    Rucks 2016

    Still, fair call by you. Plenty of tougher challenges coming up and I'm not expecting 153s every other week. At NicNat's starting price if he manages somewhere 110 I'll be very pleased.

    Rucks 2016

    NicNat 153 from 67% TOG. I know in the past NicNat hasn't achieved TOG as high as most of the other premium rucks but 67% is very low even by his standard. Makes you wonder what he could do against some of these sub par rucks like Martin if he could stay on the park a bit longer ...

    I got 2255 and ranked 10,086 which means there must be a hell of a lot of teams bunched within 10 points of each other ...

    Sorry for jumping the gun there. I saw it reported that he took a knee to the head from Hodge at the start of the 3rd but he clearly passed the concession test.

    Bartel. Concussed. Again. Unbelievable.

    If he'd just started smashing right from the start everyone else would have jumped on before R3, right ... got to find a couple of positives in a slightly sub par start ...

    It would be completely unfair to cop an injury forced trade first up round 1. Unpleasant memories of last year. I've heard AC joint but might be just a knock ...

    Rucks 2016

    @Lowrider NicNat played like he's a fair chance to beat your expectations but I tell you what ... your call on Hickey is looking very astute. You wrote: "By the way, if someone wants a mid-pricer I'd consider Hickey. Picked as a solo ruck this week with Longer nowhere in sight" and he went and...

    Ross said in his post game presser that Nat was 100% fit at the start of the game today. And I trust Ross completely. *sigh*

    Never move house in SuperCoach season. Or get married. Or go on holiday. SuperCoach is not compatible with any other aspects of life. Note to self: enroll kids at boarding school next year.

    Ah. I've got Fyfe and Pendles so there is a point of difference I guess. If only they had fired ...

    Round 1 Discussion

    Snap! Exactly the same score as me with Bartel and Danger to come. I wonder if we have exactly the same teams? I'm feeling a bit regretful about taking Brad Crouch and having all of Dea, Tipu and Brown in the back line ... but oh well ... Nothing to do but hold on and hope it plays out OK. May...

    I will hold unless it is confirmed that he will miss more than two weeks.

    I've stuck with Grimley as my ruck donut so Heater was my only captain loophole. All my eggs are in the GAJ basket ... go GAZ!

    Rucks 2016

    Hi Lowrider. No offence to you - because I've read a lot of what you've written this preseason and I think plenty of it has been interesting and on the money - but I'm not sure this is a great analysis of NicNat. 1/ You state: "Last season he showed some of the same traits, only the bulk of his...

    Sorry. Can't talk you out of that ... I've gone with something similar myself?!

    X v. Y

    1) Rich Nicnat S.Gray vs 2) Brodie Stef S.Gray vs 3) Brodie Stef Buddy vs 4) Yeo Stef Buddy vs 5) Yeo Nicnat Buddy Well I ended up going Rich (without a huge amount of confidence) and NicNat. And I steered clear of Buddy and Gray. Not sure if that helps.

    Named in their VFL side so I don't think his absence from the AFL side is injury related: http://m.essendonfc.com.au/news/2016-03-24/vfl-team-announcement If he was going to be your only non player I could understand it but as you presumably already have a donut at R3. I'd be trying to get...
