Position 2017 Rucks

[Hairy Lager]

Roughy was so very good in the finals. Boyd in a bit more a free role and Roughy doing the ugly stuff could be great

Yeap agreed, but Roughs had a Rough time and is only human.

 

[Great 2008]

Boyd is so tempting at that price. Even given his great GF I just can not pull the trigger. A few good pre-season games from him will make things interesting in SC land.

Getting rid of third man up was such a stupid decision. If you're 205cm and can't beat a 193cm bloke for a hit out then that's your problem. Just needed to be stricter on shepperding the rucks out of the contest.

I mean, how tall is Jordan Lewis? 184cm? 185cm? And he's been the best third man up for a while. Stupid afl.

Disagree with you on this one Pogba. IMO one of the only rule changes that they've made that actually makes the game better + safer, ruckman already have to worry about the the other bloke they are jumping into over and over, stray knees and elbows coming in from behind you should be the least of your worries when trying to get a hitout.

Edit: Especially when there are scumbags like Lewis getting around.

Goldy had already banged Lewis missus

 

[Dark Sharks]

Goldy bangs everyone's missus, including my own. So what?

Not sure if someone had already looked at price increase scenarios for lower-pried options (e.g if they get injured / are moved on for fallen premo, I guess).
Had a look at Sandilands (80-110), Giles, Witts (70-100). Results below for those interested. Might have done something wrong, didn't check in detail.

Sandi still the only decent ruckman out of them hence the risk.

Dorothy the Dinosaur might come good, would need a mongrel transplant first, though. OK tap ruckman, not great around the ground.

Sandilands?? Or Witts?

Sandi below:
So his 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 &2015 averages of 105+ odd were not flukes?
2016 played a game for a 108 before nicnat put his knee thru his ribcage and spine.

Witts however

 

[SC fish]

After some tinkering I now have Gawnilands in my RUCK

Sorry, badly worded. Sandi topliner, good value.
Dorothy = Witts. Big head, bit soft, happy, bit ungainly etc.
Pure guess, but if no 1 ruck maybe somewhere 85-90. Might be ok parked at R3 generating cash and jettisoned later, e.g.

Calling Witts a dinosaur is offensive to Sandilands.

Anyone know how likely Tim English from the dogs is to get game time early in the season?

Unlikely mate, kid is just bones and skin atm. Too early for him to come into the side unless Roughy/Cambell/Boyd go down with injury.

Anyone rolling with Grundy/Sandi despite both sharing round 13 bye?

Grundy & Giles. But Still tossing up whether or not to go Sandi with Grundy.

Sandi and Giles

Could be an absolute master stroke

Bugger I was considering him. He will average his 95-100 i reckon.

Ohh well Gawn the safest bet anyway.
Gawnilands locked the **** in. juicy

I don't think that's crazy either. For mine, Gawn is the ONLY Gun ruck this year and he's top priced ATM. Goldy faces a serious up hill challenge to get back to where he was and in a team that will go bottom 4, I don't see it. That's not even taking into consideration any impact that some of these alleged incidents might have on his performance. Martin won't score well if they take two rucks into each game. Mumford is injured (again), No Nic Nat, Jacobs is cooked, who's left? I have Grundy and I'm not convinced on him either.

Yes.

 

[markm106]

I've been absolutely against going in with Sandi but currently having a look at my team with him in it and some upgrades with the cash. Not sure yet but if he gets through pre season I'll be very tempted.

 

[Test Tickle]

any love for Tom Hickey?

I outed Gawn and went the Grundylands combo just for for fun. My side looks stronger all over the park. Keeping that combo for now.
