Mate, there are some pretty injury prone players in that list you just mentioned.
Just have that feeling that Preuss isn't going to disappear for long periods.

Totally true but we dont even know yet if preuss can switch and play as the forward like what happend round 1 when Goldy went 105.

all im saying is unless your team is perfect wait for more info and take the 30k price drop.

worse case pick up Buddy, JJK etc.. next week.


Fair point.

I wonder if he will come in when fit and replace witts. or joint rucking??
either way this will probably affect witts scoring.

Do you have Witts, are you worried? Currie is just as big a worry to Witts but it won't happen with the way he's playing.

Hah!

Nichols is a dead set spud!

No way will he replace Witts in the team and there is no room for him as a second ruck the way Witts is rucking ATM.

Nichols will just have to trod along in the 2's with Currie all season unless Witts gets injured or drops off in form.

Not sold on either Martin or Grundy to be honest. Any case to be made Mummy, take out his first round score and he looks good, is injury prone but?

Wouldn't trust mummy with his injuries.
In my case already have to trade Gawn and can't risk another ruck injury/trade. If I was to choose a ruck for scores durability and keeper status I'd go stef.
Witts cash is too good to pass up though and he's scoring as good as other premo rucks.....atm...

both will avg 20+ disp and 35+ taps?

no chance theyll avg under 100 as a sole ruck

My rucks are my least concern atm (SandiWitts with Nank forward)

Not going to touch the SandiWitts combo unless they get injured!  8)

Same here Juddy

I am happy with my rucks (Martilands with Nank in forwards) which I have had since Rd 1.  Was hoping Stef would be a nice unique but that looks like going out the window with ownership now 12.4% after starting season at 6%

Majak Daw available this week, Mason Wood back in VFL this week, Jarred Waite returning early next week. Kangas can't play them all.

Goldy, Preuss, Brown, Wood, Waite, Daw, Flower me, that's alot of talls to pick from.

its why im holding.

I reckon Daw wont be back this week though.

my prediction is Goldy plays more ruck then Preuss this week with preuss playing forward. Then when Daw and Wood coming back some big moves will be made.

We cant possibly see Goldy getting dropped can we?

Mason Wood if healthy i dont see getting held out for preuss. Preuss is our future ruck but Wood is our future Forward.
Maybe your right Goldy was played FWD last week and had little affect Preuss hit the scoreboard more playing more ruck
the coach might reverse it this week so Goldy would want to perform and if Preuss plays well when rucking and kicks 3 or 4 goals when forward Goldy might be in trouble interesting to see what unfolds

in truth nobody is correct and nobody knows how his role will progress i dont think Todd or Brad even know. Im just going to back in a premo and my judgement on the structure with the forwards and the fact that a first year player who converted from another sport cant push out a guy who was a top 5 player in the comp not long ago.


Can't push him out but can and may continue to impact him.

And even if Preuss does go back to the 2's whos to say his form or North's looking to the future doesn't see him pop back in from time to time?

structure of the squad.

Mason Wood, Jarrad Waite and Ben Brown are better forwards then Preuss and Goldy. Then there is Majak to add a further difficulties.

so really Preuss would have to kick Wood, Waite or Brown out of the squad and then thats assuming Daw doesnt have a spot.

you just cant play that many talls. The logical thing to do would be to play the best ruck and that is Todd and then the back up ruck as the sole ruck in the 2s so that your getting as much experience into preuss in his actual position.

playing Goldy and preuss 50-50 can only work when there arent other forwards in the squad.

Brown was the only other forward in the team last week with Daw Wood Waite all injured.

My Ruck set up is Goldy Sandi Pruess. Didn't antisipate Pruess affecting Goldy so much. I think the best option is to sell Goldy to witts and use the cash next week for an upgrade.

Certainly very happy with starting this trio too, lets hope this combination continues to produce the goods  :)

i am also pleased with my trio of kruzerlands and nank forward. havent seen it in any teams thus far so i presume its quite unique
