How many other Grundy owners are a tad nervous going into this week?
Surely Gawn is not needed this week against the Tigers in the ruck?
Not nervous at all. I think there's a role for both in the team, and they don't have to cut each other up too much. What most people missed in Max's numbers last season is, that he scored more in general play than most of the other Rucks, but on Ruckwork alone he was around the 8th best scoring Ruck. Grundy is starting to coordinate better with our Mids, so they'll have confidence to have him Ruck his share. Both can be 20 disposal Rucks, which is gold, especially if they add a goal. I certainly won't be knee-jerking on Grundy, if he puts in an average one after Gawn is back. Look at those people that knee-jerked Darcy after his 50. I always thought that was crazy, as the beast Darcy is, is that he has 3 or 4 poor scores each season, it's just that that 50 was 20 points lower than his normal poor score. 20 points lower, and out he goes? Crazy!!!

I’m in a bind.. main cash league opponent and I both have De Goey, and both have taken Hollands E score with the onfield donut locked in. Our match up is projected to be within 5 points, with the state of play:

Me - Stewart, Coniglio, Marshall + 108 points

Him - Sav, Green, Worpel, NDaicos, Caminiti

I can put the E on McKenzie to cover a De Goey late out, but means I get his score over Hollands if he goes sub 65 and De Goey does play. That said, if De Goey misses, I could get a handy 20-30 points towards a tight match up. Potentially more if there is an early injury.

Any thoughts/opinions out there? I’m genuinely torn!

What's the alternative?
