Top 2/5 rucks, 2018 Thread

[Adamant]

Might have a crack at a Gawnilands combo. Hodor's calf injury may ensure a solo Sandi for the first half of the season, and the big fella looks in ripping nick. 10 games at 100 before a straight swap to Ryder/Witts after their bye looks delicious.

I thought I recall that Darcy seems to be over his calf issue and completed a full training session last week?

He might have. RTB said a few days ago he's 'hopeful' that Darcy will be right for the second JLT game. Either way, I don't think he'll be in the side at least until the bye (barring injury to Sandi). IF he does play before then, he'll be predominately up forward and shouldn't affect 211 too much.

What about Big Boy McEvoy? Not saying I have him or want to pick him but would be interesting if anyone has. Don’t think I’ve seen his name mentioned on here

Noones spoken about the fact that Gawn and Goldy have the same bye...seems to throw a spanner in the works.  :-\

A lot of people have. But tbh it is probably a good thing as it's more players we have for the R14 bye :P

Maybe I just hadn't noticed as I only looked at the bye fixtures today.  Is it the same as AF where top 18 players scores count?  Can't remember from last season...

Yes it's top 18 so shouldn't be too much if an issue

Yeah cool, makes things a bit better.

Im not worried about the bye issue, as im really good in that bye for the rest of my team.

SO where is Nic Nat at? is he viable?

Will probably line up round 1 but is guaranteed to miss some games

I think im going to take the punt, if he comes off hes a great POD. could run Lycett as R3 JIC.

Yeah you could but that would cost about 740 k. 465 + 275.
For 520 + 120 or 100 k less u could have Jacobs/Grundy + Cameron.
That's 100k extra u are missing from the rest of the team.
If NN gets 1-2 week rests you would have 465+ k sitting on the pine each time. Or use two trades to go to Sauce or even Ryder/Kreuz who you could just start with anyway.

Gawn is a lock. As for R2 I am taking a punt on Zac Smith. He looks set to further improve on his output as Geelongs first ruck. If he can move from 11th to the top 5 or 6 scoring ruckman in the comp I will take that. Touch wood.
