Which ruck has most scope for improvement this year?

[Dutchie64]

I am struggling for a ruck atm.

Have got Cox in my forward line but not sure who to go with to pair up with Luey

At this stage most people seem to have gone with Goldy for durability/price rather than a lift in points scored?! Am I correct in assuming this?

Who would have the biggest scope of improvement this year? Bellchambers, Jacobs or even......Zac Smith?

Currently I have McEvoy but am not sure about his selection in my team (haven't got anymore money in the kitty to go to a higher priced ruck)

PS. Like most I had a horror run with rucks last year.......Mumford, followed by Sandi. At least my cheap ruck didn't let me down last year......

zac smith looks likely to have a brekaout year, starting his third preseason ( well fourth if you count the year before the suns joined the afl) , hasnt missed too many games and with the players around him also getting better, it can only help him to push up his avg to at least 85+ i reckon

[Toga]

Mumford, Zac Smith, Bellchambers & Goldstein's all looking at an improvement in average this season I would think ;)

[Mr.Craig]

Well, I think Longer has the biggest scope for improvement but obviously you shouldn't pick him as R1.

I say Jacobs.

[yorgis]

might take a punt on griffin from freo, reckon he'll do pretty well in sandi's place. he'll prolly get dropped when he comes back

but, by then we'll get a better idea of which ruckman will be on song. he averaged about 82 in his last 10 games in dt

and about 95 in sc. he just may sense its his opportunity to cement his place. sandi is getting toward the end of the road

and is copping injury after injury

What do you think bellchambers will average this year? more then big Ivan?

Huge risk with Saints and Sydney first up... McEvoy + Hickey then Mumford + Pyke. Smith has some easy fixtures after that, but I'll hop on if he shows some form and take a punt on starting someone else.

I reckon 90-95 if he does take on the role as our number 1 ruck. Will watch the next two weeks closely.

[elephants]

Zac Smith or Bellchambers.

I'm so very tempted to get on Zmith, reckon he will really establish himself and nudge 85!

people are picking goldy becase he is priced at 80 and averaged 99 in 2011. He was hurt last year by hmac playing in the same squad, Hmac is gone now. Goldy played through injury and sickness last year, however if you count the games where he was actually fit and health he averaged high 90s with Hmac out of the squad.

I have him out of the side at the moment with cox and burger in the rucks. If he goes alright in the nab he is back in.

However if you have cox up front just bring him into the ruckline, there are better forwards than rucks. So bring cox in the rucks and pick up someone like cloke, sylvia etc...

Cox Goldy Mummy Burger are the only rucks i would look at.

I do agree with you on that strategy and it is certainly an option, especially with the 44 trades this season.

Maybe I'm still "scarred" from last season with my ruck selection and have gone with the DPP option with Rowe as R3/4

I'll have a play around and see if it improves things (on paper at least.....LOL)

Thanks for the great responses to the thread guys!!! :)

I reckon people think he won't score as well as he did last yer.

Don't have him in DT atm but have him in my UF league  8)
