Rucks?

[s1bbald]

At present, my ruck lineup looks like: Hille, Jacobs (Leuenberger, Spencer). Obviously the risk has not paid off. With Jacobs apparently out for a few, Leuey out for an extended period, Spencer appearing to be replaced by Meesen and Hille underperforming, it looks as though some serious changes will need to be made. Any advice/opinions? I've got 16 trades left and only $1.2k in the bank. Ideally, I would like Hille to be my second ruck by year's end, but it's looking like a double upgrade, which is a big no.

 

[FBDonkey]

considering that you missed the Meesen downgrade this week, this one is gonna be really tough to resolve.

 

[s1bbald]

One option I have is: hope that Jesse White has a crap week and go Leuey >>> White. Not perfect, but it plugs the hole.

 

[s1bbald]

Bump for the lulz.

 

[Clunk]

Your ruck probs might have just got a whole lot worse with Hille's injury.

 

[J6shSC]

Started the year with Ottens and Hille. Fantastic.

 

[Judd_Magic]

I'm going Hille > H-MAC next week.

I have $33,000 in the bank so hopefully its just a straight swap!

Sucks to be you today after Hille got injured.

 

[Hondo]

Not an ideal spot for you but there's still options:

Gardiner $294K
Tippett $309K
Mitch Clark $297K
White $218K
Meesen - likely to be about $160K

Not great but Jacobs + Hille will be about $530K after this round so you could get White + someone around $300K like Tippett, or even Meesen and Tippett

2 trades burned and not a great ruck line up but at least you get some players on the field

You've had bad luck mate

 

[UpTheGuts]

The H-Mac train has left the station... he'll be 450K after tonight

Look at Mitch Clark for those hurt today

 

[Linear]

Hille out for the season with ACL

Not if you have useless Hentschel still on the bench!


Hentschel >> Warren

Hille >> H-Mac or Sandilands


I may have to do that.

 

[s1bbald]

I'll be looking at Hille >>> Kruezer/Clark and Leuenberger >>> Best available. Plans are in tatters, but I was averaging 2200 with a subpar ruck lineup, so I may have a few more keepers than I first thought.

 

[FBDonkey]

and you thought you had problems before Hille got injured...

 

[Team Mo']

Currently have Cox and Jolly and hopefully the ruck injuries stay away from me although I've already got rid of Leuenberger and still have Spencer and Jacobs warming the pine.

 

[alternatevista]

I have Cox and Hille starting with Spencer and Jacobs warming the pine.

Will be looking to trade out Hille who will drop to 380k after his zero and Kosi is my main target. Although I will have to start Spencer for the next 3 weeks until Kosi drops to Hille's price.

Only other gettable options are H-Mac who will be about 450k but looks to be in some great form, or Sandilands who is about the same price but in less good form.

Kosi is probably my preffered option but I'm not sure if Spencer's 50-odd scores are good enough cover and if Freo can start winning some games then Sandi can only get better.

Do you know something that I don't?

Last time I looked Meeson was playing no.1 ruck for Melboune and Spencer was dropped, hasn't played for two weeks now and doesn't look like playing in the foreseeable future.

 

[alternatevista]

Sorry I forget who I have in my team, meant to say I have Jesse White, who might as well not be playing considering the scores he's getting.

True but better than a dounut though.

 

[Royale]

Depending on Kosi's availability, i'll be looking to downgrade Brent Harvey () for a dependable forward option and trading out Hille.

I've been doing well with a struggling Harvey anyway so an ok forward will do the job...could possibly upgrade a Hille to a Cox also.

 

[Royale]

Thoughts on Paddy Ryder?

 

[donkeymullet]

Hes not listed as a ruck

 

[bomberz08]

How much are cox, jolly and H-Mac.

I'm thinking Skipworth> Warren
Hille>To either cox, jolly or macintosh [whoever i have enough for]

Burning trades too quickly

If i do this then i will only have 12 trades

 

[Atavistic]

Thoughts on Paddy Ryder?

Could be a good option as 7th defender, I think, especially if you lack the cash to get a true premium. I'm considering Suban > Ryder at the moment and trading T Walker in as well.

Possibly worth a punt. Are you trading him in?

 

[Bada Bing!]

And my luck continues....

David 'Spud' Hille does his knee, costs me a trade and loses me ~$100k.

Never mind, I thought, Jesse White can get keep me donut free for one week while I wait for Sanidlands price to bottom out after being smashed by Cox this weekend.

Then 17:00 hits... OUT: J.White (illness)

Oh how I love this game..... haha
