Final upgrade

Maric- possible groin concerns?
Cox- possible greater role up fwd
Mcevoy- the risky pick of the 3, in good form

the raven

Maric- Has been good all season. A few lean games early on but with all the carnage in the rucks his scores werent all that bad in comparison to the injuries. Potential groin injury/soreness has me a little concerned as ideally i want this ruck to play out the year and not need any more fix it trades. Means i will need to DG darley.

Cox- has been pretty solid all year with nic hac doing more ruck work. Role up forward a little worrying but just seems so solid even when playing up there. Will have to DG darley to baguley to get cox. May be rested later in season?

Mcevoy- In form also averaging 101 past 3 games after the bye round. Risky pick but could be a good unique 

NOTE- If i bring in mcevoy I can offload sexton who is out for the year to get in couch as f9. If I bring in cox or maric it means I will need to downgrade darley (or shaw) to baguley and then upgrade giles. Bags/couch will not be playing on ground but may need to pop in if things get really messy later on in the season.

At the end of the day im looking to add scoring power to my team so cox seems the logical choice but is he worth getting at the expense of backline depth?

I like McEvoy and brought him in myself last week. Cox is always a great option but in your situation McEvoy will save you a trade which is worthwhile at this stage of the season.

Maric and Cox should average similarly to each other but Maric's will be more consistent whereas Cox will have some BIG scores and some disappointing ones to average it out. Depending on which of those patterns pleases you most, pick one of them. Personally, I'd go Maric but both would be good. Nobody else should really be an option unless cash is a problem...

Cox.  Had him since the start and I really can't complain at what he produces each week.

Been more than happy with Cox this year

the raven

Yeah, well if i get in cox or maric means i commit to sexton as a roaming donut for the year. With this ill gain scoring power from cox/maric but if 2-3 late outs in one week sexton will still be in team.

One out of left field is Stefan Martin. He scores well when no other rucks, and cheaper than cox or maric. May be worth a thought with Melbourne ruck woes.

Three straight tons. Would have been a massive steal last week and is still a steal this week. Definitely worth considering.

On my never again list.  I got sucked in last year when he was a defender, and after ripping it up prior to me trading him in he was awful for me, and pretty much cost me a spot in the grand final all by himself.

Id go with Maric out of the 3. Not sold on McEvoy just yet but u cant deny his form and im sure coz will get a rest before the finals, And i dont think Maric was injured. I still think he was just rested. He might of been a bit sore but i bet he would of played if it was anyone else but the GC.

Fireballz

I've been happy with Cox and Maric (up until last week anyway) but I like Maric just a little bit more and don't think he will be rested again.
