Position 2024 Fantasy Rucks

[Phar Ace]

Round 0 sees the clash of "MATES"...... well former team mates at least GRUNDY vs GAWN. The massive plan of tag teaming Grundy with Gawn was a much heralded fail.

From a Fantasy perspective, we don't care how much Collingwood was paying of Grundy's salary, or even if any of that goes to Sydney now. We just want a durable ruck who can give a viable alternative to English or Marshall at a fraction of the cost. We are bargain hunting here! So we look first at last season:



Then Grundy's output the season before (2022):


And for good measure, the season before that (2021):


It's not a particularly deep dive. Impacts the big Cox and Darcy Cameron

for your Fantasy side, what do you need to see from him in the Mates Showdown in Sydney between Grundy and Gawn on Thursday March 7th?

 

[danster168]

He was AA ruckman twice for the Magpies Not any small grounds there.

that was a long time ago now.

 

[pupstar]

that was a long time ago now.

So what you are saying is he used to have the ability to find space on bigger grounds is it.

I'm saying he isn't a very good player. he was horrible when playing for Melbourne last season. Even when Gawn was out.

 

[idontknows]

danster168 you also said Sicily would play the same role as last year and people had "rocks in their head" for not picking him...

yeah I got him wrong. but I think Sam Mitchell will free him up round 2 onwards.

 

[Mezzoculo]

Something to consider for fellow Grundy owners, given how poorly he handled the double teaming from Cox and Cameron last week....

Yikes - don't like that!

 

[JADED]

Some ominous early findings.
West Coast rucks vs.

Rd 1 Soldo 98 (Soldo Rd 2 v Richmond 59)
Rd 2 Briggs 111 (Briggs Rd 0 65 & Rd 1 46)

Considerable score differential.

Rd 3 - English (at Marvel) 150+???

English did just play against Moyle and only got 112 (granted it was at Mars). Definitely a chance, but I'm not sure if it is a certainty. Could just put up another 110 score.

The law of diminishing returns suggests English may wind up somewhere in the middle

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Will Verrall looking good so far today for the Casey Demons vs Footscray

Finnbar Maley likely to replace CCJ ....and Toby Conway a big chance for Monday

I'd love to know what Maley's fantasy and SC score would have been in the VFL on the weekend.

He took about 8 monster contested marks. Kicks it like Levi Casboult though, he's going to be a bit of a cult figure at AFL level.

Highlights of his game here:




Goad is going to be an absolutely ridiculous fantasy player in a couple of years. He moves like Luke Jackson but is the size of Max Gawn.

A few years off physically though.

In Fantasy, Marshall was the more consistent 100+ in 2023 .....I like the SAINT's fixture

But really, it's a flip o the coin

Think I will run with English for now but look to making a change from Gawn/English after the byes as Marshall practically plays all of his games under the roof from that point onwards.
