Midfield cover

[Big Mac]

Bringing in mid cover this week and not sure which way to go. I can bring in Hartlett who should be good for a 100 (averaging 98 unsubbed) if required and allows me to grab JPK. Or I could bring in Mitchell which means I have to get one of Sloane/Libba. Bringing in Mitchell means I have cover for my 8 mids, plus the 4 mid/def dpp players in the backline. However, he is still coming back from injury and may only average 80s for the next few weeks. And obviously creates the issue of getting Sloane/Libba instead of JPK. Thoughts? Will need to field whoever I pick up this week. I should also mention that Bews is currently my only back cover.

If low on trades and cover I think you may be better off with the cover. That being said I would avoid Mitchell. Any chance you can stretch the budget and pick up Hanley or similar? Otherwise I'd go reluctantly with Burgoyne instead.

Can't really stretch the budget unfortunately. Even if I could I already have Swallow, Bartel, Mcveigh and Hanley so best option with dpp would only be Hodge. Not really much of an upgrade on Mitchell/Burgoyne.

Could also go Grimes with Frawley going back causing a slight role change - Anyone have any thoughts?

Don't mind this option, and JPK is probably worth the extra points, unless you have to use Grimes a few times and he doesn't give you the 80 odd that makes it ok. I like this option more.
