This or that? - Trent Cotchin vs Brett Deledio

[Toga]

With it becoming clear that Murphy still probably will struggle with a tag this year, Trent Cotchin and Brett Deledio become possible replacements for Murphy in your side?

I've actually gone against my original word and currently have Deledio sitting pretty as my M5 at the moment!

Who are you gonna choose?

Lids at M5?!

shower, that's some stacking in the mids :o

[Toga]

Yeah mate I've stacked the mids heavily this year at the expense of a premium back and a mid pricer in the fwds. I'm comfortable enough starting only three premium backs and having Macaffer on the field, lets me have an ultra-strong midfield 8)

My Midfield premo's/semi premo's are currently at:
Swanny, Cotchin, Pendlebury, Redden (RedRock combo) & Fyfe (only mid around that price range that I think could potentially go 100+)

Would go Deledio but I just don't see him as a midfielder yet I'm too use to him leading my backline over the last few years, It was already tough enough to choose Fyfe over Mundy for the same reason since Fyfe lost his DPP because I've always seen him as a forward

Just switched Cotchin to Lids.

Going into Nab3, Lids was #3 tiger player in DTPoints per 100mins with 94.... Cotchin was bottom third with 58. Neither of them had too much game time though... but, still, 16 points more from 5 minutes less.

Further, NAB3, Lids was number 1 Tiger and Cotchin was number 3... despite Lids playing 6% less than Cotchin ---< and we know how durable Lids is...... so, no reason for him to play 6% less through the season.... effectively, looking at around a 10-15 point, effective, estimated, approximate, win for Lids tonight.

So, looking at a 26-31 points better preseason for Lids...... *IS* cheaper...... That is enough for me to start Lids over Cotchin.
