I am feeling no confidence with what to do with my rucks this year so I just decided to type “what is the best ruck strategy for afl supercoach in 2023” into openai.
This is what it wrote: (Thanks for nothing, however, I was impressed with what it did come up with otherwise!)

The best ruck strategy for AFL Supercoach in 2023 will depend on a number of factors, such as the player pool, player prices, and team tactics. However, here are some general tips that can help you when selecting your ruck strategy:
- Invest in a premium ruckman: A premium ruckman is someone who consistently scores well and is often one of the top scorers in the competition. Investing in a premium ruckman can give you a solid foundation for your team.
- Consider a value ruckman: If you can't afford a premium ruckman, consider selecting a value ruckman who is likely to perform well but is not as expensive. This can free up funds to spend on other areas of your team.
- Look for dual-position players: Some ruckmen are also listed as forwards, which can be an advantage in Supercoach as it allows you to have more flexibility with your team structure.
- Select a backup ruckman: It's always a good idea to have a backup ruckman in case your primary ruckman is injured or underperforming.
- Monitor player form and injuries: As with all positions in Supercoach, it's important to keep an eye on player form and injuries. This will help you to make informed decisions about which players to select and trade.
- Consider the team's game plan: The ruckman's role in a team's game plan can have a significant impact on their Supercoach scoring potential. Look for ruckmen who are involved in the game plan and are likely to receive a lot of hit-outs.
- Balance your team: It's important to have a balanced team, with a mix of premium and value players. This will help you to maximize your Supercoach scoring potential.

With Teakle having been selected in the stronger team during Port's intra-club against Lycett in the weaker team got me thinking.
If, and it is a big if, Port lined up that way in round 1 is Teakle a viable option at $198k for R3 or could we get even crazier and select Teakle at R2 with Madden at R3 and a Cameron/Jackson type up forward as back-up. Bit like the Preuss and English combination last year.
Have always loved a rookie ruck option so might be a bit bias here. Also think with the complete uncertainty in the rucks it might allow us some more time to see the dust settle.
Obviously a long way to go but just preparing myself for the slight possibility. Feel as though Teakle at R2 is just not viable as you're also selecting a compromised FWD/RUC just as a back up rather than as a player who you would select in their own right. Think this is why I selected Preuss last year as firmly believed English was a good pick either way, don't see Cameron or Jackson as the same at this stage.
