Rucks Discussion

[Impromptu]

SuperCoach 2014 Rucks will be interesting.

Assuming McIntosh will be discounted by 40% or more and priced say $300K like Leuenberger, I believe most people will probably have McIntosh locked.

Now the second Ruck will be interesting, do we go for Cox who every year we doubt and say too expensive or go the the dominant Rucks in 2013 with Minson and Goldstein.

Nic Nat is a risky prospect for those who have been burnt, ie me.

I think Nic Nat with a full pre-season will be good value, but otherwise too painful to watch.

McIntosh and ????????????????????????

The Collingwood kid, Grundy could be a viable choice depending in price and also what happens to Jolly.

 

[IDIG]

I think Berger still has improvement in him but Goldstein appears to be the best option out there, assuming North improve again.

NicNat unsure about tbh.

Currie just signed on until end of 2015 so must be given some assurances of game time next year. He will be a lock for either R3/4.
I will be staying clear of Goldstein and Minson because of the price they will be at, also with Currie (NM) and Campbell (Dogs) given more game time taking away hitouts.
Will Nic Nat get a discount? Havn't checked the amount of games he has played but will be at a very tempting price. Zac Smith will be tempting, but obviously wont now how well he, Dixon and Nicholls will work together.
If Sandilands goes through injury free over the preseason, will be very cheap!
Also McBean from Richmond has been kicking alot of golas in the VFL so maybe another decent R3/4 option.

The Kruz?

I am interested to see how Cox finishes the season, could his age affect his lock and loaded status?

 

[Nk29]

Big Dawson Simpson and 1 of Leuenberger (most likely) and Kreuzer. Assuming both Simpson and McIntosh are fully fit I expect Simpson to be our no 1 ruck.

Edit: Also NicNat locked into the forward line (assuming he keeps DPP; if not then he will replace Leuenberger/Kreuzer).

Seems to be on the decline and I doubt he will be fwd eligible next year so not too sure he will be the lock of previous years, though still a solid pick I'd imagine.

 

[Damoz]

HMac and Goldstein for me. Almost guaranteed lock.

May consider NicNat

 

[Prochard]

Nic Nat, grundy, currie locked for me. I'm a risk taker, so probably gonna go jacobs/maric/kreuzer as R2

 

[BC]

alot of serious quality to choose from for r1 and r2.
kreuzer getting better by the year sc wise.
nic nac if discounted to hard to pass up.
dpp will be a godsent for a couple of these guys hopefully.
Eg. If i cant fit nic nat in r1 or r2 he will be a fwd lock

want my r1 and r2 from round to round 24.
no stuffing about

 

[tracygrims]

Hmac/Clark/Nicnat/Grundy/McBean/Currie

 

[Bomber18]

NOT ryder

Any chance of Daniher getting FWD/RUC ? might be worth some thought.

 

[Squiz]

Charlie Dixon maybe if he is Ruck/FWD

 

[All is Wells]

Sandilands?

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Charlie Dixon maybe if he is Ruck/FWD

Yeah I'm liking the look of big Charlie for 2014. Hopefully Nic Nat has an injury free preseason, will be a lock for me although I know some will avoid him. Don't think I'll be one to get McIntosh, too injury prone for my liking and no footy for a couple of years.

 

[blue dreamer]

Robbie Warnock if at another club?

Robbie Warnock if at another club?

More like Kreuzer if Warnock is at another club. If Mick is smart he will do everything possible to trade Warnock for a high price.

Yarran, Warnock & 1st round pick > GWS for Tom Boyd and a high 2nd round pick.

 

[Bontempele]

NicNat is a lock but probably up forward.

Not too sure Macintosh will ever actually get on the park, so i doubt I'll get him.

Kreuzer has had a brilliant end and should continue that form.

Then I'll probably pick 1 of Minson and Goldy who are both safe picks.

Make it Gibbs and Warnock for Tom Boyd and a 2nd round pick and you got a deal

 

[johno686]

Im on the McBean train next year. Kreuzer and Minson will be my starting rucks

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Berger and Goldy perhaps?
Nic Nat if injury free and looks relaxed playing.
