Anyone else gone gun shy on their mid-pricers coming into the weekend?
I've zigged and zagged and left a Nick Daicos sized gap in my team for next week or in R3 when I likely turf one of them out

Looks good. At that price, not sure he's going to be a must trade in. Probably will be a bit more of a luxury for teams with the cash to upgrade a forward rookie, or even some teams looking to downgrade a Bruhn/Flanders/Hopper type.
I bailed on him as I wanted to spend his ~70K for my Round 1 team in the end. He will put up a nice 85+ game at some stage to get the cash generation going. Unless it's next week, I think it'll be hard to prioritise him.

Bit of a slow start for our midpricers. Hopper's general meh-ness and Bruhn's fade out were a bit concerning. But it was round one so a) the score is in the rotation for 1 round and b) you can't judge a season on round 1 (those mortgaging the house for Daios/Rioli take note)
Just remember that we spent 332k on Hopper and 311k on Bruhn for a total of 643k. For our troubles we received 125 points. It's far from a disaster.
Our option, in isolation, was a 123k rookie maybe and a 520k 'premium'. On field. Now the 520 k premium wouldn't have averaged 100 last year, judging by his price so assume that again and that leaves as little as 50 or so for the 123k rookie. Not ideal. Not worth getting too worked up over.
What we got out of these 2 midpricers was just a bog standard result. Yes, we want more so that they can get their cash generation moving but they have a week up their sleeve to sort that out. Plenty worse things will happen this year. Just ask Stewart holders

And if you said that to people last season when Sicily and Sinclair went bang and people continued to fade them I'd be pissed. There are players I agree that would be first round wonders that nobody ever considered and I'd agree, but there's also a time to jump on value when it presents. I agree don't tear teams apart but I'm also pretty confident that most if not all of us will have players that aren't as good as a selection as we may have thought so I don't mind an early trade or 9.
