D Swallow or Harris

[Cicjose]

who should I pick?

[McRooster]

Swallow.

He will see a lot of ball in the mid-field, Harris will see more off half back you'd think. Either will be good picks but the upside to Swallow is 'potential' and with Harris you sort of know what you're going to get.

[Cicjose]

I have Harris in my team atm though based on his price.

with Harris's bigger body would he be going to the midfield to "protect" the rookies?

[McRooster]

He will come in off half back to provide those blocks. He will use his experience to drag his fwd opponent in to trap others in the line and help create space for GAJ, Swallow and co.
Unfortunately in DT you don't get points for assists or blocks and I agree this is what Harris will be using his body and experience to do.

[Cicjose]

So Harris will be more defensive oriented rather than the roaming possession midfielder?

[FLOPITOUT1]

Both on my bench waiting for round 2 ;)

I have harris and trying thinking that as the number one mid at North was very good but everyone seems to be jumping on Swallow

For Supercoach I'd go Harris ... but for Dreamteam definitely Swallow - he will consistently play "on the ball" and get more possessions than Harris who could be played Wing, half-back or virtually anywhere OTHER than on the ball (his "small tank" was actually also why Laidley hated him, because he was good other than needing regular bench spells).
