There are a few premium rucks capable of pulling in some big scores but which two do you think will outscore all others over the next 4 weeks and why?

My theory is that ruckman playing against Geelong, Port, GC, Brisbane and Melbourne are going to dominate so I've gone with Jacobs (Bris, Melb, GC) and McEvoy (Mel, Geel plus a soft game against GWS).

What's does everyone else think?

I've got Giles and am definitely rolling with him this week. Two strong weeks in a row and posted 134 against GCS earlier in the year.

I've got Cox / McEvoy and very happy with that, but see your logic. You can nearly count on a ton for a ruckman against Port these days, and the others have weaker ruck departments.

Been asking myself that same question over last month or so.

I've got Cox /Giles. Originally the plan was to keep Giles as Backup and get another Prem. However he has scored so well last 2 rounds, and has GC and Dees next 2. After THAT is when I might grab Jacobs either for Campbell (hopefully he's gone up a bit more) or Giles if cash is tight. GWS play Saints and North final 2 rounds.

I reckon Maric,Jacobs,McEvoy and Goldstein will do well over finals. Cox and Nic - Nat are too hard to predict. Hopefully Coxs' ankle will be fine but even still the 2 of them have averaged well but VERY inconsistent. Cox can pump out a 150 or a 75 just as easily. Nic - Nat the same. It all depends on ruck-time, if Kennedy comes back, if Darling and Lynch get the marks and goals etc.

Mumford I really wanted but Pyke is stealing ruck-time and he's still not fully back to form.
