What is the BEST possible Midfield this year?

joey is a very interesting choice elephants.i am not even considering him this year.
however i`ll agree with mitchell but i`m very bias as i have him in my team.

elephants · May 12, 2011, 10:49:05 PM

Backing him to really turn it around :)

LF · May 12, 2011, 10:51:50 PM

geez he will need a massive turn around.
i personally think nick d is being the quiet achiever for the saints this year.but i won`t rate him top 5 this year.

Selwood is in there without a shadow of doubt!

Y wouldnt he be?

I reckon Swan, Pendlebury, Boyd, Watson, Selwood & then throw a blacket over about 7 others

Only drama is that is what most teams mids are gonna be like by seasons end

1. Swan
2. Pendlebury
3. Boyd
4. Jelwood
5. Mundy
6. Bartel

Maybe Watson infront of Bartel but who would take a GF bye..? I wouldn't trade him in because of that, anyway.

With someone with a history of his scoring for > 400k. He is too hard to ignore when he begins to fire. Other considerations are Marc Murphy ? In fact yeah maybe Marc.

I say Swan, Pendles, Boyd, Watson (don't like the bye, but is leading this year), Priddis, Goodes. <<Smith, Jacobs, S.Buckley or Hibberd >>

That way you also have links to the backs and forwards.

Andrew · May 12, 2011, 11:01:24 PM

No way Priddis is top 6... top 10 maybe but looks unlikely to me.

agree priddis good but not good enough.

ShaynoB · May 12, 2011, 11:07:41 PM

If Priddis is in there why not put Embley? Hes averaging more... Sorry ;D

LF · May 12, 2011, 11:08:59 PM

embley is having a great year but i still would not consider him just based on the past couple of years.

my midfield at full strength atm is

Swan, Boyd, Montagna, Selwood, Gibbs + Swallow <Liberatore, Conca + Krakouer>

it's getting there! ahah

Gibbs is such a backman!!!

theswiz · May 12, 2011, 11:27:40 PM

yeah none of the eagles are top 6 for me sorry!
mundy is definitely the smoky but will he continue this form? I have barely heard of him before this insane start to the season!

oh and I'm going for overall so watson looks like a must get... i'll just save 1 trade for grand final!!!

Grazz · May 12, 2011, 11:46:16 PM

Swan , Pendle's , Boyd , Mundy , Mitchell , NDS.
Ive left out J Selwood, Watson and Murphy only due to these players missing in the our Finals
otherwise Sellwood and Watson would be in and NDS and Mitchell omited. I think if you can finish the
season with the above midfield you would be going ok.

theswiz · May 12, 2011, 11:49:36 PM

Grazz, I was asking in general, from a tactics point of view maybe not but only watson is the real issue... who cares about a bye in the finals except for the grand final... to have the best players it's inevitable...
