Savage for his upside
Zerrett for his ability to stay on the park. Think Selwood might average slightly more but good chance Merrett plays every game to end of season and ability to get a 108-110 guy for 500k with injury affected price rather than just poor form is gold
Edit: selwood has played a lot more games the last few seasons than i thought having had 18-22-20-22-22 and i from memory thought merrett hadnt missed a game the last two season which was wrong too. Toss a coin haha.......Sorry

Personally I'd pick from the first two. JPK has always been underrated in my view, and one of my favoured M6-8 type options for years, but I'm just not sure he's up to scoring consistently at premium level any more. The Swans may have too many mids.
I would also avoid Bont due to unfavourable or uncertain role. I started him this year and cut him before round three, because he didn't look like playing consistent midfield time, which can be a disaster when you're looking for elite mid scoring. He has had some good scores since, but I haven't regretted cutting him because, rightly or wrongly, I'm pretty confident they won't happen frequently enough to hurt me.
Zerrett I think has been affected by tags as well as concussion. The concussion is arguably what has made him cheap, and is hopefully non recurring, so that's positive as a trade in target. The tags are an issue though, we've seen what happens when coaches get a sniff that anolayer can't handle a tag. I would probably err on him over Neale, but without a lot of confidence.
