GC signed Corbett and Burgess (two of those mature age pick ups they had) to four year contracts last month- before they've even played an AFL game. Shows how much they rate them. Corbett is forward only, Burgess forward/defence, both 170k. I know very little about either but you don't sign key position 22 year olds to four year contracts if you aren't going to play them. Super obvious bench pick ups.

Agree on Longer - maybe draft relevant more than anything else.
Otherwise good responses. Important to see him GWS and Port shape up in the pre-season.

R2 is just such a hard one. Gone cold on Kreuzer, his body/health just too much of a risk, priced at 80 so not exactly super cheap and I don’t see him replicating that 105 year
Currently running with Goldy. Has shes 4-5kg and said to be inripping Knick. With Preuss gone, and Daw our, Goldy will carry the load solo and hopefully get back to 100+

I didnt go set and forget rucks last year and it cost me 20 points a round. I wont be making that mistake again.

Grundy & Gawn are the clear top 2 rucks for 2019. The only other competitors for top 2 rucks are Martin and Goldstein who both havent gone big since 2015 and are over 30 years old.
Having the 2 best rucks from the start of the year is a huge advantage in all your head to head matches. Its not worth gimping yourself through the year until you correct your rucks.

Who did you start with last year?
If you started with say Gawn (Who was an absolute lock last year) and Sinclair (Midpricer) both were at midprice you wouldve been very happy edit or either one with Nic Nat aswell

Given that we say the same thing every year, that it won't be the same top 2 from year to year, why pay eye-popping prices for Gawn and Grundy when you have plenty of trades and plenty of lower priced options that allow you to assess the picture over the first 6 weeks.
Whether it be through form or injury, one of Gawn and Grundy will most likely not be top 2 by season's end. So why spend so much up front?

I started last year with Gawn and Martin. It wasnt a bad choice but was 20 points per round off the best choice. An extra 460 points added onto my total score would have helped me a lot.
Last year I used the logic that by cheaping out on rucks I could spend more elsewhere but after round 1 I realised that it didnt matter because I had to fix a bunch of my picks that I used the extra money on.
Grundy has been top 2 for the last 3 years and Gawn has been top 2 for 2 out of the last 3 years. Getting the top 2 correct gives you a huge advantage and the only way Gawn and Grundy wont be top 2 if is they get injured.

We dont know the impact if any yet. Will need to see how it plays out in pre season.
Defenders: Laird, Witherden, Newman, Williams, Collins, Wigg, Goddard, Answerth
Midfielders: Macrae, Coniglio, Cripps, Merrett, B Crouch, Walsh, Hately, Valente, Hind, Bewely
Rucks: Grundy, Kruezer, Sweet, Cameron
Forwards: Dangerfield, T Kelly, Wingard, Rankine, Setterfield, Navarra, McAdam, Corbett
$19'000 left.
The one I'm concerned with is Kruezer and his heart issues and whether he will be back fit again. But I guess we are all mostly waiting on whether teams are playing two rucks this year and if so we could downgrade to a cheaper ruck for R2 and then upgrade at another position.
Definitely wanting input on players and thoughts on R2 and others.

I agree that if you can get the top 2 you should, but I'm saying it's harder than you say. Injuries, change of role, new personnel, change of team quality (eg. Jacobs when Adelaide made GF in 2017, versus missing finals in 2018) all play a role.
You didn't have to be 20 points off for the entire 23 rounds, but you did by starting with another premium, similar to me starting with Jacobs.
If you started with Gawn + Nic Nat or Sinclair last year then saw Grundy being the clear number 1, you could have saved money and maximised points.

A bit off-topic but still relative in terms of scoring. I'm in an Ultimate Footy Keepers league using the same scoring as AF. We have 14 keepers per list, but I'm down to my last spots at 13th and 14th so I can only hold on to two of these three:
Given they're all midfielders only in 2019, who do I hold onto?
Touk Miller GC - Ave 87.4 from 22 games. 22 years old.
Tom Cutler BL - Ave 86.9 from 18 games. 23 years old.
David Swallow GC - Ave 85.3 from 20 games. 26 years old.
Miller is probably the most likely from them, but I'm torn between Cutler and Swallow. Cutler had B/C in 2018, but loses it this year.

A poster on the carlton board who knows him has commented that the surgery kreuzer had to fix the heart issue has rectified the issue completely.
I wouldn't pick him regardless... he finds new ways to get injured every year
