Looking at Mummy/Lobbe or Mummy/Longer, maybe Mummy/Sandi... but I'd say it's unlikely.

mezzoculo

Minson / Sandi starting for me, with two cheapies on the bench (Ben Brown and Nankervis ATM, but will change before R1).

On NicNat, the club has said that he will be right to play R1, so he is def an option to replace Big Wil.

Master Q

Sandi seems to be very popular but not sure if I'll start with him.

Think my last team had Mummy/Big Boy but can't remember.

elephants

Surprised how popular Lobbe is!

I am surprised at the lack of any vote for Maric.... :-\

He'll ruck well and have a much better year than he did in 2013, but he's somewhat down the pecking order for fantasy rucks unless you're looking at somebody different.

Shaun Hampson at the Tiges might also affect him slightly.

EMERGING Fremantle ruckman Zac Clarke is ahead of recovery schedule and is set to be available for a season opening blockbuster with Collingwood in March.

Dockers coach Ross Lyon revealed in Perth this afternoon that his back-up ruck force to veteran giant Aaron Sandilands is expected to be fully recovered from a knee injury and in full training ahead of the new AFL premiership season.

Sandilands cos he's cheap - ill take the risk

McEvoy - normally averages 90, he only averaged 75 last year and with him going to Hawthorn i would expect him to go back to his 90 average and even more. Hawthorn must be wrapped now they have a decent number 1 ruck again.

Derickx and Currie

Longer at R3....is this a waste of cash?

He's more reasonable in Fantasy

Maybe ? It's hard to say i think he will make cash and be a good emergency for late outs and the bye rounds, but does it affect the structure/strength of your starting team having that cash on the bench ?

Structure is fine....just thinking of some safety at r3 but also dont want to waste the cash... :-\

Master Q

Currie could finally get a game this year, so he's a decent R3/4.

Could be a good idea ?   i like the back-up he provides for the bye rounds if you structure your rucks with a ruck from each bye.

GEELONGS big-man stocks are looking up with ruckman Dawson Simpson and Hamish McIntosh eyeing potential round one jumpers.

Cats midfielder Mitch Duncan said both were training well and his side could consider playing both if each was up and running throughout 2014.
