Who has the best midfield? We rank every club

AFL.com.au
2 January 2017

It's said more and more often nowadays that games are won in the midfield. Here's how AFL.com.au rates your team in this critical part of the ground.

1. GWS
2. Bulldogs
3. Sydney
4. Collingwood
5. Fremantle
6. Geelong
7. Melbourne
8. Adelaide
9. West Coast
10. St Kilda
11. Hawthorn
12. Port Adelaide
13. Essendon
14. North Melbourne

15. RICHMOND

B: Kamdyn McIntosh, Alex Rance, Dylan Grimes
HB: Bachar Houli, David Astbury, Nick Vlastuin
C: Shaun Grigg, Dustin Martin, Brandon Ellis
HF: Josh Caddy, Jack Riewoldt, Shane Edwards
F: Daniel Rioli, Ben Griffiths, Sam Lloyd
Foll: Shaun Hampson, Trent Cotchin, Dion Prestia
I/C: Anthony Miles, Corey Ellis, Connor Menadue, Jayden Short

Depth

Midfield: Reece Conca, Kane Lambert, Toby Nankervis, Jack Graham, Taylor Hunt, Ivan Maric, Jacob Townsend, Ivan Soldo
Forwards: Ben Lennon, Shai Bolton, Daniel Butler, Mabior Chol, Callum Moore, Tyson Stengle
Defenders: Jake Batchelor, Oleg Markov, Steven Morris, Nathan Broad, Nathan Drummond, Todd Elton, Ryan Garthwaite, Jason Castagna

The off-season arrivals of Dion Prestia and Josh Caddy have been widely lauded, but a substantial question mark remains over the overall depth of the Tigers' midfield. Yes, Dustin Martin is a game changer when he steps into the centre square, but many believe he plays his best footy forward of centre. Trent Cotchin is a good accumulator of the footy, but he needs more support from Anthony Miles et al. The club's ruck stocks don't inspire a lot of confidence, although the Tigers hope Toby Nankervis can step up and claim the No.1 ruck spot. Nor does the club's midfield depth, which is poor.


16. Gold Coast
17. Carlton
18. Brisbane

On question number three its a bit of a mixed bag. Take a look around this forum for instance.

 You get alot of measured honest opinions and then you get tripe like:-

- we had a bad year because Houli missed too many games (lead turnover player in the competition).
- player X played a horrific game and should never play another game (when he wasnt playing at all)
- hampson may be terrible but he should be celebrated because hes the best we have got.
- if you havent played at the highest level, you shouldnt criticise the players, only praise them.

Just a procession of absolute claptrap but hey at least its entertaining.

As long as he trains well and does his jobs the fools who accept mediocrity will praise him

Big 2017 coming up. 

Cotchin with his posthumous Brownlow, Prestia with his wooden leg and same game time as Chris Yarran, all the usual Dimmerbots and no Lids or ruckman (lol)

Hardwick has got no hope. Lol. What's he gonna do - come up with another game plan that leaves the squad pondering due to its total lack of depth and a grade talent?

Won't take long for the PEGGY rot to set in
