      Not happy to take -4 for a player like Bowen whose expected points aren't high enough. But sometimes these things have never right timing and postponing the imminent hit does a lot of damage.

    Those arguing for going Bowen over Mount, what's the reasoning there?

        The difficulty is that we are allowed to have only 5 mids.
