2019 Rucks

[LaHug]

The way Max Gawn's foot just rolled is the exact same way I broke my foot and destroyed all the ligaments in my ankle. Obviously that's the worst case scenario but that's a minimum 6 week injury if it's that worst case...

[YoungGun]

Don't wish an injury on anyone, but as a Gawn non-owner - a slice of luck that will be very happily taken.

[Jimmykidd]

lol he played the game out. dont think its THAT bad but he might miss a few

[no eye deer]

Marshall just won me my matchup I reckon. Best buy this year@$370,000. Last four games have been huge! :D

Should have kept my flowering mouth shut. Lost by three with certain other ruck captain....

[Money Shot]

Traded him down to O’brien when he was on the bubble and it has planned out pretty decent after all.

Could almost do a straight swap in a couple of weeks :)

All depends on his availability this week, Goodwin reckons he'll be right.

Hope so.
Not sure about what I’d do to be honest if he was out.
In my case I’ve only got 2 trades left.
1 week might look at a doughnut
2 weeks might consider a Lycett trade into the forwards either by trading Cripps and moving one of Danger or TK to mids in Cripps’ place assuming Cripps is still out.
Another possibility is looking at a Lycett trade for Danger. Danger may have a hip pointer and be doubtful... ? means ruck cover on one hand but no Danger on the other.
3 weeks + and just trade Gawn to Lycett and be done with it.

Teams will be interesting to see when they are named.
Losing Gawn is going to be a nightmare if it happens.
Well done to the few who kept ROB as cover.

Some options I'll be considering, bearing in mind I only have 3 trades.

1. Baker to Hoff (assuming he's recalled which I think he will be)
2. Baker to Chol (will then switch Bines to the forward line)
3. Gray to Lycett

Still plenty to consider, Danger being out could also hurt my plans but will have to wait & see.

[Bully]

Just realised Chol isn't DPP, that sucks big time. Reckon Hoff is the best bet if recalled.

[js19]

I stuffed up massively last week, and there’s no way back from it...

Considered the option to get Bont and Lycett for Rocky and Baker. Instead got Fyfe for Rocky to wait for a Mundy type swingman, and not enough money left for Lycett. Lycett would have been a F6/7 as well. Now I’m kicking myself 24/7, and have no proper cover with Cripps, Gawn and Danger in doubt...

Hoff probably the only choice as mentioned.

[LaHug]

At least you guys don't have the dream bench combo of... Bines/Young/Gardner. If Gawn misses, I'll have to trade Duursma to Westhoff, meaning Logue might be at D6 for a long time. And that depends on Whitfield playing and no other defenders getting injured. Could be ugly.

[Samsturmfels]

Chances of sweet getting a game for the dogs this week? He did get 60 hitouts and 10 tackles in the vfl on the weekend. Tim English has also struggled in the last 2 weeks

[Sabretooth Tigers]

 :)

Could Zac Clarke get a game with Bellchambers out. Could be handy if Gawn is out. Have ZC on ruck bench. Forward and defence bench look like an ad for cemetery plots.

;)

Got the same. Although I can swap Burgess & Gardner lol. Anyway, just thought I would throw in the possibility that Hoff doesn't get a recall. Gonna be an interesting week. I have already made my trades on the presumption that Gawn & Dramafield both play. Leave it & dream big for now & hit the reverse button when the teams come out I suppose.
