2 years ago I would have picked Mummy, next year, hmmm, not sure. Simpson is handy and 33yo in 2019 Mumford retired for a reason.

Shane Mumford announces his retirement after 10 seasons with Geelong, Sydney and GWS.
"I think I've injured just about every part of my body throughout my career but the foot was the turning point," he said.
"I've had problems with my knees for many years and had the ankle reconstructed, now to injure the foot as well, I want to be able to run around with my kid in years to come.
"If I continued playing there was potential to do more damage and for me it's not worth the risk, I want to have a life after football as well.
"For me to play on and not be 100 per cent would be selfish, so I'd much rather finish up while I was still playing some good football."

Shane Mumford is seeking medical advice on his injured foot and degenerative knee before deciding whether to fulfil the final year of his contract at Greater Western Sydney.
"In his mind, he feels he can go again, the Giants seem to feel otherwise and they want to look after Shane as best they can. They feel he's been a great servant of the club for the period he's been there and feel like he has a lot to offer the Giants going forward outside of football," Mumford's manager, Anthony McConville said.
"It's looking at what those situations are and medical opinion speaks volumes as it always should. We're just waiting on that to come through."

I don’t mind this approach, can have a look at your R2 for four weeks and if it looks like they’re not cutting the mustard Mummy potentially gives you a bail out option.
Don’t think basing your starting structure around a 32 year old with denenerative knees/ankles who’s had a year out of footy and is suspended for the first 2 weeks due to a coke bender is a great strategy.

Seems like the idea that Westhoff's scoring this year was primarily from extra ruck time is a bit of a myth.
Round 5: 26 hitouts, 106 supercoach score
R3: 15 hitouts 82 supercoach score
R18: 12 hitouts 82 supercoach score
R2: 11 hitouts, 111 supercoach score
R13: 11 hitouts 114 supercoach score
R19: 11 hitouts. 85 supercoach score
R12: 10 hitouts, 92 supercoach score
R14: 9 hitouts, 106 supercoach score
R22: 9 hitouts, 126 supercoach score
R7: 7 hitouts, 85 supercoach score
R9: 7 hitouts , 89 supercoach score
R15: 7 hitouts, 120 supercoach score
R16: 7 hitouts, 96 supercoach score
R20: 6 hitouts, 73 supercoach score
R21: 6 hitouts, 86 supercoach score
R1: 5 hitouts, 140 supercoach score
R4: 5 hitouts, 88 supercoach score
R17: 5 hitouts, 88 supercoach score
R23: 5 hitouts, 120 supercoach score
R6: 4 hitouts, 147 supercoach score
R11: 3 hitouts, 75 supercoach score
R8: 2 hitouts, 116 supercoach score
Ruck time may have helped him get a couple of points here or there and given him an extra avenue to scoring but it doesn't seem to explain most of his scores. In a lot of them you'd imaging he'd only have 0-3 hitouts to advantage.
I won't be picking him due to his scoring history, not because of the lack of ruck time.

Grundy definitely overpriced, but the alternatives just don't seem appealing at the moment. I think the best value combo is clearly Goldy and Kruezer but surely you'll need to trade one or both to Grundy and Gawn eventually if they both end up scoring about 10-20ppg more than those two?
If Longer looks reliable, he's still my preferred option as an R2 cash cow. Mummy in R5 offers a bail out if needed. . Otherwise, I'm thinking Grundy and Kreuzer at this stage with the aim to trade Krezuer to Gawn if needed down the track.
Gawn is unlikely for me unless Preuss gets injured or there's a strong indication that Preuss plays VFL (which I don't see as a likely scenario seeing as he would've gone over for more senior football opportunities).
