Position 2024 Rucks

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Conway will get games because stanley and blicavs are 33 and we have no other listed rucks plus they rate him. That said hes missed so much footy that his endurance needs a lot of work so i cant see him playing say 10 games in a row. So for me hes not sc relevant but others will disagree

Interesting. I think if he's named round 1 I'll take the punt and hope he lasts until round 6. Geelong have a reasonable draw to start so hopefully he's made some money by then and can be traded if he gets dropped.

Its less about getting dropped (i could actually see him displacing stanley they rate him that much) and more that i dont think he has the tank (that round 24 game showed it) to play more than 3 or 4 games in a row as a lead ruck. Which means hes going to get rested a lot which i dont think works sc cash gen wise. But we will see.

Grundy only played 3 games last season solo ruck without Gawn Rounds 3,4&5.
He scored 143,144 & 128

English and Grundy

 

[Significant]

Just go Grundy and Gawn, and once Gawn inevitably goes down with old man injury, trade him to English and get Fullarton in (or start him!)

track watcher report from 18th Dec:

"Tim English continues to run solo laps, without partaking in the ball or drills with the main group. His torso is enormous now and resembles Mr Strong from the Mr. Men collection with perfectly square shoulders. He is moving well, really pushing himself and no obvious signs of carrying any sort of injury concern."

Gawn and Grundy are such good value this year, really hard to FADE them.

Would be ideal to have a playing R3 that can cover their byes though.

Same bye as Gawn, not ideal.

You reckon they are gonna play him in the side with Nank?
Dimma was big on 2 ruckmen, doubt Yze will be the same, especially as we actually have a F/R that can play a bit in Ryan.

Praying they don't go down the Balta F/R path again.

Conway the most likely IMO

You mean early downgrade netting $78K

You mean early downgrade netting $78K

I see Conway as a wise investment … in a season with so many byes …. and an increasing willingness to “manage” star players

 

[gutsroy]

This is where I am at. Save on ruck budget now for captain options in mid and def. Upgrade X at North’s R12 bye.

Yeah, honestly like it and Xerri can play.
Will only get awkward if he goes down injured, wouldn't be a simple fix

F off Bevo

Could just be Lobb trying to stay in the team. He's always been reluctant to ruck, but given he was a bit shit last year might have no choice now.

Rd 24 Lobb and English split CBA's 50/50 - only game all year that it happened. Lobb was close to BOG that game.
Lobb scored 116 and English 103

They beat an undermanned Geelong team by 4 goals. I’m hoping crazy Bevo doesn’t read too much into that.

You'd think Beveridge could make it less obvious, he wants to be sacked ......he's done a better job of tanking than MELB ever could

Yeh that is a worry for English, considering they lost to the Eagles the week before they were clearly wanting to try something which worked.

I also found it a bit weird that English came 7th in the dogs B+F. For whatever reason he may not be rated as highly internally as his SuperCoach scores suggest (and also the media)

One to avoid especially with his price

 

[A Bit Dusty]

So English could be Ruc/Fwd by Round 6
