Going with one of these boys as R2 but unsure which one. Hickey having the ruck to himself is appealing but McIntosh can score well when going as previously done. BUT Mcintosh is so injury prone it is deterring me and his higher price tag. Thoughts ?

I'd take the risk with Hickey, unless you have  a R3 that can fill in regularly as Hmac will be rested throughout the season even if he does remain injury free he will cause you headaches.

Hickey looks aggressive, in the mumford way, which is great for a ruckman because they are around the ball so much they can rack up tackles. Looks like he will start as solo ruck so the points should follow

Cheers mate, confirms my thoughts. Was leaning towards hickey, i guess in Fantasy i can assess after this week but with RDT i will be going with Hickey with the hope he is constantly playing

it's worth noting that that article was published BEFORE Vardy got injured

ive got hickey. vsing melbourne with the ruck to himself with stanley pinch hitting, 70 absolute minimum. should atleast get 80. in my opinion he will get close to 40 hits outs alone

This.

HMac is a proven scorer too. I would pick him over Hickey tbh

How long is Longer expected to be out for.

with Geelong's NAB team it didn't look like McIntosh was the number 1 ruck. Even though Hickey isn't a safe pick but until McIntosh has proven I think save the money and get Hickey

If McIntosh plays I would prob go for him.  ? Against him tho after long layoff. 
I think HMac scoring potential is better than Hickeys, but i also think Hickeys JS is better.
6 of 1, half dozen of the other in my eyes!

Dean Cox last 5 against Western Bulldogs hasnt gone under 100

Last 5 average v WB = 120

just something to consider

Hickey will out score Hmac this week IMO
Hickey 85 Will be near the pill all day racking up HO and T
HMac 60-70 Will be rested and pampered all game dont expect anything good

We should make a thread with everyones calls and claims and see who is the best DT Nostradamus!

haha but then it would be flooded with so many predictions that ud eventually get one right


I personally think if u get 80 from either of hickey of mcintosh you have been very lucky

Big Daws replaces Horlin-Smith in the starting side for Geelong - moving HMAc to interchange (and Blics as sub)

BAIL BAIL BAIL!!!
