To start the season I chose Maric and 3 rookie rucks and boy did that pay off until now!!

So there I was with 4 trades left in round 14 with hargrave and giles on my field and I knew hargrave was becoming a carrot so i was stuck with 1 little dilemma who to choose ryder or roughhead...

I went ryder as i felt roughy may get rested during the finals after 1 and a half games i was stoked ryder was playing well and roughy was stinking it up against GWS. Then the shower hit the fan!! roughie went bang in the second half and ryder went twang with his calf at training the following week. FMDTR(ucks)

I have a complete team (except FLOWERING BROUGHTON) but that's another story

now my dilemma is a simple one I have 3 main options and 2 minor options

Please help a struggling dter out

also 2 trades left

options:
1.jacobs: in red hot form and I think he will play a every game
2. Roughie: great footy all year but im worried about his final resting
3.Cox: great player love the man but i will have to use my final trades to get him
4. Mcevoy: not to keen but is a good option!
5.Mumford: could be great but not the biggest fan this year

all comments will be appreciated and cheered :)

I think you've answered it yourself mate. Jacobs! Not worth using both of your last trades to get Cox.

The Sauce  ;D I did it last round and very happy!

Jacobs for sure with the amount of trades you have left.  If you had 4 trades then Cox, but you don't, so Jacobs.

Mr.Craig

I can't really see Roughy getting rested, especially with Big Max close to a return. However that could have a negative impact aswell with a reduced amount of points from hitouts.

I've never been on the Jacobs bandwagon but given he comes up against Freo, Bris, Melb and GC in the league finals he should score as good as any ruck going around.

His run home was the deciding factor on me bringing him in last week.

looks like a ryder to jacobs is in order!!!
i didnt even see his final run home it is amazing i really believe he will dominate and adelaide will finish 1st or 2nd
