Agree with Ironhawk, in that it is a tricky one. Might depend what trade in plans you have.

If you are just looking for a mid then Serong

But are you targeting Gawn in the future with the idea he might go R/F? Then if you have Cogs fwd you could move him to the mids to get a rookie off field.

Macrae vs Serong.

Macrae the best value of the proven mids right now, factoring in BEs.

Serong the up and comer - although I also already have LDU and Tom Green playing that role in ****ty teams.

Sturt vs Cincotta this week.
Sturt, been burnt going early too often.
Macrae vs Serong.

Macrae is the safe pick, but I get the feeling Serong will end up the better scorer.

Day v Ziebell v Weller
Cheers
I started Day and it's a bit disappointing, but also good that everyone wants to jump on now, as it means he is in good form. Possibly biased, but he'd be my pick of the three.
I'd probably lean towards Ziebell. Not convinced of the Day hype yet. Think Ziebell has more chance of being a top 6-10 in either Def or FWD than Day does.

Stewart vs Walsh vs Serong vs Cogs

Honestly these 4 are all very close,
Cogs makes it up there as i reckon he will be top 10 fwds easy,
Serong the X factor but doing well as he seemingly has taken Brayshaws spot,
Walsh.... look its Sam Walsh do i need to say more
Stewart, i feel he's in the same boat as Cogs but will be more consistent AND proven scorer

I feel this is the cheapest we will see all of these players all season (except Walsh maybe, not sure on his BE, well tbh i dont know any of their BEs)

Stewart 98
Walsh 117
Serong 66
Cogs 49

They should all be traded in as keepers, so BE is not as important. I can't argue any as a bad pick.

Pick the line you need a player in the most and go that way.

As I always pick one option (for if I ever end up working out how many I picked the best option in), I'll say Walsh, but really, all seem good choices.

Ryan v Sinclair v Sicily v Day

Ryan probably the lock for top 6?
The other 3 probably fill spots somewhere between 5-15? Sinclair with Steele back seems a decent option. Sicily feels like the old safe option that feels like he should be too 6. Day is the risk - feel like everyone has grabbed him. And he is much cheaper but his best score was against north and take that out his average is very poor.
