I don't believe that he's an automatic selection even fully fit. Sinclair was very good last year and is the sort of mobile ruck teams prefer these days Naismith always looked kind of lumbering type to me. Like a poor man's Sauce Jacobs.

I've narrowed mine down to:
Gawn - Not a massive fan of paying that much for him or Grundy (looking like an upgrade target at the moment, historically the top 2-5 players in most positions drop to an affordable price fairely quickly). Also cautious of the Preuss-effect.
Goldstein - No Preuss makes him a much more interesting prospect. Proven performer and NM have added to their midfield, so looms as a likely starter in my team.
Nankervis - Has been extremely serviceable in my teams over the last few years. Could turn him into a Gawn/Grundy fairly quickly.
Mumford - I do understand he has a ban for the first couple games IIRC. Other than that, another proven performer that should return to his best. Watchlist for JLT.
Z. Clarke - Effectively becomes Essendon's 2nd choice ruck and at $142,600 for a player who has been extremely serviceable in the past, he's hard to ignore for that R3 spot. If only he had DPP, I'd easily have him somewhere between F5 and F8.
Sweet - Pretty much my locked at R3 for me. You always need that captain loophole, WB have the equal most Sunday games. Unless there's like no decent rookies somewhere else on the ground where I can do the loophole elsewhere, then he'll likely be in my starting team.
All other players are rather awkwardly priced for my liking, someone like a Stef Martin will drop in price fairly quickly. Some players are out of the question due to various teams utilising dual ruck formations, or teams with dud midfields, etc.

Currently have Grundy, Westhoff and Clarke. Hoping Clarke gets some games and can eventually turn him and another rookie into Gawn and move the Hoff forward.

Grundy licked for me, plays like a midfielder and scores so well also a good vc option as well. Either Stefan Martin or goldy as r2.

I was more concerned about the whopping 1.4 Million they will cost you start both!
But that Bye rd is also damming. Only strategy to take would be to start/have other Premos with the same Bye round and just have a full on tank round while dominating the other 2 Bye weeks.
That is IF you are going to start both.

I know everyone said at the end of the season they would be taking both .....but you simply can't afford to, IMO
Any word on how Kruezer is travelling ?

Excellent by all reports and the elevated heart issue is all sorted/diagnosed going by the club.
Surely there cannot be a more unlucky bloke regarding his body and in 2017 when he played a full season before last season he was a Top 3 scoring ruck with a 109.8 average.
If he is fit there is no question about his ability to score well.

He's in my side ....apart from the heart issue, I'm hoping Andrew Russell can keep him in tip top condition, as per his rep

They also had the same bye round this past season. I had them both, yet it was my highest scoring bye round. Go figure.
