2 spots to fill

[grechy99]

Team is complete minus these 2 questions for midfield and ruck.

midfield; my options are either:  Gibbs Boyd Hayes or Del Santo

and ruck; either nick nat or brad ottens ..

advise or suggestions please??

Gibbs or Hayes, and Ottens. 

With Ottens you're have to ride out some low scores while he gets up to speed after a non-existent pre-season, but then he'll at least be a cash cow for you even if he doesn't rack up big scores.  Hille is in the same boat, but I think a better option, as Ryder hasn't got the body to be a ruckman all year, so Hille will have a bigger role with Essendon than Ottens will at Geelong, who have some other genuine (though average) ruckmen.

I reckon Nic Nat will struggle against real ruckmen. His - admittedly impressive - NAB games have been against Essendon (no proper rucks played) and Port (minus Brogan), and I can't see him getting close to an even split of game time with Cox.  Maybe next year.  Or maybe he'll kill it this year...
