Will he play more forward with JUH out?

Xerri, Darcy
Cameron (Flex)

They’ve known about JUH issues for a while and the chat is still Darcy to pick up more ruck time, especially in the forward and middle thirds of the ground.

Which makes...



This all the more interesting to me.
Not the numbers as such (think we all knew that, roughly), but as English spends more time floating around behind the ball does it make him an even better option?

Possessions/intercept marks and not HOTA are his strong suit after all.
I'm warming to him.

That floating behind the ball is what he’s been earmarked to do apparently.

Currently my flex, so this is very promising news

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Hodor going to Qatar, lock him in?

If we taxed out gas and oil like they do in Qatar, maybe we could have medical specialists that could treat our footy players here

Rucks are awesome this year. First time in a while there's not two really obvious choices and the most popular picks look are potential boom oe bust types.

It might be good for him long term, but I'd suggest if he's doing this trip now he's unlikely to play round one.

Xerri feels like an easy fade for me, facing English, Gawn, ROB, Grundy and Witts in the first 5 is probably the worst possible run you could get. And I think he's going to naturally regress a bit, averaging 7.5 tackles a game isn't sustainable and he won't be getting as many match ups against backup rucks as he did last year. I'm gonna try to pick him up cheaper after round 5

He averaged 114 in games against those ruckman last year

Post Bye Xerri averaged 130 against:

Flynn/DCam/Gawn/English/Moyle/Grundy/TDK/Blicavs/Nank/B.Williams/English/Meek

Looks to me like a good enough sample size for what he can do given you can only argue 3 of them are back ups and his lowest score in the period was 103 against DCam and 2nd lowest 109 vs TDK

If not Xerri who do you pick?

Flynn at R2 until time to upgrade? But is double Ruck upgrade to Xerri and Gawn feasible?

If ur doing double upgrade do you pick Flynn at R1?

Do we call this strategy “Flynn-sanity”?

At the moment i have Marshall and English with Flynn in the flex. Happy to take on Xerri and TDK owners with more proven picks with massive upside

2 141s against English skews that a lot. No doubt he could put up a massive score on english and be averaging 115 again from those first 5 but i’m happy to bet against it. He averaged 101 against the other 4. And i think you’re underestimating the tackle numbers. 8 per game is massive and has only really been done by defensive mids. If that drops by 2 we’re looking at a loss of 8 points per game
