Set and forget. It's seems the obvious and easiest choice when starting your SuperCoach or Fantasy sides each season - opting for the pairing of Demons captain Max Gawn and Magpies star Brodie Grundy as your one-two punch.
Head and shoulders above the rest of the ruck crop, Gawn and Grundy are sure to do damage when you come up against them, but their starting price is sure do just as much pain to your starting budget.
Starting at a SuperCoach/AFL Fantasy starting price of $751,400/$944,000, Max Gawn will leave a large hole in your pocket early, but his 2020 averages of 139.9/98.9 prove his worth to your side.
Grundy sits at $648,200/$867,000 to start the year and looms as the more popular option across both fantasy codes. understood to have shaken off any injury complaint ahead of the new year, we could see the Collingwood big man return to his very best.
With only two starting ruck spots up for grabs, we name the formidable options outside of the set and forget model.
5. Sam Draper
SuperCoach: $378,100
Fantasy:ย $454,000
The cheap option on our list, Draper firms as the up and coming tall to keep your eye on.
Following impressive glimpses in 2020, Draper has plenty of untapped potential and is destined to break the one hundred mark on multiple occasions.
A solid score of 71 SuperCoach points from just 58% TOG against Geelong in the AAMI Community Series is a great sign ahead of the new year.
