im still confused on my ruck/fwd option,  i have gone with sandi/witts big risk but works well if it pays off.

Luke Strnadica Vs Dacrey Cameron.

With Strnadica, he has way more loopholes for VC/C but cameron has a chance of playing this year and making me cash.

What do you guys think?

Strnadica. Save Darcy Cameron as a downgrade target.

Preuss and the other 5 debutants will stay in the team as long as they're playing well. If they're starring, they're staying. A few players like Hansen, Atley and Brown would want to bring their A game.

lets say Brown isnt named this week. If North have a healthy Brown and Wood waiting for selection, Preuss would have to play out of his mind to keep a spot over him.

Wood is the future forward of the club.

Believe that Preuss is the Goldy replacement though.

Agreed, but Wood is  as good a wingman as a forward and has many more options of who makes way when he's fit. I can see Preuss kicking Brown out the squad and we play 2 top line ruckmen. Let's face it Brown aint the best ruckman in the team. There's a showerload of teams that wouldn't have a 206 cm backmen to take care of Preuss and the resting Goldy.

Brown is a much better forward then Preuss is. When you have Goldy you might as well stick him in the ruck all game.

Brown is our leading goal kicker, wouldnt drop him just because he cant ruck. He is 199cm so only 3cm shorter then Goldy.

Brown + Wood i see being our long term Key forwards.

plus Majak Daw will be in the mix too, remeber he was injured preseason they talked him up all of last year and most of the preseason before the injury. Out soo much work into him doubt he just gets dumped. Preuss i think will play a few get dropped then play in the VFL as the ruck. His role is to replace Goldy he is the only guy in the team who can play as a ruck, the other guys are forwards who can ruck.

After much thinking I have decided to go Gawn + Sandi R1 and 2 with Nank FWD I figure after round 2 if Gawn is spudding it up it is easier to go down to Witts than visa versa

Still totally agreed ^ with everything you say and this would be our best setup in seasons past. I just think Brad Scott is going to turn his team on it's ear. I love Browny and he is our future full forward, but he has had no pre season. Only started running  and joined full trainng a few weeks back.

Goldy was clearly hampered with injury last season (ankle or knee ?) and I think Brad Scott will look after him a little better this year. Who knows? what Brad is thinking. Preuss would know better than you or I that his form will keep him in the team. He just has to bring his JLT form every week and I think he stays probably like you said til Wood is fit and back in the squad. This pre season, Preuss has gone past Brown and Daw.

Grundy vs Goldy
Currently struggling with this, but am going Grundy myself.

Can big Steff Martin get back to his best? Seems to be a bit of a POD. I think because he burnt so many last year haha.

I had Grundy from the beginning but I have now gone with Witts and used the change elsewhere

Money Shot

After watching the first 5 minutes on the game I reckon Sandi will go 150+

I hope he does

Was the biggest lock/bargain of the year

As long as his fit (which he has been for years now) I'm expecting him to remain my keeper R2 all year

Long way to go for 150 :(
All this talk about Preuss, Spencer, Archie Smith taking points from the top rucks, did anyone think of Griffin taking from Sandi?

Pretty sure the stats were Sandi scores more when Griffin in playing.

Agree RD
Watchingthe replay (on an overseas stream) Sandi was in charge - should have equated to much better scoring than eventuated
