Who will that ruckman be in 2013?

Barra17 · December 17, 2012, 06:32:33 PM

Hmac was my 2nd ruck ::)

Zac Clarke will be one of those guys at some stage, just cant pick when it will be.

Would he have to be a lead ruck then? So when Sandi retires? That year he would be worth it

Bellchambers i reckon. Could well be in my team round 1!

Bellchambers has all the 'signs.'

But watch out for Mumford if fit. 2012 really wasn't his year.

Bells in showing brilliant signs but the likes of a fit Ryder + Gumbleton, along with Daniher, Hille and Crameri have me worried just a little as to how each players TOG will be spread out. one to watch though.

Dont go near clarke unless Sandi goes down, even then id go Griffin.

Goldy is brilliant value as we know what he can do when Hmac isnt around he just needs to pull his foot out his ass.

Mumford could explode, however even if he stays injury free this pre-season hes pretty much a tickign time bomb. remeber players like sandy/mummy, this bigger guys find it harder to keep such huge figures in tip top shape.

Mcevoy is an option, gets around the ground well however Stanley worries me a little, hopefully he plays more fwd cos Kozy is a spud...

Looking into Maric again purely cos he has no competition, Jacobs in a similar boat with Jenkins having to fill Tippets boots.

tbagrocks · December 19, 2012, 09:52:09 PM

Very tempted to go McEvoy, imo Maric will be the man but, value says Goldy is the guy, Mummy may struggle to reach his former heights, Jacobs and Nic are SCers hopefully Leuey bangs fittness

Another thing to be aware of and make sure it's all cleared up over the off season is Maric's OP... Hopefully should be ok now that he's had a bit of rest but just something that needs to be checked ;)

Yehh thats something to watch and the only thing stopping me from locking him in right now. was tearing it to shreds before his groins started to play up. Forced to play out the rest of the season which hurt his scores quite significantly. if he can go injury free i think he could almost go 105+ for the year

yep me too, really considering him except I really think that the value pick out of the ruck department could well be NicNat given the new ruck rules and being like 50K cheaper than Maric/Cox.

azza707 · December 19, 2012, 10:23:52 PM

I think people are already starting to over compensate with this ruck rule a bit. HO are only worth 1 point (Obviously) so some ruckman may struggle with this new rule, but might only mean that they get 5 less hit outs for example, 10 abolsute maximum ( wont happen every game). i think youre top end ruckman shouldnt be too affected by this new rule as theyll still kick goals up forward and dominant around the ground.

Maric is also very tempting considering Richmond will very well be in the fight for top 8. (I know we say it every year, but with Martin, Cotchin, Deledio, Maric, Riewoldt and a fit Dylan Grimes they can put up a very good fight).
