TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
So, the discussion is up late this week. Namely because Ive been very slack in getting it all put together.
Infact, *so* slack, I havent even added my own take to it.
Its a good thing then that just about all our writers have come up with their own take on the rucks this week.
So, this weeks topic: With Cox, Jolly and Clark all disappointing so much, what should we do?
Kicking it off over the break, with his thoughts is Knighty

<blockquote>
Two rounds in and we’re already having to discuss those annoying ruckmen again. All these problems are probably why Grant Thomas preferred not to have them. Anyway down to business. If you were smart enough to pick Sandilands/Kreuzer/Seaby give yourselves a pat on the back, you can officially stop reading. In particular well done if you picked Seaby, for you look like getting excellent value for your dollar (compared to those who picked Hille/NicNat anyway). If you didn’t get him at the start the boat has not sailed yet, but think carefully-do you really think he is a keeper? He is only viable if you believe that he is, and won’t go back to his WCE days of pumping out consistent 60s. For the rest of us who were sucked in though, here are my views on the rest of the popular ruck options whose scores have failed to reach the same height as their bodies.
Clark-struggling with illness and more importantly, a lot less time in the ruck. All the numbers seem to suggest that while Leuey is in the team, he will struggle-and even if he does go down, Charman will be fit pretty soon as well, which may force him into even less time in the middle. TRADE up to Sandilands or down to Kreuzer (unless anyone is volunteering to take Leuenberger out for us?)
Jolly-struggling to adjust to the new role at a club that isn’t as advantageous to ruckmen. I still say HOLD, as he hasn’t had positional change and is likely to come good.
Cox-probably not match fit yet. Will definitely come good, but...

Ive been asked a couple of times recently about trading now so I feel that it is time to put something out there.
Sure, this article wont be as long as <a href="http://tooserious.net/?p=821">the last one[/url] - however it will open that same way.
Then I asked the question, what makes a winning team? Now I ask the question, what makes a good trade?
Funnily, the answers to both questions are the same.
A good trade scores you the most points.
So whenever I think of making a trade, the question I like to ask myself is: How many points will this trade make me over the season?
When discussing this, its important to understand the implications of Points per game (ppg). To examine this, well look at a case study.
Say I have Martin, who is averaging 70. I decide that I want to trade him up to Bartel who is averaging 110. Firstly Ill need to free up the cash difference between Martin and Bartel, so we will need to trade our other Cashcow, Jetta, down to a rookie priced player. We can then use that cash to turn Martin into Bartel.
So what we have now, is two trades netting us an additional 40 ppg (or 20ppg per trade.) however, youll also need to consider the timing of the trade. Making that trade in round 6 will score you an extra 320 points over the season (20ppg * 16 rounds). However, making that same trade in round 11 will only score you and extra 220 (20ppg * 11 rounds) over the season.
This is an important concept to visualise, because an injury to a premium, with no coverage, is going to cost you 110ppg.
So in the above case, you would be just as well off covering a 2 round injury rather than scoring a 40ppg upgrade from one of your rookies. And is why saving trades for the end of the season becomes important because as you keep getting injuries, a two or three week injury could be a much wiser place to spend your trades.
Of course, having bench coverage changes the maths in that a bit meaning you would need Bartel out for 4 rounds...

Wow, its been a huge week.
The week opened with a huge 170 to JB who proved to be the difference between the Lions and the Blues. Betts, Adcock and Clark disappointed.
Then we had to wait.
And boy was it worth it. A 1 point nail bitter as Collingwood squeeked a win over the impressive Demons. Here, Scully bottomed scored, despite having 10 touches more than Jolly, who along with Fraser continues the disappointing ruck theme of this week.
The Saint won by 100 with Roo, Montagna, Dal Santo and Goddard impressing. North as youd expect did terribly. But the Kangeroos night was summed up by Harvey with 5 touches and 11 SuperCoach points. Probably a career low for the North champion.
West Coast and Port delivered the second nail bitter of the round. And if anyone scored a ton in this match, I would be suprised. Waters and NitNat impressed. Banner and Shuey, not so much. While Cox became the 4th ruckman cursed with under performing. I hear that Hurn is gunna have a couple of weeks on the sidelines though. Glad Maguire is performing enough to cover.
Sydney delivered the goods against Adelaide, OKeefe performed massively, but the biggest story of the game has got to be Seaby with a huge 135 - breaking the ruck curse. Goodwin did something to his kneee, so keep an ear out.
Apparently there was also a game at Ethihad stadium on Sunday, a painful, heart wrenching dissappointment. Not to take anything away from Freo though, those guys are lookinng great. Barlow, what a star! Sandi, standing up as a premium ruck where so many have fallen, Ballantyne, looking marvelous for all those who picked him up and Silvagni hitting the ton. On the Bombers front, Gumby did great, as did Howlett, who should hold that spot another week. Particularly with McVeigh annd his blood infection.
Richmond got smashed, but all Hall could manage was 1 goal. Disappointing! Cooney and gilbee however were delicious. As was Newman who bounced back from last week - its funny how...

