Underpriced Mids- Parker and Barlow

barlowlove · May 10, 2015, 09:37:47 PM

Is anyone considering either of these guys at $486k and $480k respectively?

I'm thinking of jumping on 1 because I cant afford a full blown upgrade this week... Leaning towards Barlow I think he's safe for 105-110 from here, but can anyone who has followed closer suggest why he has dropped off this year?

Has Neale taken his spot? Was actually surprised he scored over 100+ against the Bombers. Tempted by Parker as I'm considering moving on VDB plus I already have Fyfe..

Have had Parker from the start. Get on board, he's starting to fire.

think next week with rocky becoming 410k price range thats where im looking as well as Stevie Jay at the 420k mark is very tempting.

parker will eventually fire up might be hot pick just after they byes

I know these 2 are super cheap, but I don't think they're 2 players I want in my final 8

If I had to pick one, Barlow would be the one, and I am considering him, but it just doesn't feel right for me - I cant put my finger on it but neither of these just don't feel right

I have 3 mid spots remaining, and 2 of those are locked away for JPK and Rocky, so I don't think I will be getting one of these, considering I would want Ablett, Sloane, Sidebottom to get that last spot

Normally I would always 100% jump on one of these 2, because I usually dedicate 1 spot per position to a super bargain who will only be 5ppg off the pace of the next best. However, with Sloane and Rocky soon to be bargains, I'm not sure how necessary either of these 2 are.

I was set in stone going Vander to Barlow, but now parker is looking pretty good, either will be my M8 so both will have pretty good pick ups altho vanders to rocky next week leaving some cash in the bank could be good to.

I'm thinking with all these mid bargains and uncertainty in other positions, I might get a fully upgraded line in the next 3 weeks
Parker/Barlow
then Rocky
then Sloane
Without spending many dollars at all

Gigantor · May 10, 2015, 10:36:39 PM

Not worth the risk IMO
Sloane and Rocky are much better options
With GAJ and Sidey still due back I'm not keen on filling my mid line to quick, plus Cripps will be a serviceable M8 for a few extra rounds

Atm I'm liking Parker but kinda tempted on Mitch Duncan, saw him Friday night and looks like he is really stepping up now!

kilbluff1985 · May 10, 2015, 10:39:21 PM

Stevie in this week

AlexIsOnFire · May 11, 2015, 08:41:54 AM

Barlow this week for sure...

Parker on,y one tonne this year, against Melbourne too, however round 1 he was on track for a tonne, I'm just not convinced he is worthy for our midfields

I've had Duncan from rnd 1(He was my breakout risk mid this year) was averaging 70 before the last 2 weeks glad I held him, reckon he will continue his form from here on in
Thinking Barlow this week is a bargain, think he might be over his ankle injury now and start to put together a run of decent scores and a safer bet than Stevie J
Or will downgrade MacIntosh for McKenzie still undecided

RaisyDaisy · May 11, 2015, 04:38:48 PM

Wasn't interested in these two, but now with Sloane more or less irrelevant for 2015 I'm thinking Barlow could be an option

HotTiges · May 11, 2015, 05:28:00 PM

Yep may have to consider one of these bargains for Sloane now..grr
