but Nicnat is outscoring Cox convincingly  :-\ Nicnat is ready, and as for Sandi well who knows how he would score, he'd have to play first..

I don't say this to be argumentative but I just don't get the reticence. Time will tell I spose.

you are correct, I wasn't clear I was referring to the scoring in DT of those two ruckmen over many previous seasons, and them being the type of players that DT scores well.

no doubt nicnat will be the best ruck option in both comps eventually as he has started to get his hands on plenty of the ball as well as winning hitouts, and he kicks goals. complete package really just needs his 20 possessions, a goal or two and 30 hitouts to ton up regularly in DT. no bonus for how effective he is in DT :)

sandi never kicked too many goals but he was great at taking intercept marks off the opposition kickouts and long kicks down the line which boosted his scoring.

cox kicked goals and just got plenty of the ball.

i don't think a relatively un-athletic tap ruckman like sandi will ever score so well again in DT with the way they have changed the game a good ruckman will have to have a midfielders tank, speed and ability to win the ball and tackle to do any good.

Might look to get him in the rucks now I think.

Go with a Cox & Nic Nat duo.  8)

Also it's not accurate! Close yes, but not right for me! Swan should be far higher scoring, Dusty also. SC is either Bias, rigged or

Still a floored system


Your spelling is the only thing that's FLAWED... Floored is what my Dream Team was after Birchall's late withdrawal.
Ha well, did not know that was a word but .......

I cheered Andrew for his "flawless" literacy prowess, and clever use of both words...

I cheered you too tbag - just for being tbag ;)

just depends on your other lines, it does not matter if you have no rucks playing at all as long as you have the required number playing in total in your team.

I was probably one of the few who wasn't planning on starting with him. :P


its me lads

Thinking of bringing him in this week up forward. Trade out Mayes and J.Lonergan, sub Dwyer into mid and get Staker and Nic Nat. That means holding Leuy for now, and reassessing next week.
