Ruck Stratergy

[Chopps]

i'd rather have petrie on the ground at 170 k if your going no mpp you wanna go to premiums and two playing ruck rookies (good luck i reckon)

I (IMO) recon 2 Premiums then say Smith as 3rd & Use MacDonald as 4th & bonus (MPP). Some people have Daw but not for me as him & Petrie both same team. Each to their own. Reckon that Mac could get some game time before Daw.

Forward you have a choice of a couple in Petrie & Tipps. Couple others but anyway. One Prem goes down for a bye swap wit whoever you have chosen also taking into account that Zac should be playing for GC & reversed after that week. Further down the track if req'd you can trade up if you so desire or in case of last season injuries re some good ruckman going down.  IMO

dont understand why people are so keen on having mpp in the rucks. to be honest you shouldnt need it. if you have say cox and someone like fraser along with say petrie and smith on the bench. you have 3 players who have traditionally been very durable and are all walkup starters and one who is almost guranteed to get games. unless tippet showed serious form in the nab... mpp in the rucks is a bit overrated

mate each to their own but means dead money sitting on the pine getting splinters when he could be used else where (Fwd) & back up with the byes for you it's using the MPP this season re the byes that can help you if you so desire.
That's the idea of these forums tho to voice there opinions so that if you do see something that helps you may use it. Oh & vice verse. lol. hope it helps.

realised something from holzman's team, if you do have sandi/cox or sandi/anyone you then need to make sure when you move petrie you have cover for him

if you have chappy/buddy or pav & sandi out you need all three bench players as petrie will be in the rucks and will macdonald get game time i am assuming not

Bryce Retzlaff may get games for brisbane if Fev doesn't play and we have some injuries

i think a lot of people are ignoring the fact you are going to have multiple teams with byes! If you have an injury you are going to cop a doughnut! here's what I'm doing:

Sandi, Cox, Petrie, Smith

with K. Tippett in forward line to utilise MPP with Petrie plus he will be better than he was in 2010 and i think better than in 2009 too.

Smith becomes a cash cow round 9.
