Would having Rockliff, Zorko and Karnezis be too many bris players? What should i do to my FWD line? I can use the $$ from Karnezis and should I keep Buddy?
F: Buddy, Cox, Rockliff, Wright/Karnezis+$$/Stevie J/Zorko, Dusty, Macaffer

Is it just me or is that a big forward line?

Hey mate,

What are your thoughts on below rucks:

Goddard, Gibbs, Duffield, Heppell, Goodes, Pittard, Stevenson, Terlich
GAJ, Pendles, JPK, Cotchin, Mundy, K. Stevens, B. Hill, O'Meara, Crouch, Viney
Leuey, Currie, Daw, Rowe
Cox, Ryder, Rockliff, Stevie J, JJK, Karnezis, Macaffer, Neade

Thoughts are either Currie or Daw will play each week and Leuey should be fit. If a problem I can put Cox or Ryder in ruck via Rowe, and bring Macaffer on ground.

Thoughts??!

Hey J

Who will benefit from Suckling's ACL tear?

And, the easy part, who won't?  >:( :'(

I think this injury hurts Birchall tbh

Maybe this opens the door for someone like Hill or Andersen to make their way into the team?

[Jay]

Is zorko worth it? Can he handle a tag? - If not who should I replace him with (already have Cox, Rockliff, D Martin and Karnezis).

Yeah he is worth it mate - cant see him getting tagged this season with Rich, Rockliff and Redden getting most of the attention. Also a bit under-priced due to sub game ;) Has proven he can go big and I think he can be consistent in doing so.

Also, dont worry about having both Rocky and Zorko - will work well mate :D

[Jay]

Where should I spend some cash? M5 or D4? Not sure about 3 def rooks or 4 mid rooks?

Thanks

I would spend the cash on M5 mate - if you dont have 5 gun mids you fall behind the 8-ball early whereas a rookie at D4 is not so bad - spoilt for back rooks this year.

[Jay]

Will get around to the others in the morning :)

Hey Jay
Few things I like your opinion about
Looking at Maric and Jenkins ruck setup I have Cox in my forwards already
Thoughts on these players Mayne and Newnes they both have had fantastic preseasons.
Thanks

I think that is a great ruck setup :) Maric is an elite ruck and I expect Jenkins to improve massively now he has the Tippett role. And having Cox in your fwds will give you some nice flexibility.

I think Mayne is a solid SC performer that will increase his average, maybe to 90? Good unique pick but would be more inclined to select him in sportsbet.

I like the look of Newnes, been watching his pre-season and has been going well. If you can squeeze him in then go for it. Love to see some more unoque picks :D

[Jay]

No pressure J,

But torp is fielding the same questions as you!!  :P

My question then is, who will provide the better answers, you or torp?

Easy question Doc.

1. I am a veteran coach
2. I have over 200 cheers

:P So, yes I will be the better answer provider no doubt!

[Jay]

Few things to consider for a vet coach.

Rich as a mid price POD in mids (Similar price to Mundy or Fyfe)
3 Prem - Fwd with Varcoe, Karnezis, McAffer as F4 - F6, Risky but will it be worth it if they fire.

I like Rich as a player but he often gets the no.1 tag from the opposition so does not quite rack up the disposals he needs, to take himself to premium level.

I am looking at a similar strucutre with my forwards mate - I can not see anything wrong with it as long as yoir prem. choices are solid. There are so few good fwd rooks to choose from!

What did you rank in SC last year Jay?

[MTTY]

Hey Jay, considering these options in my defence.

1. Goddard, Gibbs, Duffield, Grimes, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie)

2. Goddard, Gibbs, Duffield, Myers, Armstrong, rookie (rookie, rookie)

Hey Jay,

In a predicament, Sam Jacobs and Dusty Martin vs Mumford and Tex Walker.

Both combos cost the same $$

[Jay]

Would having Rockliff, Zorko and Karnezis be too many bris players? What should i do to my FWD line? I can use the $$ from Karnezis and should I keep Buddy?
F: Buddy, Cox, Rockliff, Wright/Karnezis+$$/Stevie J/Zorko, Dusty, Macaffer

I think that Rocky, Zorko and Karnezis is a bit many Lions there mate. Would look to cut either Karnezis or Zorko as Rocky is a lock!

Forward line looks good. Would take Karnezis + the cash over Wright mate, I hear he may have a tagging role this year and we do not want that! But I would also take Zorko over SteveJ especially since Stevie is missing Round 1 due to suspension.

How about Buddy, Cox, Rockliff, Zorko, Martin, Macaffer with Lee and Neade on the bench?

Risky ruck strategy but big reward if Leuey + Currie/Daw kill it. If going this strategy must have some fwds who you can swing into the rucks as you have - well done.

As for the rest of the team it looks really good. Apart from I would prefer to see Wines than B. Hill in your mids.

Looks a good side mate - good luck with the rucks ;)
