Braydon Preuss - Goldy insurance?

[uncleswagy]

Ive been toying with the idea of going with Preuss as r3. if not playing he can act as a loophole (north 8 sunday games) and if goldy rests a week or gets a minor injury he should get the call up and prevent me from getting a duck egg.

Keen on some feedback with the plan. do you think it would be better off banking a little amount of cash and going Strndica, or does this plan seem good to you.

A lot will do this. Whilst I was aware of the possibility I've never given it much thought as I see Strnadica as a better option for loopholing over the season. DPP adds another layer that Preuss doesn't have... if needed will trade but maybe Cameron could stand in as Fwd DPP ... bit of water to go under the bridge yet but Preuss isn't likely to be my R3 though I see the logic in why others will... might work out very well.

I suppose that depends if you are going Sandi ? because Preuss is ruck only or if your free balling and going with no cover

Ive gone gawn and goldy

I had the same feeling about strndica being the only option but that was before i saw Preuss in the JLT, i am a north fan and didnt expect him to play the way he has, dont think he will start alongside goldy if daw is still in the team but if one goes down id assume hes straight in, do agree that the dpp is a big factor too

Not Goldy Insurance, more like goldy KRYPTONITE.       
Lets start an online petition, no pruess.

The supercoach in me agrees

the north fan says no way, love how he throws his big frame around

What happens if Gawn misses a week? Preuss is only insurance for Goldy where as dpp gives you options like Cameron if named or Nank etc so insurance for both rucks

I get what your saying, wont be picking nank personally, dont think hes gonna score enough to be on on field forward, just my opinion, also do we know cameron will play?

Thought id also add another layer to the conversation, if pruess does play along side goldy he can be downgraded to strnadica later on and i could pick cameron if he does play round one and use the swing later on

To add a further layer, this option also opens up the possibility of having a non playing M11 if Preuss does start.  This would reduce having to find another mid rookie, and if choosing the right one can open up dpp in either mid-def or mid-fwd.  Still a lot left to happen prior to Round 1, plenty of different permutations.

We pick r3 as a loophole because generally there isn't a cheap ruck who gets regular games so it's forced most years therefore we use it as a loophole

Cash generation is way more important so I wouldn't be passing on a mid rookie and starting a donut at M11

Preuss down to strad is a better option, but if pruess gets dropped after a game or two you're flowered

What happens Round 1 when the Roos name both, Goldy and Preuss.Then it's coverage for Gawn. Or peoples not starting Goldy if Preuss's in the same team.

Just because we have always used R3 as the loophole doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be set in stone, there is no difference in risk between having a Preuss at R3 should he get picked and say a Jade Gresham type who played the first two weeks and then got dropped. 

That is the risk you always run with rookies, cash generation is reliant on playing no matter which position.

Not saying this is the right option, just saying that with the apparent lack of viable mid-rookies so far, it needs to be looked at as an option, all dependant on available round 1 rookies anyway.

Edit - re-read this, meant to clarify that the risk is for cash generation. obviously as cover you would still have m9 and m10, however the point is moot if you use strnadica and no forward/ruck link (of which I wouldn't say the options really scream pick me)

Great point there, there seems to be one every year that gets dropped after a couple of games. really im not sure picking a loophole option is truley a necessary thing because of this. might as well try to pick a full team of playing rookies and wait for our first down grade (5 weeks?) to put a loophole player in our teams and get a little extra early cash gen

Very true mate, and that is also an option to try and fully exploit the cash generation.  Ideally if Darcy Cameron gets picked I'm tossing up utilizing him at F8 or R3 as well, so many different ways to go that I think you can end up with a huge boost if you do it right.

No guarantees he'll play round one but sounds like hes going to get games at some point
