There's threads discussing the captain's position, as one that's really affected by team match ups...

The second ruck spot is an equal dilemma for me.

Like thousands of others, Cox is my main man.
I've got three reasonable prospects for my second, especially this week if Gardiner comes back in from the Saints.

That second spot could be...
Gardiner v Bombers
Simmonds v Dogs
Kruezer v Demons

Thoughts?
 
Im considering trading Gardiner. Was he dropped or injured on the weekend?

With King in form and St Kilda has an abundance of tall players I cant see him fitting back into the side.

He'd been injured, wasn't quite right yet.

I am sticking with Cox and Simmonds with Kreuzer as an emergency in case Cox doesn' get up .
 
I have Wood in SC.

Was keeping up with Simmonds but is now struggling. Worrying.
 
Who gets the call up?

Woods been pretty ******* and Luenberger has shown he can play football so do i persevere with wood or give the berger a shot and possibly even offload Wood?
 
My rucks team is:

Cox, McIntosh, Simmonds and Leuenberger

Who should start? Cox and who?

McIntosh played like a dud on the weekend.


Expensive Much?

Waste of time having an extra 100-300k sitting on the bench which could be someone like kreuzer instead. and then that money put into other positions.

too late now i suppose..unlucky.

I, like many others have the Cox, Simmonds, Kreuzer + 'x' random ruckmen. I'll play cox and simmonds but might play kreuzer because theyre playing melbourne.

my 4th ruckman is Leuneberger who of course was on the bench (charman not playing game him extra game time)Cox is a worry , not fit and needs a rest to get properly fit

Must agree with chodadude in that the ruck combo listed there is overly expensive with who you have sitting on the bench. Despite the potential of Berger / Simmo their SC cash cow potential is a fraction compared to some young guns around ur mid/fwd line + being able to load up with more 100+ avg players.
 
What to do about gilmore? Man this guy is an A-****!

I thought his role in the freo team was when he wasn't in the ruck that he played midfield?

He has done jack sh1t and for the money he cost he should be getting 80's/90's not 50's.

I'm giving dudmore one more week and if he doesn't play any good this week then david hill is coming in for him.

With Cox playing injured at the moment I can't afford to play with two below average scoring ruckmen, its killing me!
