The big Sauce

[its me lads]

Relatively unspoken.

I had Sam Jacobs all pre-season and didn't look back. I got him because he was the most reliable ruckman in terms of scoring and playing games. I'm not necessarily thinking of trading him because that would hypocritizise(?) my original decision. I am just seeing what people think of him, will he step it up a bit. So far he's gone 78, 82, 71 averaging 77 which is not the worst but certainly not what i selected him for. What do you think? Surely Jenkins isn't having a negative effect.

I think if Adelaide play well Jacobs plays well or vice versa, so if Adelaide can win a few games then Jacobs will bounce back, :)

He should have some big scores eventually...hopefully.

I've got too many other issues in my team to worry about trading him out.

I wouldn't worry about Jacobs at all. To be fair, a lot of 'premium' rucks from 2012 have underperformed thus far.

Out of all the rucks who averaged 80+ in 2012, only Cox, McEvoy and Minson have at least maintained or improved on their 2012 average.

Maric averaged 99 in 2012 and is currently going at an 83 average.
Roughy 92 down to 68.
Ryder 90 to 73.
Bellchambers 80 to 72.
Giles 82 to 70.
Mummy 82 to 64.

Poeple who started with Maric and Roughy especially would be disappointed given their high starting prices. At least Jacobs has been consistent and still averaging a solid 77. He'll definitely improve and be a safe 85-90 average by years end. He's a keeper, hold onto him.

I'm just happy that I've got the McEvoy + Leuenberger combo with Coxy up forward. :D

Yeh as Adamant said, rucks have dropped right off early so I wouldn't worry too much about Sauce. He'll come good

[Windigo]

Got a blast from Sando after the game for his poor effort in the showdown.

Is out off form ATM.

Wouldn't stress to much mate. Adelaide have started slow and will surely pick up and so will his scores!

Yep, +1. Was going to say the exact same thing. They are good scores for a ruckman whos team is struggling a bit at the moment.

[Dudge]

The big Tomato better start pumping out some big one soon, he's in all my various fantasy teams. At this stage i'd be happy with a couple of 90+s

[its me lads]

You guys are probably right. Hopefully when Crows start playing better (which better be soon!!) then he wil aswell. AND DANGERFIELD!  :)
come on the crows.
