Position 2017 Rucks

[dlanod]

Im eager to see how much this no third man up rule increases scoring

I want to hear what Harry Lime has to say about it too.

 

[Metapod]

Everyone losing their minds over late outs - how often does this actually happen? I am only worried when he is rested for a week - which is much much more likely to happen I believe due to Freo leaving him home when they play interstate. When this happens, you know.

Realistically how often will he be a late out?

I would guess none. Doesn't happen that often.

I agree - just some food for thought!

I'm eager to see how much the third man up rule affects the economy.

 

[Wild Bill]

Rucks with high hit out numbers will benefit from no 3rd man up rule.

 

[Wheels On Meals]

Rucks with high hit out numbers will benefit from no 3rd man up rule.

Or negatively if the majority of their hitouts are sharked.

 

[dlanod]

Or negatively if the majority of their hitouts are sharked.

But how does the man up in third place affect sharking?

 

[Wild Bill]

Or negatively if the majority of their hitouts are sharked.

With no third man interfering HTA should increase. Not having to compete 2 on 1 will make it much easier.

Gawn + Sandi + Strandonutica + Ryder OR Nankervis is

*unless that spud Spencer is named for round 1, then I'll have to think about it

How will this third man up rule affect Billy Birmingham?

Just wanted to mention this in terms of Gawn for anyone not across price movements:
Rd 1 and 2 scores only impact the rolling average for 1/2 weeks respectively.
So if Spencer is named rd 1 but you think it is only a short term thing and don't expect his scoring to plummet in that time, you can always just stick with big Max and save the trade you'd need to bring him in.
If you reckon Spencer will hang around like a bad smell / that Gawn's average will really suffer, not starting him and seeing how it pans out is a reasonable option.

Added a new dynamic to the team imo. I expect him to get a chance to feature for a few games and if he performs as well and if he adds as much as he did n the JLT then Gawn probably can't go 120. Will still likely be the no.1 ruck at end of year but whether or not your cash can be spent better until you can upgrade another ruck to him is up for debate.

Gawnstein locked in.

Save those trades peepz

So long as you spend the saved money well in other areas you may not necessarily be saving trades, just moving where they're used.

All I see with the money is Marchbank/OMeara/Swallow etc

Not keepers.

Exactly, with the money saved in rucks you can upgrade them to keepers.

Missed my point.

Meant 123k player to a OMeara/Marchbank is all I'm seeing

Ah gotcha.

Well in that case, if you can't spend the money well in other areas you may as well go all out in rucks.

You must have a crazy good GnR approach.

Tell me what you think?

If not enough 117-123k rookies are named, I will make changes

 

[markm106]

Forget it man, ur not getting Gawn as a pod.

Nah won't be a pod but his ownership will drop.

If all those rookies play it's perfect!

I've done my research on them

Not confident in: Miles/Parfitt/Hibberd/Vickers-Willis/Barrett/Atley/Otten

Rest of em should play

Your mids and Gawnstein make my scrotum all tingly.

Cheers. Means a lot from you.

To many rookies onfield? Or do the safe premo picks even things out?
