Selwood vs Barlow

Selwood or Barlow? Selwood is more experienced, Barlow is cheaper, Selwood is proven, I'm leaning towards Selwood. (It's between these two as they share the bye)

If you think Barlow will average 105+, he is an excellent 6th mid, if not, go Selwood, as you would have to upgrade Barlow by season's end

Get both. I have both. Wouldn't want to choose.

I'm not sure about everyone else. My bye strategy is to win as many, ie most, games between round 1 and the bye. Thus the 'bye strategy' becomes academic by round 13. If you're on top and 2 games clear then, meh, to the bye strategy.

I dont think too many people getting barlow will be nervous about him making money, but I think most will be thinking he is going to be an undervalued keeper.

If this choice is for your 4th mid, then go Barlow, upgrade one of your rookies to selwood later in the season

6th mid?! I have 4 super-premiums atm, and two rookies. I tend to spread around the money :-X

Joel Selwood. Underpriced I think

stew42 · February 03, 2012, 11:23:06 AM

I meant sixth mid by seasons end!!! When you've upgraded all your cash cows!

Justin Bieber · February 03, 2012, 01:48:36 PM

I have both so I'm not sure, but I did not realise they share the bye? But I would go Barlow if that's the case.

Artax · February 03, 2012, 01:58:53 PM

Have them both & also share a bye with Pendles....now I'm nervous

owenbond007 · February 03, 2012, 02:02:33 PM

Im thinking barlow will be a good cash cow and probably a perfect time to trade him would be R12.

Artax · February 03, 2012, 02:06:00 PM

Yeah thinking thats the week he turns into Boyd!

Justin Bieber · February 03, 2012, 02:07:35 PM

Are you serious? Barlow, Selwood and Pendlebury share byes? God I need to know that bye strategy.
