Rucks

Buy

  • Tim English (Western Bulldogs)

English has had a solid start to the season and is averaging 64. At $184,900, if you need a cheap ruck option, he’s your man.

  • Nic Naitanui (West Coast)

People were cautious about starting the year with Naitanui after his long lay off but he is showing no signs of a drop in form. With an average of 102.1 and a price of $479,800, he is great value.

Sell

  • Matthew Kreuzer (Carlton)

Kreuzer is a superstar but he’s not putting great scores on the board and is very high in price. There’s better options out there for a lot cheaper.

Hold

  • Paddy Ryder (Port Adelaide)

Ryder went down with an Achilles injury in round one but he won’t be far off returning and as Port’s sole ruckman, he can get some big scores. Hold on to him for a while and sub Tim English into your team.
