Here's the situation:

Need one ruck and one forward.

Can afford anyone in either spot right up to cox and stevie J, but can't afford both at the same time. Also nowhere to spend minor savings.

Already have forwards Franklin Martin Sidebum.

What's your opinion? And more importantly, who would you pick in their place?

SJ is overpriced and should drop. There are many cheaper options who will score very similar to him.
Cox is expensive, but he's worth it. Personally I don't have either, but Cox is definitely an upgrade target for me.

Either option 2 or 4 up to you really, Cox is a dead set gun and will score well every week for you.
If anything you could give up stevie j for the likes of pav goodes or fyfe

Both are overpriced, I'd go Beams and Mumford. Both will score about the same as SJ/Cox but cost 100k less, which can upgrade a mid-pricer.

On the website thier gonna manage Cox (So might not play against the lower sides) due to a rest or 2 maybe, McEvoy and Jacobs don't have a big named 2nd ruck option so will shoulder most of the duties, Alot of upside in that ;-)

Mumford does seem a popular ruck choice this year. I'll keep an eye on beams, hopefully he gets a run in the nab so I can compare him to goodes and fyfe on form. All on the same bye as StevieJ was too which is handy.

Get Cox, better more affordable options in FWD line IMO.  ;)
