Bargain Ruck Theory 2010

[Flame]

You decided what you're doing Nick!!??

[nick1408]

Ok, decided.  I have a must win game this week.  One of the leaders throughout the year.  My team will look like this:

B: Waters Harbrow Strijk
HB: Enright Hodge Goddard
C: Boyd (vc) Stanton Montanga
HF: Rockliff Thomas O'Keefe
F: Morton Johnson Giansiracusa
R: McEvoy Ablett (c) Selwood
Bench: Russell Swan (c) Cox, Chapman
Emerg: Warnock Bower Blair

McEvoy comes in due to oppisition having Warnock as his only ruck backup.  Morton comes in for Pavlich due to his 99 average over the last three and a gamble required to win. 

Opposition looks like this:

Goddard
Hodge
Scotland
Enright
Malcelski
Hargrave
Kelly
Nason
Strijk

Ablett
Hayes
Selwood
Bartel
Gibbs
Judd
Gysberts
Shuey

Sandilands
Cox
Warnock
McNamara

Didak
Giansiracusa
Pavlich
O'Keefe
Rockliff
Brown
Podsiadly
N. Riewoldt
R. Henderson

So I expect it to be close but a Brown late withdrawl would be nice!

Risky taking Pav out!!

[nick1408]

Yeah, I needed to risk something and that seemed the best risk.  I think it was all for nothing now as Bower and Russell are doing bugger all.

[nick1408]

Morton got 15 more points than Pavlich so that is in my favour so far.  Stanton killed me but it is still game on.  He is 704 from eight players, no captain score, I am 668 from 6 and captain has played

[roo boys!]

It's gonna go down to the wire!

[nick1408]

1631 from 16 players, no captain to 1854 18 players and captain has played.  I am still in it but it is tight!  I need Brown or Reiwoldt to be late withdrawls or Goddard to pull out after scoring 1 point

[nick1408]

Gameover.  Reiwoldt, Hayes and Goddard have consigned me to a loss

[Justin Bieber]

Unlucky nick :(. Roo and Goddard killed it today.

[nick1408]

2292 to 2382.  Oh well, I guess the gambles through the year didn't work

[Flame]

I good score to go out on, but disappointing I guess...I have my elimination this weekend so hope to make it to the GF.

[elephants]

my rucks could be petrie and coxxy/jolly/nic nat(unlikely) next year. looking at some cheap premos

[nick1408]

Petrie or Hale would be good but Kruezer would be my first cheap ruck I think

[elephants]

will kruezer get a discount? (under 10 games) if so would a petrie/kruezer be a better combo than petrie/seaby or petrie/cox?

[jamster]

hmm kroozer should be 300k and average 80ish, will hampson and warnock steal points from him, next year i want 2 cheap mid pricer rucks (lock and forget) that will average 80 or so

but then i would lose 20 points each round unless i had sandi?

so sandi or kreuzer?
