Fire away. Tough decision this week with lots of the big boys on at the same time
Gawn C
VC is a tough one - need to decide between Grundy/Cripps/Macrae
Grundy into Fyfe.
Every ruck so far this year has destroyed Carlton:
Nank 127
Lycett 167
Sinclair 109
Witts 107
English 99
McEvoy 117
Goldstein 114
And Fyfe vs a broken Richmond at Optus, plus he has scored 142 the last 2 times vs us...
Can't resist.

Can't see much destruction there. Only 1 score good enough to take as VC, although I acknowledge Grundy is better then all of them so definitely a solid choice but not sure he's the lock for VC when Cripps (went 187 last year vs Coll) and Macrae (Has monstered Brisbane in his past few) are also options
Might need to find my 3 sided coin for this one
Grundy into Fyfe for me
Definitely Grundy VC if Kreuz misses again, most likely Grundy into Fyfe for me as well.
Grundy into Boak
will take anything around 115 from Grundy tho
Neale or Grundy into Fyfe
Non-Grundy owner here
Neale--->Gawn for me
Grundy > Gawn

Only two VC worthy scores out of seven?
Lloyd into Grundy

The point was that they are either personal best scores or 2nd best scores for 2019 for all 7 ruckmen.
Grundy is obviously superior to all of them, and therefore suggests that he should have a field day.
Just a word of warning for those looking at Gawn as C after others as VC keep an eye on the timeline as Grundy;s and Neales game start at 1:45 with the Dees at 4:35 so you will need to be available and in a position to make a decision over half an hour.
Thinking Neale to Gawn myself at this stage.
neale>fyfe like a comfortable pair of slippers
Grundy into Gawn, same as last week.
Neale into gawn for me
With Kruezer in not sure if its Grundy/Neale VC? Fyfe Captain if needed.
Surely no one is putting the V on Grundy with Kreuzer in.. ?

Why?
Is Kreuzer some elite ruck who tears his opponents apart or something?

Kreuzer will probably get injured in the 2nd quarter meaning Grundy will ruck against Casboult the rest of the game

Not a big deal, Grundy scores well against pretty much every ruck :P
154SC for Grundy when he faced off against Kreuzer in R3 last year.
Bont into Fyfe
But Crippa, Grundy, Boak, Macrae all under consideration as well aha
Gawn into Fyfe for me.
Grundy into Gawn.
Gotta be quick on that loophole though!
I'm strongly considering Pendlebury VC if Treloar is confirmed out...

Some dude tweeted a rumour that he was crook with the flu. Can't find anything more though, so guessing fake news
I was nearly gunna go lloyd vc thought with Cunningham
out he would go huge
Sticking with neale into gawn
So torn on Grundy or Cripps. I think Kreuzer is a great ruckmen when playing, so a little worried that he matches Grundy around the ground and the hitouts, but then again Grundy is a monster. Cripps also doesn't look to be moving amazing. Greenwood going to tag him?

I dont think we will tage Cripps, Pendles or maybe Wills will be responsible for him at stoppages then will go their seperate ways.
Grundy got 150 against Kruezer last year if I remember right. I would go Grundy over Cripps. Grubdy vs Neale is my tough call. Thinking some wet/wild Ballarat conditions might suit Neale

I'm always confused whether poor weather helps ruckmen, more stoppages = more hitouts, but for someone like Grundy who collects the ball, will he get less of it, and be much more ineffective.

Cripps scored 187 against the pies last game
:)
Pretty confident this week, after taking Danger last week. Cripps as VC in to Nat Fyfe v my toothless tigers at Freo. I reckon get on the Tiges after their bye, until then any win is a bonus. Trying my luck at the SC Tipping contest this year for first time, currently ranked 12 but didn't see Sydney coming.
;)
Took Cripps VC in the end.
I had Gawn as captain so could have been worse.
Never really considered Macrae and Was flipping between Cripps\Grundy as VC. ???
Grundy to Whitfield
Had gawn and was happy he tonned up but also disappointed as expected a monster score from him. I seem to pick the grundy and gawn on their bad weeks

All rucks have done well against Carlton this year so Grundy was an obvious choice. Witts very underrated, nobody has gone big against him this year.
