Ruck Emergencies

[Dees for the Draft]

With Sam Jacobs being out for 6 weeks and Spenser not likely to get a game ahead of Meesen, is it worth looking at Mumford.

I've still got Ottens and would prefer not to trade my ruck emergencies, but need some cover for him and none of the other ruck options seem overly appealing.

H.Mac is a decent option, but has gone up in price a fair bit already.

What do you suggest?

I heard Ottens is still 4 weeks away?  Get rid of him I reckon.  That's a lot of money sitting on your bench when there's a strong alternative.  You could spend half the season with him sitting on your bench.  To me, he qualifies as a LTI

And ignore what's happened to H-Mac's price so far.  His price reflects his scoring and it's his scoring you want.  Avge 100 per week.

Personally, just forget the emergencies...
I rarely have a ruck emergency - which was to be detriment last week - but rucks are expected to play a lot of games, and dont get injured much (usually). So... IMO, save the trade for somewhere else, get more cash and maybe trade up one of your on-field ruckmen.

If you have Ottens though, and Jacobs/Spencer trying to cover for him, trade out Ottens for someone decent and playing. Def HMac, his price is rising.
