2012: Summary
For the last couple of years Benny has been flying well under the radar whilst Sandi, Coxy, The Mullet and NicNat soak up all the attention. Last season was another example of why he should come into serious consideration for you. He was sent in for knee surgery in round 6 but didn't miss a game on the back straight. He played as the #1 ruck and took his breather floating inside the 50s and often taking SC-gold intercept marks.
2013: What to expect
Prediction:
Watters has already come out stating Kosi is a critical part of the team for next year, however you'd imagine McEvoy would get as much, if not more of the ruck duties in comparison to this year. His aerobic capacity makes him an extremely consistent ruckman. If you're looking for a POD away from the big 4, McEvoy is your man.
PPG: 112
better options next year
Not really on my radar.
Very consistent, but cant fit him in over a NicNat - Berger combo...
He will be a safe and solid pick...just better options.
Not for me atm
Had Big boy Mcevoy for about the last 8 rounds this year and he was very solid.
I think Berger will be similar though and a lot cheaper and its a bit hard to look past an improving NicNat as the #1 ruck
Could be a good POD! But would rather stick with Nic Nat, Maric or Goldy
