Need some ideas as to who might be the highest scoring mid back combo for this weekend to trade in this week.
My current mids and backs

Backs
Goddard,Gibbs,Shaw,Enright,Butler,Cannon,Heppell(to be traded),Wilson

Mids
Swan,Pendles,Jelwood,Barlow,Ablett,Beams,Sidey,S.Mitchell,Stanton(being traded out),B.Kennedy

BGK

Good luck LF.

I personally would take a punt on Ellis or Harry O in the backs.

In the mids I'm thinking of taking a risk on the super cheap Masten. He may not go big but I think you can count on a ton.

LF

Thanks BGK
I do like the look of Masten just very worrying with his injuries he has had this season.

Been there with Ellis not going there again
But Harry is under serious consideration could be a great pod

I can't say I blame you with Ellis. He has so much potential but has the ability to let you down.

Mid selection this week I'm finding difficult.

Montagna- Crowley?
Griffen- McKenzie?
Scooter- Tagging always worry me?
Boyd- Injury?
Libba- Young and inconsistent

I've been able to question every mid option this week. I'd perhaps take the mid who is the least unique to your opponent.

Adamant

I reckon Scotland (if he's named obviously) and Boyd.

Scotland is in ripping form and should be good for 80+ at least (with the potential to go big) while I feel like Boyd will go bang, even though his history against Melbourne is quite average.

Same here Tags,Griffen are out for me due to your reasons
Boyd worries me with his injuries this year but yes could go bang
Scooter hasn't really been tagging this year he has been more running with his opponent than tagging them which is why his scoring has been more consistent this year
I almost traded Libber in last week but went back to my choice of Sidey instead

Yeah he is but team 2 has him which I suppose would negate him as would getting Hanley back in
I haven't really decided whether to negate him or try to get pod's in to win that way

PK

The only defenders i would consider are Mackie, and Harry O

Mids: S.Selwood, Griffen, Montagna, S.Thompson, Cornes, Jack.

Yeah Makie is the back I traded in after lockout he has been in good form the last few weeks
Jack I had him at one stage and traded him after a couple of crap scores missed his couple of good scores but also missed some more of his shower scores and him limping off on the weekend is not encouraging

Mackie does look like a good option

Has he been rested yet anyone know?

Hasn't been rested played every game this year.
his record at Simonds this year has been great.makes him an even better/safer pick.

Adamant

Mackie has played every game, so nope.

What about Danny Stanley? 106 & 109 in his last two, pretty consistent usually.

LF

Hadn't considered Stanley since I was going to start the year with him but he didn't play
