
Am I the only kent with Marshall R2?

Surely it's only a matter of time before Ryder is injured. I'm toying with the idea for sure. Even Marshall himself had an injury interrupted year so surely there's still growth with him playing forward while Ryder kicks off the season. Plus Saints fixtures to start are bonkers

My feel is your hoping he gets forward status at some point in the future

Good chance he picks up forward eligibility later on in the season.
Gawn with the C round 1 against the dogs.
To punish all the disbelievers.

Might as well just take Goldy he’s up against Hawthorn do they even have a ruckman anymore
Goldy wont be a premo this year unless he gets dpp.
Gawn will do what he has done for the last 5 years.

I like Marshall as a pick. A slight risk he doesn't become forward eligible, but if he doesn't it's probably because Ryder has gone down and Marshall is rucking solo. Win either way.
I can see Roma going 105-110
Yep and I don't think its enough.
When you factor in Captain points for Gawn, Darcy and Grundy. Nic Nat also probably.

Yes but you're picking him as a forward, not a ruck. Just taking a chance he doesn't get Forward status
Exactly my thinking. Big O going 115 would it be enough for R2? His price is very enticing but not really a captain option is he..

Injury a concern with him too. Seems to be one of these kents that gets niggles.
Has slimmed down this pre season but yes it’s a concern

Big O will probably improve his average, but not enough for me to not select one of the big 3.
As you say he's not a captain option really either.

Yeah I like him as a player, but will wait until he gets forward status and trade him in.

I'm finding the rucks very interesting this year. Quite a few things to consider, especially now with the potential for additional positions to be added during the year.

I think it makes taking a R/F in you starting side less important. I was giving English consideration but will risk it without for now.