Its bloody wierd having a day go by between football.
One game is just enough to whet the appetite, and then were forced to wait.
It was a pretty good game though, with big JB being the difference between the two teams kicking 7 goals and scoring a massive 171 points.
It unsung heros of the blues were Murphy and Scotland. Both looking like great pickups for their buyers.
Maquire impressed, to those of you who moved him onto the field, I dip my hat.
Waite picked up 16 touches, 5 marks and 5 tackles. If he had been doing that at the end of the game, instead of the start, he would have scored better - so donot worry about him.
And finally Clark, hes a worry. He looks tired and lethagic. His second efforts are almost non-existant.
I guess it all depends on how sick he has been. Ah well, I think hell be the biggest decision for most with a 50-70k drop imminent.
Ah well, its all back today so we can all exhale again.
Which Pie is going to dominate the Dees? Theres so many to choose from.
My dreamteam is rooting for Swan, but I would *love* to see Ball do the honors!
The rumors on Ablett has been persistant for a few days now, but I reckon hell be right. It sure is too early in the season for this kind speculation though! I need some 170 scores to put my mind at ease!
Did we all have a good Friday? Anyone cracked into their eggs yet? I know Im tempted to.

So, round two lockout is fast approaching, and its a strange feeling not knowing what the teams are yet!
Normally I know by know what my trades/team is going to be, Ive just got my ear out for any last minute changes.
But a Thursday lockout, with a Saturday game really throws a spanner in the works.
So what are we thinking?
Gray - Its an unfortunate situation, but I think youve got to hold onto him. At least until you have better information into who youre trading into.
Rockliff - As above. Any sideways trades of Rockliff this week are bound to end in peril. Hold him for an extra week.
Ablett - Hes the giant elephant in the corner that no-one wants to talk about. "injured" already, but a Monday game should see him play. Though it *is* Ablett and he *is* a superstar, so Im sure hell be right.
As for making trades, Im about 80% of the way through a might post on trading, but arent going to get it up by tonight, so Ill leave you with this key snippet.
Trades exist to make you points. A good trade will make you 300+ points for the year. Which in round 1 is a 15 ppg increase.
Do you honestly believe that any sideways trade you make now will turn a 15 ppg increase? If so, I would love to talk about it in the comments!
If not however, then steer clean of trading this week.
What are the other concerns that are out there?

So, we had a great round of tipping this week with 14 people picking 7 winners. Sadly, nobody got all 8.
Bryce Gibbs was by far the most popular pick, but sadly, came up short.
Eddie Betts was the highest scorer for the game, but neither of the two people who picked him got 7.
Amusingly though, we had three people pick 7 and an equal highest scorer. (2 on Marc Murphy and 1 on Kade Simpson)
So we had to go to the predicted score to break the ties, and here luckily we found a difference.
This weeks winner, picked 7 winners and a point difference of 6. Second place had a difference of only 8- So it was a *very* close finish!
Made me realise though that had that been a tie, the final tie-breaker would have been based on the earliest timestamp on the entry. But I dont think Ive explicitly stated that before. (So get your tips in for next week sooner rather than later!)
Ill be sending the winners details through to <a href="http://www.footysystembet.com.au/">FootySystemBet[/url] and they will contact you with further details.
Please note though that its probably bad form to go post the tips given up here (I mean, they do charge a pretty penny for their services), but if you could give us an impartial review of how they went at the end of the season, that would be awesome!
As usual, the ladder is over the break.

So, we had a great round of tipping this week with 14 people picking 7 winners. Sadly, nobody got all 8.

Alright, heres the current standings for the Sideways cup. Please, if you havent entered you code in yet and want to enter, you still can as Ill be pulling in the scores again on Thursday.
Dont forget, theres a $500 corporate event give away from the good folk at Sideways to the team who puts in the highest round score for the year - so get in there!
Alternatively, if you can ensure that youve entered in your code correctly by finding yourself on the below chart, then that would be great.
And if youve entered in the wrong id (ie- if you cant find your team below), let me know (via email) and Ill put in the scores of your real code.
Also, the following players have a Supercoach id entered that couldnt find a team:
hocjb001, jake01, joshs heroes, master_mick and stone
And the following players have a Dreamteam id that I couldnt find:
dadavid, Gerco, master_mick
So, heres the tally: (over the break)
