Position Rucks Discussion
- Thread starter IDIG
- Start date
I agree. Toughest position for mine and generally sets the tone for the whole SC year if you can nail your starting picks or alternatively, use half a dozen trades trying to get them right.
What's the deal with the dogs now? Is English the number 1 ruck with Toyd giving him a chop out? Or is Toyd just going to play ruck?

These were the rule changes for those that missed it. Not sure who benefits most. Grundy and maybe Nank?
9. Ruck contests: prior opportunity
• A ruckman who takes direct possession of the ball from a bounce, throw-up or boundary throw-in will no longer be regarded as having had prior opportunity.
• Where there is uncertainty over who is the designated ruckman, the ruckman for each team will still be required to nominate to the field umpire.

What are your thoughts on Westhoff's role/likely scoring BigRuss?
He managed his best SC season with personal highs for hitouts but also disposals. Averaged similarly with or without Ryder though, from what I could see.
Does Lycett/a fitter Ryder have an impact?
Wondering whether Westhoff's DPP makes sense standalone, and/or in conjunction with Mummy at R2 from round three onwards.

Think you can pretty much cut out his midfield minutes other than stints on the wing. To be honest, I’ve no idea how Port will structure up this season, if I were picking the team Watts would be playing in the magoos and I’d have Westhoff playing his role but it’s realy just an uneducated guess.
I think unless either Paddy or Lycett get injured, which history says will probably happen to both of them throughout the year, Ho*** average will dip back to what it has been historically, unless those injuries are significant.
