Which Rucks?

[Goosey]

I had Ryder in early versions of my team at F3/4 for ruck cover, but he was so disappointing in the first two games of JLT it reminded me of seasons past when I have picked him and he has disappointed, so his good game today won't convince me to pick him this year. Nankervis is cheaper and looks to have R1 to himself at Richmond so am picking him. I had Sinclair then Hickey as FWD/RUC cover last year, only had to use it once I think, but I think it's better than having to pay for a RUC rookie at R3.

And now Hickey puts his hand up as a sole ruck just to further confuse the issue.

When in doubt stick with the Guns.     The more confused I get the more likely I start Goldy/Sandi and upgrade to Gawn after Goodwin gives up on the dual ruck idea.

29 possessions is a huge effort.

All this confusion makes me feel better about picking Witts, time to look and work out who is dominating.

Agree totally. And that early bye for him is perfect to force us to make a move on him at some early stage

But surely by the time you work out who is dominating it's too late? What can you do with a 200K ruck if you want to jump on who's hot?

I don't think Witts would still be 200K by this stage of the season...

Witts will be 323k by round 7 based on a 75 average & 340k based on an 80 average. By that stage there will be a some bargains on the board.

What's funny is Witts was dominated by Archie Smith 3 weeks ago and everyone was saying he is a horrible pick etc. Now he has an alright game against Tom Boyd and people are locking him into R2.

All this ruck confusion

I'm thinking of just going YOLO for season 2017 and starting heaps of mid price risky players

Will play around with it now and see what i come up with

He's a rookie with 40 games experience and a high ceiling, if he bombs it's no big deal. His form in the VFL last year was pretty good and you would expect at 24 things are about to click. If things don't turn out he gets traded by round 3.   

As far as the other rookies go only Taranto seems a reasonable bet to average more however he'd have to pull off some Ollie Wines type numbers to average 75.

It's probably too late by R7, especially if 75 avg means a few 50's to go with a few 100's, only to have made 125K. But this is just my opinion, I prefer to lock in something a bit more solid in the rucks  :)
