here we go with that "other players worse mantra" again
please
Here we go again, you reading and acknowledging what you want 
So I put it back to you
Who would you flick out of these 5 and you can only flick 1 of the 5
Hampson, Chaplin, Grigg, Edwards S, Houli?
hmm hampson and chaplin are badly needed for structure and depth in those positions. they may be poor but there is no other options atm.and unless we go out and get mature replacements for them it will take time to draft and develop players to replace em. we should be looking for replacements though.
the other 3 thats a tough one.
based on overall performance its edwards, both grigg and houli have regularly given more despite their weaknesses. as mids i believe all 3 can easily be replaced and none are crucial.all three have glaring weaknesses in their games. they are your typical glass half fulls. edwards has it over the other two as far as being a fwd goes. but hes a poor mans fwd. id prefer to play jake king as a sml fwd or give lloyd a decent go. we have to do better than all three.
houli plays down back and we have better options imo. sheesh conca vlastuin, dea, morris.
grigg kills the other two for ruun and spread and and finding the ball, he imo is the better mid of the three but lacks in crucial areas. i think hes been the most consistent of the 3 but has always lacked in the defensive side of the game.
would it really matter which one we cut all three need to go over the next few yrs. the fact it takes so long to weed players like these blokes out is part of the problem.
for me the scary thing with our mids is there are only 4 who have performed to a decent level on a consistent basis yr in yr out just 4. grigg and edwards exacerbate this problem. edwards while he may pop up and play the odd good game the norm for him is below standard.
