im tempted to start cox too, sandi is in my line up atm but im thinking either use that money elsewhere or cash in bank

good luck this season mate!

you playing petrie at all glam?

you playing petrie at all glam?

trengove as 3rd ruck, and petrie in my forwards (so not really looking at him as a ruck).
With teams likely to play only 1 ruck this season due to the new sub rule, i think trengove is a good 3rd option, cos he will play off half back and then switch to ruck when brogan needs a rest.


IMO people are going in too lightly with thier ruck. Considering the bye i believe you need a reasonable 3rd ruck aswell, not just rookies, as you're gonna flush 100 points down the toilet 4 times a season unless you can cover the byes with an okay 3rd ruck. (I'm hoping Trengove is around the 75 average this year)

not overly happy with petrie forward, but at this price I've slotted him in there at the moment, however this may change before rd1.

Starting with both Cox and Sandi,

Dont want to have to waste trades on bring in either one throughout the year....

Lock and load ruck Dept has always been my number 1 this year.

I have cox, petrie ATM and planning to upgrade to sandi at some stage.
Pciking premiums with higher averages than him in other areas, if he gos down a little ill pick him up but Rucks is really the one place ill take a gamble.

i`m thinking that way lock in your rucks for the year(barring LTI) and leave them and not waste trades in that areai`m going cox and sandi with my bench still to be finalised.

i would say save the money and get cox and someone like petrie or fraser, they should score well enough and i really dont see sandialnds being able to go up in value. If you are going for overall than pump your midfield with supermremiums. TYhe guy who won last season started with weak rucks but had Ablett, Swan, Bartel and Ball.

I think, even without the cash diff, Coxy will get better than Sandi this year. Last year, Sandi averaged 95 down from 97. Coxy only got 85 average last year-mind you carrying an injury all year- but averaged 107 in 2009. If eagles will improve and Coxy stays fit, Dean will average 100+, possibly even 110. Cox and Petrie locked into my ruck.

[elephants]

BOTH! :D

SANDI!!!!
