Nic Nat to Mumford - premature?

To those doubting him being able to keep it up - he's done it in the past, had a great average one year, pulled out monster scores in other seasons as well, its just that his body has let him down a bit and no doubt held him back. Definitely a top 5 ruckman at bare minimum come seasons end barring injury.

Mummy looks like a different player at GWS, forget the big scores etc. but his fitness levels, his physique, man the bloke is in ripping form physically, he has to have a bit of luck on the injury front, if he plays out the season he will be one of the highest averaging ruckman.
Like I stated above, in this sort of nick he will dominate 95% of the ruckman in the comp. Guy is a beast.

He's always had the potential to be a top ruckman, has always dominated other ruckman in many games he's played.

I just cannot be convinced until he pulls out consistent 100-120 scores against Minson/Goldy/Nic Nat/Cox/Leuey etc

I know I won't have time to see that and I've already told myself I've missed the boat but to those considering now is the week.. He won't come down in price for awhile. He's already $565k and will go up further next week.

Just be cautious if you're side trading from Nic Nat - I wouldn't but it's totally upto you.

It's basically now or never if you want to make the trade, Mummy's headed north & Nic nat is headed south. The two key things to weigh up here is whether or not you believe Mumford has returned to his 2012 form, in which case he's a keeper, and whether you believe Nic Nat can overcome a lack of preseason and having to contend with 2 other rucks in the side. Personally I think Nic Nat will come good eventually, it's just how long it takes him and whether or not you can continue to suffer big losses in your ruck division. But like I said, you have to move this week or it will require big funds to bring Mummie in. He will probably hit 600k next week and has the potential to go higher. I certainly don't subscribe to the theory that he will struggle against the big names, sure it won't be 160's, but he should ton up more often than not. He's done it in finals and he's scored big.

Perhaps the biggest worry is injury, I'm almost expecting a few outs at some stage so getting some decent back-up will need to be a priority, ironically it could even be Nic Nat if his price continues to drop.
