Jackson Merrett the big surprise - anyone getting him in?

 

[CaptScott]

Embley listed in the centre! Do I dare..?

Jackson Merrett the big surprise - anyone getting him in?

Has had an impressive pre-season, bulked up and played well. He's on the fringe, but definitely hasn't been gifted the spot, earned it.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

The other thing to note is Luke Brown is a starter.

Where you hear Dangerfield say that Toxic? Have had L.Brown in my team from the start and having thoughts of replacing him with Pittard.

 

[j0rdy1]

How long will Blicvas keep his spot in the Cats side? Im not up to date with the Cats injuries.

its on the afl site attached to his dream team selections (somewhere)

Not sure but will be about 2-3 weeks max.

West wont be long out, both are capable of playing together so Blicavs may keep his spot. McIntosh and West together will certainly push him out though this won't be in the first month, McInstosh is indefinite but running currently so after a month he could be back any time Id say.

So really not worth picking Blicvas up at all.

Yeah if all 4 of our rucks where fit, he wouldn't be getting a look yet.

 

[Mattrox]

So really not worth picking Blicvas up at all.

Not sure. He seems to be on a steep development curve. If he kills it and his athleticism warrants it he *may* get more games.

With the trades it could be a risk worth taking.

It makes for an interesting alternative strategy. For little risk it would seem. And with Currie also pushing hard for selection rookie rucks seem like s great place to experiment. With 2 premo rucks in a team it is workable. Whether you want to or not is another story.

Thanks bro, appreciate it.

What's the other options? Nothing else at R4 seems any better. Rowe same probs at Carlton. Witts same with Jolly & Hudson at the Pies. Maybe the best of a s..t situation. Crap options for the rucks this year.

Rowe's R/F is much more valuable than Blicavs' R/M.

 

[Mattrox]

I'm betting on Blics cash cow potential > Rowes

Have Cox, Ryder for fwd/ruck cover + Maric Trying to fill all positions with rookies that will get min 3-4 games if I can.

Blivcas still has to be picked... once he is picked tho he then has a chance to shine, most teams are running with a 2 ruckstretergy, 1 key ruck and a pinch hitter - If Blivcas has he form he may keep his spot - even i only for 6 weeks thats 100K you've made, and it may just coincide with Majak getting a try

[Mantastic]

Is Kane Lucas a good chance of being the sub?

 

[Gringo Star]

I'd say Bootsma would get it.

 

[Judd_Magic]

AKA Napolean Dynamite!
