It's close to the Ruck set up I had for about a week preseason, except I had Thurlow/Derrickx instead of Currie.
If Longer is picked, then you better rejig. If Longer isn't picked, then you can hope he also isn't picked much in the next 7 or 8 weeks, and go with Hickey. The thing that put me off Hickey is his TOG was highish last season, so no improvement to come there. Yes, McEvoy was the main Ruck, but for 2 Rucks combined. their tapouts/game was disappointing. I decided Hickey might sneak to 85-90 without Longer, and 75-80 at most with Longer. My stance on stepping stone players is well know, they need to score at a high rate. In this case, I would need confidence Hickey would average at least in the 90's, preferably 95 or higher. I don't think he will, and I think Longer will play along side him earlier rather than later. If you are happy with 85-90, and will risk Longer coming in early, go for it, otherwise rejig it.

Is it wrong to trade pavlich for Trealor?
I never liked pavlich this season, I just jumped on the bandwagon because everyone was praising his value.
I've always liked trealor, and he was my number1 breakout candidate during the preseason, but I wasn't courageous enough to pick him due to the disaster I had last season.
Traelor also has a great draw early on and a good bye round.
Thoughts?
thanks

Prior to Saturday I believed it was one year too early for any GWS Mids, now I'm not sure. One win doesn't change things, but if they have arrived, then there's some value there.
It's burning a trade on a sideways after one round, and you obviously don't get his 150 score to count. I'd advise against it, but who knows? It might turn out to be an inspired move.

Thanks Rowsus. Will assess the Longer situation. Hickey + ~90k in bank = 400k. If NicNat is subbed out first game or scores low, i am hoping he can fall to around 450k. So Hickey just needs to appreciate a small amount to allow the side trade. Possible, but he is facing Mumford, Cox/NicNat, Jacobs, Ryder, Leuy in the early part of the season.
