Not sure how much traction I will gain with this but here goes anyways. Aside from the top three midfielders and leaving the Bulldogs mids out of the equation, who do you think will be the best options through the midfield. For what its worth, I like Zerrett & Cripps. Danger has the groin issue, Jelly is prone to soft tissue injuries and I'm not confident of where Titch is at. Bulldogs midfielders I'm not overly keen on with the unpredictability of Beveridge and his magnet shuffling. After your personal acumen as to whom best to pick? It is also draft relevant for me, (is there a draft specific section?) as I will miss out on the big 3-4 midfielders and am looking at two of the above for my first two picks. Picks 9 & 12 from a ten team league. On a secondary note, is it worth starting a draft feed on here? Noticed things have quietened down a bit from when I was last on here, but still some great opinions from you guys and some inciteful comments. Cheers in advance. The Worms.
Ps. Feel free to add other players you feel may be relevant.

I like Mitchell but he is apparently only 95% with his leg and is being eased into the season with his shoulder. It probably makes it a pass for me. Cripps I like value for dollar so he is in. Kelly I'm avoiding because he will miss 3 games minimum and they're always at the worst time. Trac only has the one elite season, Danger I'm not sold on role and health and Merrett could go either way depending if teams send the tag to him.

Zerrett stands out for reliability/consistency.
All the rest have question marks.   Petracca has proven he is capable we are questioning whether he can sustain the level of performance.  I cannot see why not unless he trained off. 
Cripps is a question mark for me,  was last year just him carrying niggles all year. 
Kelly - no due to missing games each year
Mitchell as a trade not a starter due to preseason disruption and injury
Danger - possible as it is hard to not see him playing more midfield this year

Matt Crouch put up 114 excluding round 1 (so pretty much after the lockout)

once you take out 2 injury game in 2018 and 1 in 2019

has gone

111
105
106
111

dont have him at the moment but seems a nice floor guy to have. No Brad crouch could mean even more ball for him.

Was interested in Crouch until I saw he hasn't been training anywhere near 100% after hip surgery in the off-season
