Position 2013 Rucks

[Krujan]

It was posted as fact on the 'Supercoach Paige' page on Facebook, they are normally on the money.

Haven't seen confirmation anywhere else yet though.

Who will you trade in for Leue if it is the case?

Will probably upgrade one one Blicavs, Currie, Rowe, Daw...not sure how many of those guys I will go with...probably all 4 if by some chance they are all named for Rd1 then trade out whoever has made the most money after the first price change for Luey..

..either that or use the Blicavs DP mid link to do a sideways of one of my mid-priced mids Embley or Lucas...or use the Rowe/Cox fwd DP link to sideways a forward mid pricer to Luey....

So much pointless drivel on the last 2-3 pages of this thread. It has finally got back on track in the last few posts.

It looks as though the pre-season roller coaster ride that is Matt Leuenberger has finally come to an end: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/mor...thew-leuenberger/story-e6frf9jf-1226605744930

The article is not definitive but I would be very surprised if he starts round 1. Even if he does I'm not picking him. I'll be happy to take a wait and see approach.

Now i just need to decide on ruck 2. Tossing up between Kreuzer and Goldstein atm.

Phoook my life

Ill get inside word on thursday to know whether he (Leuy) has hoped on the plane to come down to victoria to face the buldogs - wont be telling anyone though hehe

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Yeah well....

i've got nothing

Anyone looking at Max Bailey as their R2? 217k and likely to play as the Hawks No. 1 ruck.

Apart from being extremely injury prone, he's never been much of a DT scorer. If he does play Rd1 I wouldn't be surprised if he's red vested for another runner. Not for me even @ 200k.

Would love to see him succeed... But I'm just not convinced yet... I'd see Grimley as a better potential option this year for DT...

this will likely be my plan until burger is fit.

there is too much mid quality to turn down this year, so i will go cox, bailey, blicavs, daw/ rowe

 

[West Coast Weasel]

What is everyone doing with Leuenberger this week? confirmed as an out last night apparantly

Benched, Blicav comes on and hopefully can get a few crucial points. Kinda wish Currie was playing though...

Just be careful with Bailey, massive chance to get subbed out to provide run for the end of the match and once Lake comes back into the side, Roughy won't be used as a swingman as much and may be the 2nd ruck again with hale being number 1. The Hawks board don't seem confident in Bailey keeping his spot at all.

 

[Mattrox]

Scuttlebutt on the SC board says Burger did not get on the plane.....

Opps didn't see other thread. .....

All this ruck nonsense has done my head in. I'm going for a second premo to partner cox (not sure who just yet) but not relying on bench rookies or mid pricers this week, that's for sure. Will downgrade R2 to Leuy if he looks like going scoring premo after his 1st 2 games.

Ended up with Currie, Longer, Maric and Rowe. Had Cox starting, but in Forward line which is a bit annoying. Will switch him and Rowe at first opportunity.

 

[Citizen Erazed]

I went with Cox and Griffen. The news about Sandi was just an added bonus last week.

No headache's here

So then youll have Cox, Maric and Longer (bench) in rucks

Relying on a monday player as raw as Blicavs to play and score well was always a very risky option that i wasnt prepared to take this early in the season.

For me Blicavs 15-80 scoring potential, Macaffer 40-75

 

[PastiesPeake]

Is Gorringe from Gold Coast going to play at any stage? Very little talk of him

Two premos the way to go. I have had to ditch Maric as I needed the cash elsewhere once Crouch dropped out but I think 1-3 or 0-4 ruck stategy is little short of madness. Then again I had a bad year last year picking two premo rucks.

What happened to the 0/0/4 ruck strategy Dannnnnnnnnn and whoever else it was, wasnt you was it Gingy

Cox is my #1 ruck and R2 will be a premo...nice to know you're thinking about me though.

 

[spence]

What about picking Zac Smith (breakout condender) as a mid-pricer whilst Luey is out and then if he does shit switch him luey later?

Read better.

I never said I had it, was just considering it. Still have 1/0/3.

Why, what's happened?

Who's your R2?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Who's your R2?

Blicavs, pending teams. Have several contingency plans should Daw/Blicavs not be named, but ideally it'll stay that way.
