I think Greenwood will need to step up with Rowell out for the season. They will be relying on him a lot. Melbourne have a lot more players taking points in their midfield. Greenwood for me.
I prefer Mitchell for consistency. Cripps has down games in the 70-80 range, Mitchell's are more in the 90-100 range. Cripps probably goes higher more often, but it's his low games that frustrate me.

Yesterday I would have said Mitchell, but I would encourage you to take a look at his yearly averages before locking him in ... they do not make for pretty reading:

This is basically Yeo + 110K v Mitchell with their current prices. Similar BE (98 v 100). Despite Mitchell being down, he is averaging 110, Yeo 83. I would expect that to improve for Yeo, but even so his best yearly average is 107. I would normally lean to Mitchell head to head, but that extra cash is tempting. Going to need that in the next few weeks for upgrade season. So I'll say take a punt on Yeo.
I agree with @Ironhawk. I’d expect Titch to average more, but probably not enough near term to justify the price difference. To me the evidence is also suggesting that Yeo is more likely to improve near term than Titch.
If I was upgrading midfielders I’d be looking at Yeo this week and trying to get a bit more data on Titch (particularly watching disposal count, scoring shots and tackles). One week might be enough if he monsters it, which he has done vs the Pies previously - albeit I don’t really see anything in the numbers season to date to suggest that he will this time.
