Trade ROK and play Grundy ?

Yeah thats is it. Sandi was looking good kicked first goal I was cheering. Lucky I had the week off. I should just stick with Minson and ROK but tempted to chase another Mid. No doubt if i do that ROK will go big. Went huge against Hawthorn last year but at the moment that means nothing haha

Sorry to confuse u mate :) I just thought this thread would benefit from a different point of view. Also I'm guessing like me you brought Sandi in for the Melbourne/GWS combo....... :-X
This should be a warning for those that think Minson will defiantly get a ton against Melb..... I wish someone had of reminded me the only decent players Melbourne have are ruckman!
Minson SHOULD get near the ton, but I wouldn't base my plans on it :)

Well, the fact that one of those ruckman, Spencer, flew with the flight of the ball into a marking contest coming the other way and managed to concuss Sandilands was the main reason he couldn't ton up. Whether or not that means he's decent...

~~I was actually surprised it didn't receive a mention in the mrp report...not sure if spencer's eyes were on the ball or not, but it was definitely a reckless move.~~ (Edit: Watching the footage again, spencer was looking at the ball, but still made high and front on contact, should have at least been a free kick to sandi and hence you were robbed of 1 extra pont :P)

And is Minson the best ruck other than Cox ?

Ha ha, if I was a Melbourne fan I would have loved that! Good call, and I would pick Mison based on his consistency. I'm still backing in Grundy at this stage for the reasons I have mentioned. If I make it to the big dance I will look at my rucks, it's not like Sandi will lose me any more cash :)

Sorry to disagree with everyone but that's just my opinion ;)

No need to apologise for a well thought out opinion mate. The more thoughts that are given the better, not always one right answer. Good onya all to often people are jumped on for giving an apposing thought , that aint right in a forum. ;)

I think I've decided to trade out Sandilands. Purely on the thought that I have Murphy on the pine and he has a average of 123 against bombers in his last 5. Terrible form but that's a huge record.

ROK has only cracked the ton 1/11 times against Geelong. Murphy seems like a better option

Go with your gut feeling man :)
Essendon look shot so that's a nice record going into this week. We should have gone safe 2 weeks ago and picked Minson but showere happens. Thought I was being a real smart ass at the time too :)
