RUCKS yet again!!!

[digitss]

mummy or Berger?? and reasons! GO!!

[ben_020285]

Mummy will average better than Leuenberger but Leuenberger is more likely to play all 22 games due to Mumford's temper.

Leuenberger should still easily average more than 100 plus he's 60k cheaper so he's probably the better option.

Who are your other rucks? It might make the decision easier..

[digitss]

other rucks at this stage are Kruze(or Hmac) redden, and giles!

Chose to stay away from Cox - Price tag and age.
chose to stay away form Sandi - Durability and Article about being rested

[tor01doc]

I was all over Mummy Leue combo but $$$ has forced me away.

I'll be a bit cautious and leave Mummy as Leue will be fine all year and I might look to upgrade to Cox (best around) later.

My 2nd is either McEvoy or HMc (but don't tell felsty).

Agree Sandi risky.

Maybe Jacobs worth a look with very little competition and a pretty good midfield to play with.

[ben_020285]

HMac & Mumford or Kreuzer & Leuenberger.

I would choose Kreuzer & Leuenberger as they should both be number 1 rucks at their clubs. Question marks over HMac V Goldstein for number 1 ruck spot and Mumford's temper will most likely mean that he will miss some games during the year.

[digitss]

So everyone has agreed that Cox is an upgrade target and that sandi is risky!

i believe that berge's can average the ton the year.

The questions remains on the temporary 2nd ruck!

I agree with alot of you..

Hmac is value for money but will fight goldie for SC points and game time.
Kruze is also value for money but theres a question on his health/out put ability? The one thing he has over Hmac is he is 1 ruck option. Plus he plays the ground better??
Jacobs, i have looked at him and your right he does go unchallenged but at his price tag i dont feel comfortable giving him the gig.
Mummy, has a temper and will probably miss some games. But boy can he score in bunches!!
McEvoy - i dont know to much about, he will be running with a very good midfield which should up his output.

[ben_020285]

I think that if you can start with Cox then that is a bonus. I don't think there's any doubt that he will be the number 1 ruckman again this year.

I think that it is best to set and forget in the rucks. So any 2 out of Cox, Sandi, Mummy, McEvoy and Leuey would be fine.

McEvoy and Leuey would be the most cost effective of the lot. So i would try to squeeze them in at the very least.

Too much risk involved for mine with players like Goldy, McIntosh, Kruezer, Minson etc.

mummy! i reckon he will be along with cox the best ruckman this year. the safest pick IMO.

leunberger could have more upside though if he continues his form of late last seaosn.

I know you're not too keen on Jacobs, but check out his opponents in the first 5 games. Could be money well spent...

Gold Coast
Western Bulldogs    
Hawthorn    
GWS Giants
Port Adelaide

mummy's my no.1 ruck this year , with T. west no.2 .     thoughts???

[Usman]

west seems like a good smokie option. He is one of those players that i wouldnt be surpised really push his avg up alot with the number 1 ruck possie.

[4INAROW]

im iffy bout jacobs, mainly coz i havnt watched much of adelaide over the years and hadn't really heard his name.

can any1 give me a good reason to pick him apart from his early draw that i don't know about. btw my r1 is cox.
