I really don't know what to do with Lobbe. Having a crap round so far so do I just ride the zero this week. There aren't many options to replace him with the games left to play. Best option looks to be McEvoy but I didn't really want him in the first place so feels like my hand is being forced.....
Mcevoy by a mile mate, has never relied on his ruck work to score. Will be the least affected I think.

Mcenvoy is a more capable forward than Ceglar. WIll be the Leunburger in this situation which might not be such a bad thing

Take a punt with Blicavs and pocket cash
The way the Rucks are scoring, go Blicavs, as he will represent the best points/dollar.
Id go the cheapest. All rucks seem to scoring the same
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I must admit I don't know a lot about him but he seems to have steadily improved so hoping the trend can continue. Is he the #1 ruck for the Cats? Even if he averages 70'ish I'll be happy with the extra coin in the bank.

Also, just to refresh my memory...if I trade Lobbe it can't be reversed can it???

No reversal. Once game 1 starts in a Round, all trades are final, and can't be reversed. Having said that, you have unlimited trades right now, so don't fret too much.

Disastrous first round.

Popular midpricer options and premiums have been very, very underwhelming so far.

Rookies for the most part of been fantastic. Another 80+ from CEY today.

Pretty sure you should be able to reverse prior to the game. Not after it though.
* although just saw Rowsus post above, so I could be wrong :)

I agree with this. I have had Blicavs (and Burger) locked in for weeks now.

The bonus with Blicavs is that only a small % of his points are generated in the RUCK position. (so he wont be screwed like the rest of the rucks this season)

Cats have McIntosh, Simpson, Vardy and Blicvas who do rucking. Vardy is injured for another 4-6 weeks. I feel Blicvas plays more of a floating midfield/defender/forward role when needed rather than a main ruck.

Goldstein (3), Jacobs and McEvoy (2 each) are the only rucks to have multiple 2000pt seasons in the last four years. Could do worse than take a punt on McEvoy if you had Lobbe.

It's between McEvoy and Blicavs. Flip a coin?!!!? I do feel better with McEvoy and he could turn out to be a keeper where Blicavs may need an upgrade. He still gives me around $59K change from Lobbe.
