Sandi at R2 or R3?

Curious about your thoughts on this one.

I am getting very worried about Sandi, I can see him getting a red vest quite a lot leaving him stranded on 60 or 70 or so. In saying that I still think he should make decent cash so I think he deserves a place in my team, just maybe not R2.

The options I have are downgrade Daisy to O'Rourke and move Tyson onto the field and O'Rourke to the bench. I can then upgrade my R4 to Dawson Simpson who sounds fit and should also make decent cash. This moves Sandi to R3.

In short, Daisy+Naismith(R4) vs O'Rourke + D. Simpson.

Cheers

If Freo play 2 rucks, then he'll only score that much anyway
but I am considering him as R3, it just looks a little better

who's your R3 in option 1?

BGK

He's way to expensive for R3. IMO he's on your field or not in your team.

Money

60-70 will do mate, everyone will have him at R2 so it's not like you're the only one that will cop it bad and will make you cash even with those scores, having him at R3 is THE biggest waste of valuable $$$

Spinking

Big waste of cash to have him at R3. I'm considering R2 also and am not particularly concerned about him getting the sub. If he is in form he will be a top 5 ruck at a great price. Suppose NAB will reveal all.

Is it really a 'big waste' of cash having him as R3? A lot of people would have Longer as R3 and Sandi is only what 50k more then Longer? Provided R4 is basement price I don't think it is a major waste of cash having him R3.

It won't be a waste of cash if one of your rucks gets injured. I think it's worthwhile in real dream team but with AFL Fantasy's ridiculous amount of trades you can just trade if a ruck gets injured. It's one of the strategic shortcomings of having 44 trades. It takes out the need for interesting tactics like sandi at R3.

If you can have him at r3 without weakening your team do it for sure,
I don't think it's a waste of cash having him on the pine, there's always the risk of the vest especially in the first few rounds I'd have thought.

Usually I start with two premo rucks and two cheapies. For roughly the same amount of cash, this year I can start with three No 1 ruckmen - a premo, Sandi and HMac - plus a rookie. Considering the lack of JS in most basement price rucks, this seems a safe move.

Toga

Same dilemma for me atm but I think it's either gonna be he sits at R2 or he doesn't make my team at all. Still can't decide :-X

Sitting at R3 currently, but if he starts smashing it then I trade my starting ruck and play him instead.

Don't trust his toe..... :P

LOL Windy! I've heard from sources over in the west he's finally got over it and doing fine. However I wouldn't run out and place a bet on it  :P

powersuperkents

Have him in R3 myself, wouldn't personally trust him on the field.

If his named his a lock for R2. With possibly longer R3. Id think he will get lots of game time with the mcevoy (madness by the saints) moved on.
