Position 2025 Fantasy Rucks

[DenieD]

Reidy and Boyd on field

 

[WaynesWorld19]

And Pittonet does a calf at training .....TDK lives !

 

[stallon]

Briggs with two difficult match ups then a bye to start.... Trade him in from round 3 imo.

I dont want to plan for any trades in the ruck early on, and i think Briggs is value, same with DCam.
More value than any of the top priced rucks anyway, I think Briggs and DCam could both go 100+

If I was happy to be stuffing around with my rucks I'd just start Reidy r2 tbh

WELL THEN….
THIS IS A GAME CHANGER!
Pitto out for the start of the season!!!

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Would be mixed emotions for Pittonet if he does fantasy

 

[tigs2010]

Any timeline for the big doofus?

 

[stallon]

TDK has such a good run to start the year, but the risk of Pittonet will still be hanging around all year.

If Pitto misses 3+ weeks that makes TDK potentially a bit awkward.
If TDK is a forced trade in round 5 or 6 onwards when we want to be starting upgrades that could be pretty annoying

It gets pittonet past the Curnow doubt period though which was part of the issue

If Carlton start well, TDK playing well and Curnow and McKay healthy up forward then the risk of Pitto coming in is a lot lower

Agreed - the thing is though, Marshall is so good and if you can get him at a discount in R5/6 when no one has him it's probably worth a week's lost upgrades in another position, as it's a 20pt upgrade from TDK and a great unique captain option.

I do like your thinking with starting Briggs/Cameron - just a bummer Cameron has the R3 bye as we're starting to get very thin that week with Mills, Smith, Ashcroft, SDK, Perryman etc. also having the week off.

 

[doubleparked]

Am I nuts for thinking of going TDK and Boyd in the ruck? The only two rucks who present decent value..

Hard to know that at round 1 though

Agree, if Boyd is named round 1 then imo tdk to Marshall at round 5 or whatever sounds like a decent plan

Yeah the idea was to utilise Reidy to cover those 2 rucks with byes, Reidy should get a decent run at it.

YES. If Boyd gets injured or dropped, you'll be scrambling for a replacement, and with no basement priced rucks likely playing, you'd have to trade out a premo on another line for a restructure, setting you back.

You're better off starting Reidy at R2 with Boyd at R3. Once Boyd has generated some cash (and/or Darcy is back), you can trade him for a non-playing ruck and chuck the extra cash on Reidy to upgrade him to a premo ruck.

 

[stallon]

I dont trust Reidy or Boyd at r2, both would leave me in a shit spot.

Always a chance Jackson gets the ruck role if Freo start slowly and Reidy is dropped, Boyd obviously will have Marshall playing alongside so super risky

ABBA had a hit many years ago called, "TAKE A CHANCE ON ME"!

Captain's Day puff piece on Gawn saying he's the fittest he's ever been running wise on the AFL site.

Your 70s and 80s references are unrivalled!

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Yeah I definitely see this happening but it just throws a couple question marks to people considering Boyd R2

Definitely can't go Boyd R2. Maaaaybe Reidy if you're crazy with Boyd support at R3

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

My morning thought of the day and back what i was considering a while back, leaning going against the grain and not starting Xerri.

He just has such high ownership now as an uber premo that if he starts below that average, it could give such a boost.

Gawn should average within a few points of him if he does fire so nothing lost but is there more to gain on the gamble he has a slower start (105)?

Then TDK to Xerri in rnd 4/5 if Pitto makes his way back.

Never been in my side .....been on the value train, and Xerri IMO regresses this year .....has a tough early Ruck fixture too

Not popping my Xerri either at this stage.

 

[mezaire]

Bryan score 97 from 49% TOG last night!!!

 

[Tex Danger]

Playing with no xerri too. I was always on marshall over xerri because of the fixture and only marshal injury made me change.

Got English currently and seeing what I can do with the cash elsewhere.

Coukd be tempted by a Briggs TDK combo and really free some cash though
