Position Rucks Discussion

Nope, ZClarke as R2. I'm not that interested in Mummy as a starter tbh.

wow

interesting , you must be extremely confident he will string enough games together to make it worthwhile and also score enough points each week.

If he plays R1, it would mean he's done enough in JLT to go ahead of McKernan, so I think he'll get a fair crack to prove himself - doubt Woosha would abandon that 2 ruck strategy straight away if he starts off with it. He'd be better than any of the fwd rookie options, a 60-65 would be good enough from him.

I think people are considering Mummy to avoid starting Grunday and Gawn or both but in isolation he is a poor pick. Won't be a keeper, has already had a setback in his preseason and isn't cheap enough to make quick cash.

Certainly does open up a lot more possibilities that is for sure , I think I would trust Clarke stringing more games together Fort.

I need to find just one $ 300 - $ 350k player to get my preferred structure.

Are you looking at Mummy as R2 if Clarke (or Fort) are named Rd1?

Mummy will have to be R3 for the first couple of rounds whilst he serves his suspension. Not ideal being 2 weeks behind in any cash generation let alone being confident that Fort and Clarke start round 1 let alone not be dropped for round 2

Really ?

Maybe he is C so still R2.

At this stage I have no idea about Clarke or Fort being named , but have stated previously have little trust in Geelong and their ruck setup.

Think Mummy will make plenty of $$$ if he goes 95+

I don’t understand the love for Mummy? Don’t get me wrong - I can see the value IF all goes well, but I just feel he will get an untimely injury and owners will feel hard done by.

Depending on what we see in the preseason, I’d be more inclined to punt on Longer or Naismith at R2 with a bit of cash ITB, to go to mummy if required. It’s not an optimal set up but gives a bit of flexibility to see what’s up with Gawn or whichever other likely R2 we have.

 

[Hot Shame]

One of the other forums have a league that does this, everyone must start with the same team that is picked by the admins and it is then up to you. Good fun.

Keen.

but everyone loves Mummy ?

price is amazing , 12 months off , injury already , missing the first 2 games ......struggling to find the downside , what could possibly go wrong ?

Do the Swans play Naismith over Sinclair though ? not sure how Reid is tracking this pre-season.

Rucks sound very confusing and complicated this season.

I've removed Naismith as an option even he gets picked rnd 1 because I cant' see anything in his history to suggest he wil get past the $300k mark. Longer is still a "possible" for me. Although not ideal he has shown that he can post some 100's and make some money.

In his last AFL year he ave 52 but prior to that the last time he ave under 65 was back in 2010. While not going silly I think he could ave a lot more than 65. I would like to think 75 ish or upwards.

70-75 would be handy but I wouldn't be too disappointed with 60-65.

He averaged 127 in the WAFL last year. 137 in the last 11. He was always carrying an injury at Freo but somehow Scabiaco made him better!





I'm so disappointed with my club right now.
Does anyone want to lend me their club for a few years.

Gee those look like promising stats - hoping he has a good JLT

I know the WAFL is a class below but it makes you wonder if all these AFL fitness gurus are just destroying some of these players. Maybe Freo use jiggers!

Come to the Kangas; roowho has a nice ring to it.

You are welcome to come and support the Dees for a while. We still remember what it is like to be hopeless so I’m sure the other supporters will make you feel welcome

Well hopefully Ross Lying will be gone soon Freo. I think however it has happened there seems to be a lot of division down there and a clean start is required. Maybe Suma will get his chance to coach a WA based AFL side. If they move Lying on and he doesn't get the gig he will never coach AFL. Until second half of 2017 and last year when Lying was just forced to play the youngsters I think the recruiting and playing (or non playing) of young players was a real problem. Lloyd moving on was no great loss. But right coach and a bit of positive momentum under Bell and could turn things around quite quickly. Just my 2c worth.
