Why Having A North Melbourne Ruckman Will Drive You To Insantity

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

 ::)

just a small...little...GUT WRENCHING trend I picked up while following the NAB! firstly, it's obvious you can see that NM are experimenting the best that they can to facilitate two of the best ruckman (when in form) in the game. and this is when shower goes down.

NAB Cup Game 2 vs Sydney
- Goldstein subbed out for 34 at half time
- HMac tears it up and lands a strong 104
- North lose the game

NAB Cup Game 3 vs Western Bulldogs
- McIntosh subbed off after 24 points at half time
- Goldstein tops the Kangas scoring 78
- despite this, NM win

NAB Cup Game 4 vs Carlton
- both ruckmen play out a full game
- both score 67
- NM wins

is HMac REALLY a great option at that price with Goldstein stealing 20-25 ppg due to hitouts? me? I'm not willing to take that risk. are you? :)

I have one word for all people considering starting HMac:

Ivan 'Mighty Mullet' Maric  ;D

Better JS and more importantly, handier bye (round 13, meaning he can cover Giles and Cox/Sauce/Berger).

[Chelskiman]

Nope.  Haven't once bought into the HMac hype.

Why have Hmac OR Maric when Giles tonned up against Marcic??

Shhh, but Maric did score 47 in 45% TOG.

While Kruezer shared ruck duties with Hampson, yet still pulled out a 95 score

Conclusion Kruezer>>>Goldy/Hmac  :D

Yes, but he's also an extra $100k.
If I had a big hair pair then I would have Kreuz as my 2nd ruck for the season.

True, but he's 120k cheaper than Goldy  ;)

I was going Cox & Mummy for my rucks, but may go Cox & Kruezer instead. Tough choice as Mummy will surely rip Giles a new one in Rd 1..decisions decisions  :-\

[Colliwobblers]

minson and kruezer lock em in  :o

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

minson and kruezer lock em in  :o

LOL are you actually? :P

[elephants]

Minson is a valid option but his bye round doesn't help his cause for the rucks. Will Mumford really rip Giles apart??

[Colliwobblers]

no im too much of a chicken to lock in minson and kruze but freako tells me i should and so do all thier games in nabcup, still i won't be.

as for mummy v giles, YES. Just too strong with body work giles will be lucky to get many hitouts mummy should push him off most contests, unless giles is smart enough to work around him and get to the pill. he wouldn't want to pick it up tho cos mummy likes to tackle too :)

dont get me wrong giles will be in my team thinking of starting redden over him tho for round 1. mummy has to be the strongest body in the ruck to go up against.
