2019 Premium Mids

[frenzy]

Reckon this bloke backed it up and should be in the conversation. 110,117,111,117,118,120,104,111. Mr. Jelwood.  ;)

Last two years has seen him regress to 102,105. There's been a definite changing of the guard with mid premos, as blokes like Selwood, Pendles, JPK slow down while the likes of Oliver, Kelly, Cripps take over.
I expect a 105 ish average again, not bad but not enough to be a top mid

a few of the up and coming didnt score the 105 ish. Bont 104 Dusty 104 Zerrett 100. Will there be 8 Ubers this year ahead of him and will he finish in the top ten MIDS again.

The guys you mentioned have more upside though. Jelwood is priced at what he will average. There's no value there like the others. If you want a guy to bank on for 105 then lock him in but I pick my premium mids in the hope they can go 112+ (even if they dont always)

Pretty well known fact that Dusty was injured most of the year.

He was never gonna back up going 119, every knew that too, his 2017 was that good and emulating it was never gonna happen.

Should easily go 110 or very close to it this year which at his starting price means it'd be beyond nutty to not start him.

And with Lynch entering the forward line you would suspect a fully fit Dusty will spend a lot more time in the middle. Lock him in.

I keep thinking this but the more I do keep thinking about it, the more I think that his role isn’t gonna change as much because the Tigers midfield is quality enough anyway that the ball will come down enough. And Dusty plonked at FF right next to Lynch is a scary thought. Lynch obviously demands the #1 defender so Dusty claims the #2 defender and can sit at Lynchy’s feet. Dusty could kick 50+ this year with ease which is more valuable to the Tigers team imo

Imagine the match up nightmare of JRoo Lynch Dusty circling the inside 50.

Adam Treloar anyone? 3% of teams...

Dusty in the mids to me is a bit of a turn off. Last year showed he is very suspect under tags. One of the AFL rule changes that hasn't seen as much discussion as some is not being able to set up behind the umpire at centre bounces, which was used to try and break tags. I'm not going near players like Dusty, Sloane or Zerrett.

Too many pie mids, will likely cut into each other's scores. Don't think theres a clear standout in the group who could be a top 10 mid.

Heard this theory year after year but when it comes down to it good players or pigs just get the ball no matter who is on the field nothing will change this year

Just don't tend to see top 10 mids from teams with such deep midfields. Can happen, but less common than standouts I think (e.g. Fyfe, Cripps, Martin).

Ablett, Bartel, Corey, Kelly, Chappy
edit - or more recently where there was a dominant set of midfielders - JPK, Hanners, Parker

For me SL SC is difficult enough to get the right mix of players making the decision even harder worrying about players in the team of the mid  I'm picking just adds another layer confusion to the whole process ;D

Fair enough ;)

Wouldn't say any of the pie mids are a bad pick by any means, but IMO would be hard to pick which one will be the best, and if they'll be top 10. Treloar definitely a decent pick though :)

Expecting the Pies to have a very good year the new rules in mids with Grundy as a ruck seems to suit them a lot I could see 2 top ten mids and  1 or 2  bit lower but that's just my opinion  :D
