I've got the Swan/Sandi double this week, with no ruck cover and am very short on cash after upgrading last week. Ideally I would upgrade both Swan/Sandi, but there is no way of doing that with only $10,000 in the bank. Initial plan out the window this week.
I'm $2000 short of my ideal Swan to Mitchell, Sandi to Jacobs.
Question is, which other ruck man is worth bringing in? My R2 is Martin.
Leaning towards Lobbe, but are any others a better choice in your opinion?
The choice is doing my head in!

How good would Swan to Mitchell Sandi to Jacobs be? Bad luck about that.

I'm playing Ben Brown this week as we know he won't be green vested. Hoping for a 60 like last week. Then, with the two weeks off, Sandi should be back next round refreshed and going 90+.

Do you have someone slightly cheaper than SMitchell to bring in? Simpson at $422k?

Prob. not a helpful post, just sympathy as I have the combo too! - Swan+Rockliff, bench Sandilands for me

Unfortunately the only 2 defenders I'm remotely interested in are Mitchell and Dal Santo. Already have Simpson.

runhome-wise: GWS/Adelaide/Sydney have the easiest ruck-draw, with Freo/GC/Essendon/WC/Hawks/StKilda/North following
Pyke as a MAJOR POD? or maybe even someone like Ryder? (avoiding the Mumford/Jacobs combo)

note:
haven't looked at the poor draws (vs Freo and vs WC being the hardest for ruckman)
but have made that based on the points-heavy opposition teams (StKilda, Dees, Brisbane, WB, Richmond being the easier scorers)

What about Minson??
I just looked at his scores since around his bye. Very impressive and consistent. I think he's the one I'm going to go with.

Have done that exact trade but I'm also looking at Sandi >  Mummy

I'm in the same position except I don't have Rockliff so have gone Sandi to Ben Brown and Swan to Rockliff.

In your position I would go with Minson, looks like he's back to last years form.

I've got the cash to go Sandi to Jacobs but actually thinking of going to mummy?!

Just made the trade of Sandi to Minson seeing as Brown is now out. Hopefully this option works!
