So I have 1 more spot in my team and it is in the mids. Have been debating between these two and am unsure as to who to pick between these two.

Bont Advantages:
- SC pig (contested possessions, Tackles, game influence etc.)
- Can score very well on his day and goes for goals more often than not
- VERY cheap for a premo mid (500k)
- Vsing North round 14 and is probably the best chance for him to go big and pick up his form
Bont Disadvantages:
- Looks like form is based on Bulldogs form
- Hasn't scored above 100 since round 7
- Current form suggests he may not pick it up.

Neale Advantages:
- Has been a revelation in Freo's midfield being in the top 6 midfielders of SC
- Fairly consistent scoring between 110 and 140
- In about 5% of teams meaning he is a genuine POD
Neale Disadvantages:
- Will Fyfe getting back into form affect Neale's output?
- About 60k more expensive than Bont
- Maybe I have missed the boat on his great form and he will drop off from now on.

Neale for sure. He's proven himself to be  a true premo, rarely puts in a stinker and isn't influenced by a losing team. Bont has a really poor record when the Doggies go down. Not sure they can just pick it up from here. Debated Bont last week but decided to let him go. 30% of the competition are stuck with him now and he represents potential a weak link in my opinion. Happy to be proven wrong but his record is now starting to resemble Fyfe's.

Definitely Neale. I'm tossing up between Neale and Merrett myself

Neales ownership is going to go up over the coming weeks like Zorkos and Merretts, wish id started the year with all 3.

Absolutely fed up with injury prone high ceiling players, avoided Rocky,Ablett thus far and stupidly brought in Ablett this round.
Can see it turning into a shower storm already, he grimaces every time someone hits his shoulder.

Both great picks. I have a hunch the dogs and the Bont will get it back together. I think I'd take the punt on the Bont tbh

Have ended up leaning more towards Neale since he is in better form and is fairly cheap for what he has done so far.

Managed to avoid the Bont all while being jealous of his (deserved?) scores. Since round 7, have been happy with my decision to hold off. Can't say the same for my mate who got him round 8 though  ::)
