Position Ruck Discussion

[NT.Thunder]

Naismith another serious knee injury, makes life easier on the trade table for next week but ***, makes leaving Pittonet hurt.

Do Richmond now play 2 rucks against Gawn?
I was going to bite the bullet and trade in Gawn but does this give me a weeks grace.
There are other trades I would prefer to do. Can I have 5 trades this week?

I know he should be a priority and it's gonna hurt not having him but I can't justify Gawn right now. It would mean either trading out Pittonet or having Pittonet on the bench. Neither makes sense.

At some point over the next 3-4 weeks I think Pittonet owners will need to cash-in. Running him on the bench for a couple of weeks isn't the end of the world. I feel nervous not having Gawn and will likely bring him in this week (Fyfe to Gawn), and run Pittonent as R3 for another 1-2 weeks.
You will likely need $250K-$300K to upgrade Pittonet to Gawn (from $450K/$500K to $700k/$750K) which won't be easy to find, which is why I may jump this week.

I have Gawn, Grundy and Pittonet and think having Pittonet on thebench I see okay on the basis that it's just short term.

Unless he has another big score I reckon he should have c. 2 more meaningful price rises in him before being traded, so you're really only investing an incremental c. $280k for say 2 weeks. That's maybe 112 points assuming you can fruitfully invest all of the loose change in incremental points, which is probably not the case given rookies outscore their price. Definitely a consideration, but not a deal breaker in my view.

Hehe - great minds?

His opponents after this week aren't guaranteed now. I'm happy to hold off a few.

@Connoisseur can I trouble you for Gawn’s interstate average? I recall in one season it was very good but not sure if it was an anomaly! Thanks!

Excellent mate! I think 2016 was the year I was thinking of. They look good for all years except 2017 (which was his injury year).

Pit has English and Lycett next. Think you gotta hold with English next, could be another 130 although, English has been better of late.
