Position 2017 Rucks

[adammania9]

I'm backing Gawn to average over 125 in 2017. He is in my team 100% and won't be coming out

 

[markm106]

I'm thinking Gawn is a lock. He had 7 140+ scores last year. He just peaked and will be solo ruck all year. Add to that his hit out to advantage and contested marking ability. Can't leave him out.
I'm still thinking the Gawn/Goldy set and forget with Ryder up forward.

 

[SC fish]

Ryder will definitely end up in my forward line. He will make a solid F6. Having him at R2 at the start gives me the flexibility to wait & see before bringing in the R2. Eg. If Jacobs/Mummy/someone unexpected becomes the clear R1 or R2, I'll be able to upgrade a forward rookie and bring them in while moving Ryder to F6.

Sounds like a decent strategy, might do that myself

He is priced at 125, so I think the only good reason to pick him is if you do rate him that high this year.

I would give him some bonus marks for VC/C, but Mel have a lot of late games before the byes so he can't be VC much... and I don't like him as C since he pumps out the odd 60.

 

[ROOINYOU]

I hate the Pies but Grundy could move up in the ranks this year.he has been slowly rising and could be due for a big year.
...aint picking him though.
you gotta go Gawn and Goldy/Martin with Ryder fwd....set'n'forget the best move for rucks.

Am I mad for considering having Witts at R2 with Gawn R1, with old mate from Freo on the bench with Ryder cover?

Upgrade Witts later on, or should I continue with my annual rule of pick and forget?

should be annual rule of set and forget. too much uncertainty around Witts role and scoring ability

If he can make me 120k I am happy.

but is 120k worth an extra trade? especially in the rucks

If witts was clear #1 then no worries but what about Nicholls?

 

[freddy mercury]

Yeah, I was thinking about that, with the days of playing two rucks pretty much gone, it will come down to one, I think whoever is picked rd1 will remain in the side until injury or something else.

If it happens to be Witts, he is straight in.

I'll most probably go Gawn + Goldy, but there's a lot of temptation in the rucks this year

Gawn + Ryder (ruck/fwd donut) will also be tempting; can see who is the performing ruck and bring them in, swinging Ryder forward

If you pick Sandilands, you almost HAVE to take Ryder too.

Say that to the poor souls who started with a Martin or Jacobs last season, think NicNat & Minson had some big falls a few years back as well. So I certainly don't think it should be a set rule.

Witts was known as Mr F by some pies supporters

For good reason

He's a spud

I read on the trade board back in October that he was worth a first rd pick.

he was indeed

Just exercised the thought of starting with Sandi

If you start with him, you need to start Ryder in your forward line, because if Sandi goes down early, your better off bringing in a ~$400k fwd than a ~$300k ruck

He just turned 34, he's old

Hmmm

I've ditched him and decided to go with Gawnstein again. I don't think Sandi will be any more than a handy upgrade option
