Ruck Emergencies

[m_zulian]

My rucks are Cox (wce), Sandilands (freo), Moran (Ade), Keefe (Coll)

Moran and Keefe have been named in their respective extended lineups for this Sunday.
If Keefe and Moran were NOT named I was going to upgrade Moran to Z. Smith while Sandilands is injured for 4 weeks. Then use Z. Smith as a valuable back up for the remainder of the season.

Either one or possibly both of my emergencies being named in their teams final lineup, I now must consider what my best option would be this week. If I do not trade this week and neither Moran or Keefe play consecutive games, it means Z. Smith will be considerably more expensive next week as he still has a negative b/e.

So, even though I may have a back up ruckman being named this week I see an upgrade to Z. Smith my best option due to his job security and his negative b/e.

Tell me your thoughts....

smith is toooooo expensive to jump on now. missed the boat mate. you could try andrew browne from richmond. now main ruck at richmond becuase graham dropped and has good js. he has bye next week but have to hope moran is named. only 122k

ill swap you you can have ryder i can have sandi. i have no use for him any more

Yeah, the Smith option has probably sailed. Do you have Petrie in the Fwds?

Trade out Moran for Tippet and then use the MPP to swap Petrie in as your 2nd ruck

Don't have Petrie. I didn't want too many of my players to miss rd 1

Save the trade mate. You have cover.

Gold Coast have no byes left, thus his bench cover is valuable. I know his price will not increase as much as a rookie priced player such as Jacobs, Hibberd. It is his scoring that is important. 
It's not like Smith hasn't been scoring well. He has scored the 17th highest total out of all ruckman. Out of the ruckman that have scored better Sandilands, Ryder, Mumford, Graham, Ottens, Bellchambers, Mcevoy, Warnock are all out this week.
