Position 2017 Rucks

[Dennis Trumpet]

Gawn out of my team for the first time this year.

Sandwitts is just too tasty.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Gawndilands for me currently. got Nank at F4 for cover (reluctantly)

might try and fit in Goldy possibly. a bit of playing around to be done

 

[Riviat]

Going with sandi as R2?

I've locked Gawnstein in.

Yup, Gawnilands is my current in-thing but R2 has changed more than a babies diaper. Has either been Grundy or Martin but Goldy's injuries and niggles have put me off big time. Got burnt by Sauce last year so have snubbed him this year.

Who knows what it will be come Thursday before the season starts proper.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Have Gawn + Sandi with Nank fwd atm.
If Spencer is named round 1 and Archie isn't I will strongly consider big Stef, plenty of value.

RELIEF was the main emotion Jarrod Witts displayed after completing his first full game in Gold Coast colours on Thursday night against the Western Bulldogs.
The 24-year-old's importance to Gold Coast's fortunes in 2017 should not be underestimated.
The renewed interest in him is underlined by the fact he has fulfilled more media commitments in the four months he has spent with the club than he did in five years at Collingwood.
At 209cm, with 40 games experience and the ban on third-man up he could stamp himself on the competition if he takes his chance to become the club's number one ruckman.

do we pick him at R2 as a rookie? gives us the cash elsewhere to spend on one or two more premos

bigger question, do i go against my vow never to pick Witts?

Bigger question..

What is better cover and balance for a team with Sandilands playing...

JWitts @ R3?

or

Nank @ F3-5?

Looking at it, I am actually being persuaded by Witts.

Not as much "risk" given rookie price, being chosen as a money maker, but as a money maker, do you trade him out and wreck your cover for Sandi for the second half of the year? Bigger JS risk as well with Nicholls and Currie always waiting in the wings, while it appears Nank doesnt have a hell of a lot of opposition...

If you break down all of the ~$200k "rookie" players, which one has the highest scoring potential? It is clearly Witts. Do you sacrifice a ruck premo or even a Sandi to get him in though? Is he worth the coin to just sit on the bench when a. he will be scoring more than your other starting rookies and b. $200k+ on the bench is awfully profligate? If you take him you must start him, otherwise you're wasting both points and cash on the bench.

I can't make Gawn and Witts into a cool and edgy name.....

What was Ryders SC score peeps?

Thankyou for that. Did you see him play? If so howd he look AT?

RUDDY AWESOME!!!

Does anyone have ryders HTA?

10 HTA

 

[Longbombswans]

After multiple ruck changes have come full circle back to Gawnilands with Ryder at F4

 

[Significant]

May go with the big 4 now... Sandi, Ryder, Nank and Witts with big Preussy on the bench! :O

 

[croweyrocks]

Ryder at lone ruck was always going to score well. First match with Lobbe in the sanfl and he tons up is no surprise.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Doing my head in. Thinking of going Ryder - Sandi - Vardy due to Witts bye.

 

[Double the Fist]

ATM I have
With Nank as fwd
Really wanting to go back to Ryder.

Do not go Vardy. Drafted at the same time as Daniel Menzel. has played half as many games. because he is more injury prone. you have been warned.

 

[scaryness]

Day 1 = Grundy and Sandilands. Ryder up forward.
v2 = Goldstein and Sandilands. Ryder up forward.
v3 = Gawn and Sandilands. Ryder up forward.
v4 = Goldstein and Sandilands. Ryder up forward.
v5 = Goldstein and Sandilands.
v6 = Martin and Sandilands.
v7 = Goldstein and Sandilands.

I have gone Nankervis to Ryder. Not happy about the round 9 bye though

 

[RavensFever]

v3 = Gawn and Sandilands. Ryder up forward.
v4 = Goldstein and Sandilands. Ryder up forward.
v5 = Goldstein and Sandilands.
v6 = Martin and Sandilands.
v7 = Goldstein and Sandilands.

exactly like my thoughts but now back to gawndilands with nank up forward for now

 

[scaryness]

Goldstein might be worth a selection for the R1 captaincy alone?

Rucking vs Petrie and Vardy.

 

[SugarRayRichard]

In my time playing this game - rucks has never before been this up in the air.

The sooner those campaigners give us 2 ruck emerg spots back, the better....
