The time has come for me to move Belly to the forward bench (replacing Hogan to allow FWD/RUCK DPP).

I've already got Goldy so which ruck should I bring in?

Thinking one of Jacobs, Maric or Mumford as they are all about the same price

Thanks

Maybe also consider Ryder? Port's draw opens right up for them now

Considered blicasz? Not really playing as a ruck, avg  of 101 and only 478 k. Looks the goods this season!

Like Mumford out of that lot. Has been playing really well and scoring consistently, but I think a few big scores are just around the corner.

Maybe rule out Jacobs. Walsh has said he'll get one more week as the solo ruck before bringing in O'Brien or Jenkins to help him out

Given the news about Jacobs getting support in the coming weeks, it might be best not to go for him but, as a Maric owner I'd say probably don't look at him either  :-[

Mummy then seems the best option of the three but even then I'm not totally sold.

Didn't Jenkins support Sauce in the ruck most of last year? didn't seem to bother his SC output then..

The only thing stopping me going Mumford is the inevitable injury (never played a full year)

I was actually thinking the same thing, Jacobs will still ruck 90% of the time. I'm locking him in @ just over $500K, i don't think Mumford has ever played a full season without breaking down at some point.

Think he was used as a fwd. Only averaged just over 4 hitouts a game last year

I picked him up for $558k a couple of weeks ago as a POD instead of getting Goldy. WIN!

If O'Brien impresses at AFL level, he will be a perfect downgrade from Bellchambers in a few weeks time.

Jenkins has been playing this year already?
I'm pretty sure big sauce's output will stay as it has this year. He's been up and down but I reckon his 95 avg should be maintained.
