Is this midfield to strong

Swan Ablett Selwood Barlow Hayes Shiel

I feel i have to pick Hayes and Barlow because i see so much value and IMO they will both average 100+

Justin Bieber · February 05, 2012, 10:11:53 PM

Super strong.

Very good but I wouldn't pick Hayes...

My midfield is...

Swan, Gazz, Murphy, Rockliff, Barlow, Shiel

Pricey? Yes. Dominant? Yes. Will it change? Maybe.

If you pick Barlow and Hayes then you are picking them as premiums. To be honest I think this midfield won't be strong enough later in the season. They could both average 100+, but if neither are in the top ten scorers you could be left behind.

but are you missing out on some gun midfield rookies?
Yes

I think it would be better to invest more money in positions where the rookies aren't as strong.

Yes

but is that compensated by the plethora of points (and captain options) I have each week?
Yes.

Barlow goes against my guns and rookies policy and hayes goes against my youth policy so sorry it isnt too strong

Capper · February 05, 2012, 11:07:14 PM

Swan, Selwood and Barlow all have the bye in R12

if you have Swan,Selwood and barlow you are picking barlow not as a premium unless you want to cop a donut.

I dont think its too strong, if you can cover your other lines. For me to afford it i have avoided some of the more expensive players in the other lines for example i have Hmac as my second ruck and robinson as my most expensive forward.

I have an even stronger mid of Swan,Ablett, Gibbs, Selwood, Barlow, Shiel i plan on upgrading shiel and barlow

I would be very surprised if Barlow plays all 22,,snapped his leg in so many places it would be impossible to have no soreness during the season.Have the bones healed ? Wil find out when he gets hammerd.

Ziplock · February 06, 2012, 12:15:39 AM

it's been 18 months.

I would say it would be completely healed. Snapped in two spots right?

that's why Barlow struggled last year because of the repercussions of breaking his leg it was still sore and causing him trouble, but by all reports this preseason he says his leg is feeling great, there's a reason why everybody is jumping on where he is easily capable of averaging 100
