Anyone considering a premo/rookie ruck combo to throw a bit more cash elsewhere?  Grimley/Michael perhaps?
Rookie rucks dont score as well as rookies in other positions.

Be careful if you do go rookie ruck at R2

Only feasible if Leuey goes down/is out for the first 6 weeks.

Jamar will only play if Leuy goes down. Leuy is R1 for the dons but its hit outs to advantage that gets the points.

Im not going near Leuy

I hate paying 700k for Goldy, but I simply refuse to ever have Mid-priced rucks again, so if I go without him, I'll most likely go without him all year. I'm not sure if I'm ready to make that big of a call.

I can't say it isn't tempting to go for Gawn instead and save some money.

Is anyone considering Tippet as R2?

I'm off Lobbe but the typical set and forget is a lot of money, especially if you want Goldstein from the start...

I feel if Tippet is struggling you can upgrade him early for around 100k or if he does well you can trade out a fwd rookie at peak, put Tippet fwd and then get another premo R2.

This.

If you assume Goldy to be one of the top two rucks all year... but don't want to start him... you have to pick one keeper and one upgrade (or FWD swing)

Based on this I'm going to go Gawn and Tippet.. swing Tippet into FWD as a F6 come season's end

Thoughts?

If you like Tippett then I think that's a really good way to go about it

A good M8 (or M9 if you have the luxury)?

Don't necessarily need the swing. Just upgrade a midfielder to Goldy during the season and move Biltz to the mids.

I like the Goldy Tippett idea.

What's everyones thoughts on another very similar combo, Goldy and Callum Sinclair.  Tippet and Sinclair to share ruck duties.  Both Ruck Forwards, can Sinclair lift his game to the next level without NicNat, does he take the number one ruck spot, who is the better pick, Tippet or Sinclair, taking potential and price into consideration.

Goldy + Martin/Gawn

Can Blitz be used as ruck back up via a R/F and F/M loop?

 Smartin and NicNat all preseason.
considering Smartin and Gawn.   Given up on Goldy unless I get an injury.


Looking to change Menzel and Wells from D4/5 to Tippett at D4 and low rookie at D8.
Not based on cash generation but based on similar points and one additional keeper and saved trade.


Have funds to go Menzel to Luey but need to see Luey do something first.
