2019 Premium Mids

[Nige]

Anyone think Beams has the potential to get back to 110+ with his return to the pies. Lining up with the likes of Treloar, Pendles, Sidarse, Grundy, Adams and even Phillips?

Firmly on my radar. Really wanna pick him and still might, just gotta weigh up whether I think he'll actually get the points and not lose them to the rest of the Pies million midfielders.

Yeah trying to squeeze a Pie in there somewhere with all the new rules and a very dominant ruck it makes sense maybe not Beams maybe Treloar who's a real burst player with less congestion at centre bounces or Adams is nicely priced.

We all know Beams can score but his body is horrible. Not in full training still

Yeah that was my line of thinking. Ive had Treloar previously and he just butchers the ball so much. It really inhibits his ability to pump out the monster scores. Even when he goes 30+ possies he can still only scrape a 105-110.

I'm having difficulty deciding on which Premium Mids I actually want to start

Macrae is expensive and hasn't backed it up
Cripps seems like a lock
Oliver and Kelly have both had interrupted preseasons
Fyfe never plays 22 matches
Neale is quite attractive, but Bris have a lot of mids too
Gaff, Yeo could be great POD's
Treloar, Beams all the Pies don't interest me as who know's who will score the most
Ablett, Duncan, Jelwood don't interest me - same as Collingwood
Dusty is pretty much a lock and great value
Crouch and Merrett are also great value for money

I feel like I need to be starting 2-3 600kish guys, but I am seriously tempted to chase the value and pick guys who have proven they can go 110+

Dusty, Crouch, Merrett, and maybe just 1 of the 600k guys

Feels wrong, but could be right

Currently going with Cripps/Fyfe/Yeo/Dusty/Zerrett

I'm seriously thinking about starting Danger in the mids  :o he can always be shifted fwd later and it makes team more versatile , with Heeney , Smith , Wingard , Gray , Menegola , Gunston plus others in the Fwd's definitely an option.

That thought has crossed my mind too, but I don't think it makes sense

Eg/ Why have Danger take a mid spot so that you can start Smith/Menegola as example in your forward line, when you can just pick Zerrett for the same price and he'll score more than any forward other than Danger

I got cold feet with Oliver and his shoulders , Macrae I'm not sure on him for his price , have Fyfe and Cripps and Smith Wingard , Heeney , and Gray in FWD's looks ok  ;)

Yeah I'm tempted also. It can be any premo that's a mid/fwd. Allows flexibility with any corrective trades (or any trades), flexibility with rookies on field and u can pick 4 fwds plus Greene. Currently thinking Danger, Heeney, Gray and Wingard.

[GoLions]

But then you'd be playing a fwd rookie instead of a mid rookie? Unless you've absolutely stacked the forward line, whacking Danger fwd means you drop your F6 (presumably a rookie), and play an extra mid rookie instead.

Think you're still living in 2017 there. In 2018 Treloar was just not the same - he put up just one sub-100 score from 30+ possessions and it was his round 1 score of 87. In contrast he went 120+ 4 times and had 3 games where he went 100+ from under 30 disposals. And all that from a guy who played only 13 games and averaged 29.5 disposals a game.

I doubt Dusty will spend as much time forward now that Tom Lynch will be in the F50 with Jroo.

$563k may be the cheapest you will get him. Going to be in my starting side. Got him currently at M4 with Cripps, Oliver and Fyfe M1-M3.

Personally am not worried about the shoulder surgeries for Oliver. He is a young contested beast in a side which is very hungry to improve on last year.

Cripps is self-explanatory. Fyfe is a risk given he can't seem to put 22 games together but his scoring power when he does play is undeniable and is a lock in round 1.

Depends on my end structure and rookies whether I start a mid pricer like Miles/Hanners/Libba at M5 or get the cash to start Crouch or Zerrett.

Throw Sloane and Zorko into the discussion as well.

The thing with Oliver is he has rarely put up a stinker the last two years. He had 3 games 80 or below (and one of those was an 80) in that period which is just crazy consistency. He has a high ceiling and a high floor. You would only expect him to keep improving.

Yep and only getting closer to 30. I can actually see him playing a HFF role like he did when he was at the Pies the first time around
