Position 2025 Rucks

[Cookiemon]

The spectre of Pittonet looms large in background, that much is certain.

TDK also has the worst bye and should be an upgrade target.

You’d have to be a fairly mediocre coach to consider TDK.

I’m starting him.

As a fellow mediocre coach I fully concur & will also be starting TDK

He also does amazing things…..to my system

I definitely remember that ad!



At least I think I remember it.

TDK + Darcy combo let's go boys.

Starting to warm to the idea of Darcy from Freo. Sounds likes he’s having an unreal preseason and with the flex / best 22 there’s probably never gonna be a better time to start him.

The thing that concerns me is he's only played 27 games in the past 2 seasons.....is that going to change this season....while he scores well, I don't think I could take the risk....but fortune favours the brave....good luck if you go with it.

Late change for me......TDK out and Jackson in...

No way would I start Jackson unless Darcy is injured

You will be able to get him cheaper later in the season when he drops a 50.

Rucks are hard this year ey? Last year Gawn/Grundy seemed very obvious with Xerri as a great less common option.

Any love for Briggs at $520k or so? Solo ruck, still a young man. I don't love the idea of paying up for Gawn/Xerri.

l dont want to have both Xerri and TDK together for the round 12 bye with Maley as my emegency (due to money left) also out .

l think Darcy will end up injured again early on and Jackson will take over the ruck roll...TDK seems to be picked by a lot on here so l thought of someone else.. l can only afford players lower than Jacksons price anyway..

Meek >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Briggs

Worth the extra $40k imo


26 years old, first season full-time ruck and really impressed, built like a brick shithouse, he will improve, his fitness will improve, the midfield at his feet will improve.

Xerri R1

English vs Meek R2 is the only decision to make


Round 0 is a problem, but byes are best 18 scores, so I don't think it really matters. In 2024 everybody overcomplicated things trading out rd0 players, when they would have been better off holding (til the main byes, or long-term).
