Finding The Dream Engine

[D.Zanetti]

  With my whole team locked in baring injury in the last 16 days before the lockout, the only positions that I'm struggling to fill are the 4 Premium Midfielders, arguably the most important position in the team.  So I pose the question, which midfielders will be the best of the best?  I've gathered together a list of the likely guys (IMO) who will be at the top of the list by the end of 2012;

Dane Swan.            28yo, +100 average 5 times out of 9 seasons, highest average 124.3 (2010)
Scott Pendlebury.    24yo, +100 average 2 times out of 6 seasons, highest average 117.5 (2011)
Gary Ablett Jr.         28yo, +100 average 5 times out of 10 seasons, highest average 117 (2009)
Matthew Boyd.        30yo, +100 average 3 times out of 9 seasons, highest average 116 (2011)
Tom Rockliff.           22yo, +100 average 1 time out of 3 seasons, highest average 112 (2011)
Marc Murphy.          25yo, +100 average 2 times out of 6 seasons, highest average 111.8 (2011)
Michael Barlow.       25yo, +100 average 1 time out of 2 seasons, highest average 109.8 (2010)
Jack Redden.          22yo, +100 average 1 time out of 3 seasons, highest average 109 (2011)
Sam Mitchell.           30yo, +100 average 3 times out of 10 seasons, highest average 108.9 (2011)
Joel Selwood.         24yo, +100 average 3 times out of 5 seasons, highest average 108.8 (2011)
Scott Thompson.   29yo, +100 average 2 times out of 11 seasons, highest average 108.8 (2011)
Bryce Gibbs.          23yo, +100 average 2 times out of 5 seasons, highest average 105.9 (2011)

Andrew Swallow.   25yo, +100 average 0 times out of 6 seasons, highest average 99.4 (2011)
Jobe Watson.        27yo, +100 average 0 times out of 9 seasons, highest average 97.8 (2011)
