I'm not sure there's anyone worth putting at R3, I reckon Mcandrew will end up there. Can't waste a bench spot with a rookie making bugger all. If Mcandrew is R2, reckon White is your beat R3 option.
Problem is you might be stuck with 80s on the bench while fielding rooks scoring 50-60
 
Struggling to work out what to do with the second ruck spot. Locked on English. Looking at Gawn vs TDK.

On the one hand, Gawn is Gawn. No early bye. On the other hand, he ain’t getting any younger, lost his main trio to hit out to, Melbourne potentially playing quicker means less contests and there is the unknown of the new rules.

The new rules should suit someone like TDK but he will be sharing duties with the best second ruck in the comp. I guess we see how he goes today.

I've had Gawn all pre season and just swapped him to TDK this morning. There is $165k difference between them but I think TDK can score much better with Marshall than he did with Pitto last year. He was averaging 120 after the first 8 rounds last year and I think he could do similar this year in a better team.

all true, really feel TDK could go either way a bit, watching today closely

Im thinking I have to drop Cox and bite the bullet with TDK at R1. Darcy trained the full session the other day.
MCAndrew R2. ZZ R3.

With Darcy and Jackson in the team Cox is no chance. When Darcy goes down Ill bring him back in though :moustache:

In the unlikely situation ZZ stays in when Draper is back he’s worth a look

Otherwise it’s floating DPP Dunkin Donuts time

a lot of mixed metaphors in there

For me it's about the wider ruck scoring than the individuals themselves.

I'm hoping tonight's game helps me make a decision.

If Cameron or TDK score 130 tonight, my concerns will be put to bed and I'll happily pick Xerri.

If they score 100-110 I'll be concerned about the ruck score ceiling and will be on the fence.

If they score under 100 I'm putting a line through Xerri and going cheaper (not sure what that looks like yet).
 
Reading the Brisbane board he was training as Andrews understudy which should help his case come selection time.
Darragh Joyce will likely cover off for Andrews if he's out.
