Midfield depth a focus for Tigers

Thu 08 Nov, 2012
Richmond expects midfield depth will play a crucial role in team success in the 2013 season, as it did for this year’s premier, Sydney.
The Tigers already have the nucleus of a strong midfield, but have been working on creating depth to allow for sustained effort over four quarters.

I don't think Edwards will play in the middle again, currently looks like:
Cotchin
Deledio
Tuck
Martin
Foley
Grigg
Knights
Conca
Helbig
Ellis
Pick #9 if a midfielder
Hackson

imo we need 4 to 6 genuine mids to round out this area. working from a purely numbers point of view and ignoring quality and the fact in my opinion there are some who should go.
based on the premise a side will take into a game somewhere between 8 and 11 genuine mids into a game depending on the adaptability of players ie a flanker who can spend a little time in midfield ie possibly nahas or a genuine mid who can play as a flanker ie dustin martin.
imo 16 genuine mids is a minimum.
i seperated the genuine mids from the primarily specialist flankers. i also put players into age categories ie junior = 18 to 21. development = 22 to 24. mature 25 to 27 and vets 28 plus i tend to just lump the vets and mature players together.

almost half of our genuine mids are juniors and that will probably blow out even further after the nd.
hmm might start up a list management thread instead of carrying on.. do we have a list management thread.

Cotchin
Deledio
Tuck
Martin
Foley
Griggs (as outside mid only)
Conca
***knights
***Pick 9
Not sure Helbig is going to be a mid, he looks like he's being groomed as a HBF
-
We are 3 or 4 mids short, then you have to hope that one of helbig/arnott can step up longish term as well as a couple from this years draft. Question marks on Foley as well
-
4 mids without 4 picks in the draft pls.
Use the other drafts to top up the ruck stocks.
