Just wondering why everyone is looking at starting then getting rid of him. I'm planning on using him as a keeper, unless he gets injured, which can happen to anyone.

Is this wrong?  ???

He is a keeper. You got it right.
Until he gets injured. 8)

No not wrong at all.  If Sandi is scoring as well as the premo rucks why would you trade apart from injury.  Unless injured early Sandi should have made sufficient cash to enable a straight swap later should injury strike.

IMO if you trade Sandi whilst he is still scoring well it is a waste of a trade.

Plan is to upgrade my R3 at some point and keep Sandi. No doubt he will get a rest or two later in the year

Because it's guaranteed he will get injured*

Yeah I'm planning to have 3 keepers in the rucks eventually

No doubt Sandi will get rested in round 23

You are wise.

If he stays fit he is R2.

This means your R1 has to be Goldy, Minno or Cox ( I can't see others overtaking all of these with any confidence ) and therefore start with one of these keepers OR a mid pricer - Hmac, Grundy or Hickey.

What Causes Turf Toe?

Turf toe is a sprain to the ligaments around the big toe joint, which works primarily as a hinge to permit up and down motion. Just behind the big toe joint in the ball of your foot are two pea-shaped bones embedded in the tendon that moves your big toe. Called sesamoids, these bones work like a pulley for the tendon and provide leverage when you walk or run. They also absorb the weight that presses on the ball of the foot.

When you are walking or running, you start each subsequent step by raising your heel and letting your body weight come forward onto the ball of your foot. At a certain point you propel yourself forward by "pushing off" of your big toe and allowing your weight to shift to the other foot. If the toe for some reason stays flat on the ground and doesn't lift to push off, you run the risk of suddenly injuring the area around the joint. Or if you are tackled or fall forward and the toe stays flat, the effect is the same as if you were sitting and bending your big toe back by hand beyond its normal limit, causing hyperextension of the toe. That hyperextension, repeated over time or with enough sudden force, can  -- cause a sprain in the ligaments that surround the joint.

Typically with turf toe, the injury is sudden. It is most commonly seen in athletes playing on artificial surfaces, which are harder than grass surfaces and to which cleats are more likely to stick. It can also happen on a grass surface, especially if the shoe being worn doesn't provide adequate support for the foot. Often the injury occurs in athletes wearing flexible soccer-style shoes that let the foot bend too far forward.

What Are the Symptoms of Turf Toe?

The most common symptoms of turf toe include pain, swelling, and limited joint movement at the base of one big toe. The symptoms develop slowly and gradually get worse over time if it is caused by repetitive injury. If it is caused by a sudden forceful motion, the injury can be painful immediately and worsen within 24 hours. Sometimes when the injury occurs, a pop can be felt. Usually the entire joint is involved, and toe movement is limited.
