The official "X v Y" thread

[Baker_for_PM]

JWS v Houlihan v Gilbert ~$300k

Dempsey v Raines v Bartram ~$280k

Geary v Petterd ~ $230k

Gilbert will have a big year and the other two after coming back from injury will make you some money

Jack Grimes as last back thoughts?

 

[Feerits Elf]

I'd be a bit wary of JWS until I see him turn out for the Roos this week.

Not sold on Grimes - better options? Steve Hill?

Here's one for ya (after Trengrove got put on the LTI):

Leuenberger as third ruck and Ben Reid as seventh forward; or
Some other cheap arse ruck rookie who won't get a game and Skippy as seventh forward?

play jwhite+currie on your bench

200k as a emergency is not a luxury u can have.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Already got Currie, don't want both Currie and White.

I just hate the thought of parking 80 or 90 grand on a bench spot for a bloke who will only play five games max, averaging 20

****ing rucks

 

[Kerrby04]

^ rucks are rucks

having currie and white will assure u a replacement if ur starting rucks are injured/susp,

while hoping they play majority of the year for some loose change.


FWIW i rekn berger can only ave 45, so not much of a cash cow.

 

[nicolbolas]

Choosing between, grimes and collier, same value!

Who likely to get more game time, points when playing

Cheers

But at least one you would think will be playing. So if one of your starting ruckmen is out for a week, you have a replacement. I have Cox/Kruezer/White/Currie.

Nathan Foley or Travis Johnstone???

same rucks as me!

I'd def go with Foley!

Hodge and Bartel ... or ... S. Fisher and Ablett?

 

[Ex President]

Apologies if this has been done already, but who would you choose out of Riewoldt and Pavlich?

Pavlich.

Bock V Lockyer V Adcock?

Also, Malceski V Raines + 75k?

Very tough call.

But I reckon S Fisher and Ablett.... But if you can spare another 10k go Goddard and Ablett!!!

 

[cocka2]

Pavlich.

Bock V Lockyer V Adcock?

Bock and Malceski... but its a tough call. With cousins, foley, deledio... Raines might struggle to get a lot of the ball.. Malceski is a ball magnet off half back. Hopefully he stays fit. I have Malceski

 

[cocka2]

Richardson and Houlihan
or
Pendlebury and Skipworth??

 

[Judd_Magic]

Richardson and Houlihan
or
Pendlebury and Skipworth??

Option 2 but I would grab Houla hoops too, he's in for a big year IMO!

 

[Margim]

Bartell + Boomer/Pavlich
or
Gablett + Didak

 

[jimmy5]

Bartell + Boomer/Pavlich
or
Gablett + Didak

Option 1

mines, Gilbee & Raines v Bock & Myers

 

[Kerrby04]

Option 1

mines, Gilbee & Raines v Bock & Myers

Raines proved TW hes capable in def last night.

Hopefully hell play all year (or atleast the first half)

 

[marshie_blues]

ablett and kerr vs bartel and corey/cooney or any other around that price

 

[Clunk]

ablett and kerr vs bartel and corey/cooney or any other around that price

Bartel and Cross

 

[adam1302]

van berlo or Griffen

 

[peter griffen]

Agree. Best thing about Raines NAB cup form is that if he isn't picked round 1 then he will never be picked by Wallace. Has done more than enough to cement a spot for a few weeks at least, otherwise it is pointless him being on the list

 

[Clunk]

van berlo or Griffen

Out of those 2 - NVB.

Why not split the difference in that $ range and go Rischitelli?

 

[Fitty]

Option 1: Judd, Kirk, Cross, and Cousins

or

Option 2: Scott Thompson, Cassisi, Pendles, and Joel Selwood

 

[Thabojan]

Option 1:
Ruck: Cox, White + 2 rookies
Fwds: Veszpremi (on field)
Cash: $151,600

Option 2:
Ruck: Cox, Ottens + 2 rookies
Fwds: rookie on field for $94,200 (which rookie??)
Cash: $75,200
