I don't think think anyone should be throwing their hands up in the air about Round 8 mids. Griffen, Barlow, Montag, Watson and Rocky are all great options. I currently have three Round 8's but I have a feeling it will be two when the season actually starts, that will be more based on my opinion about the particular players rather than their bye.

I only have Beams and JMartin.... Others represent more value with an easier fixture. My biggest one is picking SSelwood over GAJ just for his opening fixture.

It will be the 3 for me. Standard, GAJ, Pendles and Beams will start for me.

Beams isn't a lock. He'll average 101. He won't be in the top midfielders and you can make more money elsewhere so he isn't a great cash cow either.

Gaz, Pendles and Cotch

is that the sole purpose of DT though?

I'm starting with players that I know won't be in the top few of their positions (ie Murphy)
but he'll make consistent 95s (or more) and be a good stepping stone to a premo (when the likes of Swan/SJ/Pendles/Gaj inevitably drop in price)
it's better for team balance, meaning I can put more money into a ruck combo (ie Longer at R3 as backup to Sandi) rather than 2 basement rooks (Currie and Thurlow)

Im starting with 3: Swan, Beams, Cotchin
I can't seem to look past both beams and cotchin and then need to lock in a captain choice for the 3rd which will either be Gaz Pendles or Swan.

Tough one.
I would say that Beams is a lock.
Then I reckon you need at least 1 (2 would be nice) of Swan/Ablett/Pendlebury.
And I quite like the look of Cotchin who is priced 20ppg under Swan.

If you went 4 to start, you would want all your rookies to be from rd 9 or 10 though come the byes.
