I've done a fair bit of thinking about Currie the last few days and I must say I'm warming to him at R3. D8 seems to once again be a very weak rookie slot this year so common sense is leading me to take my F/D there and take the perceived ruck cover and higher quality rookie in Currie. Nicholls being as unreliable as he is was probably the tipping point.
Opinion Questions For Rowsus

Hey Rowsus,
Just keen to see what u think of two players.
Firstly, Buddy. Can he get back to his best? He seems underpriced but I wasn't a fan of his up and down scores in the past. It used to frustrate me that he one week he goes big then the next he does nothing.
Secondly, Kreuzer in the Ruck. Has finally had a good pre- season and averaged 89 last year with no pre-season. Can he step it up an average over 100? Was thinking of not starting with Goldy and using Kreuzer as stepping stone to him.

Hey rowsus,
i've seen you mention a ruck combo of currie/grimley/martin, im assuming you are looking at a 'get goldy' operation around round 6?
I've had numerous iterations with a martin & smith/nicholls and a wells type player, with eg a single downgrade to petracca from wells and increased value in smith/nicholls to get goldy when (if) hes dropped in value with a simple 2 trades.
interested in what your plan of attack is, if you'd be willing to share- that is of course operation 'get goldy' is your actual plan at all!

Fair enough I suppose.
Do we know for sure that Buddy will definitely, 100% miss games later in the season?
Heath Shaw for example played all games last year, but before that had a history of missing 3, 4, 5 games a year for a number of reasons.
I know looking at history gives us a guide to what players might do in the future.
For me, I look at average and if they are fit and had a good pre season and playing same or similar role in their team, I'll probably pick them regardless of assumption of missing games for whatever reason.

Well explained, and good examples, anfa18. Have some rep
I doubt Buddy can get back to his 110+ type averages best, but I am confident he can be a good pick, if you are prepared to ride the ups and downs.
Kreuz is Kreuz. I can see him averaging Mid to high 90's if he gets through 20+ games. The only way I can see him going 100+ is, if gets off to a flyer, then gets injured...... again.

Hi bianchije,
I'd love to get Goldy coming into that golden run he has at Rnds 6 - 9 (WB, Stk, Ess, Carl), but if I can't, I can't. Currie doesn't have to be part of that equation. If he's not mooing when it's time for me to get Goldy, then Currie just moves to R3. I don't have a schedule as such, to get Goldy. A lot depends on how his price is looking. That's one of the beauties of having a DPP on that line. I don't have to use someone from that line to get Goldy!

Thus emboldened can I hijack the thread for a minute and mention how disappointed I am by members who ask a question, get a response, and then cannot be arsed to thank the responder(s).
Back to you Rowsus - the floor is yours. Next question.

I'm doing it! (waiting for team news of course)... currently on Goldstein Currie Grimley
If Currie averages as much as an average mid rookie (like Gresham?) and has solid job security (better than Gresham?) i feel I can use that $ to strengthen other areas of my field. It then allows me time to see which premium ruck I should grab (Gawn, Nic Nat, Martin) - at this stage I have some doubts which one of these is best.
Risky? Perhaps, but there's risk in many selctions

Some may PM or Rep a post as a way of saying thankyou, but yes I do sometimes notice over the whole website people can forget to acknowledge a response to their questions.
Just on that, an alternate quick and easy way to thank and acknowledge any responder is to like the post, by clicking on on the thumbs up button.

Hey Rowsus; hopefully it won't come to this, but what would you suggest if one had to choose between the two following options.
Player A from Team B is out for a game or two. Rookie X, with low perceived job security, has come into the team to replace him. It is the general consensus that when Player A returns, Rookie X will be dropped again.
Rookie Y, with medium-high perceived job security, has not been selected, but the general consensus is that he is very close to getting a decent run of games.
Who do you pick?
