Who knows. lol
Will see what happens with North final team and then also find out more info of Essendon coaching thoughts for Belly before I lock anything in.
Bellchambers is behind Leuey in the ruck pecking order IMO. Essendon play Freo (Sandilands) next week. I believe they are resting Leuey so he doesn't have to play off a short 5 day break this week and and then back that up by facing 211 over in Perth the week after. This way he gets a 12 day break, and given his injury history is probably a good idea. Plus if there is any week that one can rest their main ruck and play the number 2 ruck it's against a decimated Melbourne ruck line up.

I'll bet next week we will see Bellchambers out and Leuey back in.

Thanks mate for info.
Any chance Belly stays in team and plays ruck and forward with Berger man back or no chance?
If no looks like playing with just one ruck is a real scenario I might have to face.

Sounds like your'e stuck between an erupting volcano and a mother in law Oz, I'd choose the volcano at least it would be a quick death.


P.S. If you really want to avoid a donut, maybe Tom Boyd mightn't be the worse pick.

Js good and could pump out a ton and at least make some coin, or keep as cover.

It could happen but if it does, he wouldn't be scoring very well you'd think!

It's hard to say, almost have to try to read Woosha's mind. At the moment Hooker and Daniher are the two clear key tall forwards and they have ignored Steward playing as a third tall, instead the 3rd tallest has been Langford until he was swapped for Francis last week, and it looks like potentially neither this week. The three smalls of Fantasia, Tippa, Green plus Coyler further up the ground is working, so adding TBC up forward may make the team too top heavy.

Then again Woosha did often play 2 rucks and a tall forwardline in his Eagles years, although the Eagles rucks were streets better than the Bombers current ones. It may come down to how Bellchambers plays this week, if he is just average I think they will stick to just one of them, if he plays great then maybe he forces the coaches hand.

tl;dr: I don't know!

I'm not seeing tons for Boyd for a number of seasons so not really considering at all.

Plan C might have to be Turner plus Spencer traded for Fisher and that just allows me to afford Kruezer as 2nd ruck. All the rucks options are risks whatever way I look at it...lol

I quite like this option except if 420k odd is all you have for a second ruck I would go Sandi over Kreuzer personally

Ok, which joker voted 2 in the poll! What the.
That would be me, although now I look at my team, it's actually 3 - lol (Swallow, Cameron and Deluca)
It's very annoying because it makes it more difficult to decide who to trade out ;)

First world problems RB :p I have the difficult decision of who trade out as well but for the opposite reason, I have too many non players!

Have fixed the poll to show 3 instead of 2 as well.

I'm tossing up wether to do my following trade, or reverse it and double downgrade to get a nice stack of cash built up.

SPS - Balic
WHE - Stef Martin - through Nank into FWD line.

What do you guys think?

Cheers :)
