Opinion In 4 years time which side will have the best 5 established mids?

[Adzam]

1) Gold Coast
2) Western Bulldogs
3) GWS
I think bulldogs just scrape in above GWS. Some really exciting prospects.

 

[eth-dog]

Ours would probably be Heppell, Zaharakis, Melksham, Z Merrett, J Merrett. Best would be GC

I'd replace Melksham and J. Merrett with Myers and Gleeson.

Overlooked Myers, knew I was missing someone. Gleeson hasn't shown as much as either Melksham or Merrett

I've got no doubt Gleeson will be better than Merrett. Not sure how Melksham will end up.

 

[Rainfall]

st kilda would be up there by then? I rekon they would be where gold coast are now.

 

[Rainfall]

Remember Port are still really young.

1. Gold Coast
2. Port Adelaide
3. Western Bulldogs
4. GWS

Remember Hawthorn champs with 2 premierships and Geelong ones with 3 should all be gone by then with really exciting young prospects aswell

Scary thought that Boak will be 30 in 5 years. D:

Boak - Ebert - Hartlett - Polec - Wines

I think our midfielders will still be among their with others. Got to say Gold Coast will have the best.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Hawks

Shiels, breust, Langford, insert your pick of the rest

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I can only tell in 3 years, or maybe 5 years .... 10 years even ... but 4 years ... just too hard.

 

[The King!]

By the time we finish with the academy sydney

 

[mike123]

Collingwood

Scott Pendlebury, Dayne Beams, Steele Sidebottom, Taylor Adams, Nathan Freeman

Broomhead would be the sixth midfielder

 

[The19thMan]

Crows would be

Dangerfield, Sloane, Crouch, Smith, Other Crouch

First 4 will be elite but the 5th one is too hard to pick.

 

[iBeng]

If we hold onto Aish we would have:

Rockliff, Redden, Rich, Mayes, Aish, 2014 Possible mid pick, Beams, Taylor, Zorko, Hanley, Crisp, Lester

Thats not including 2015 drafts and beyound. The 3 Rs will all be 27-29 by then and in their prime.

 

[Determinant]

Giants first 5 will probably be Ward, Whitfield, Kelly, Treloar, Shiel/WHE/Scully/Williams/Barrett/Whiley
2nd 5 will probably be close to elite also.

Greene is better than all bolded

 

[Determinant]

Greene is better than all bolded

He is fantastic for the giants, but his DE I feel will prevent him being elite, the last 3 haven't been on show yet, but will be at least as good..
If we draft no mids, and keep most of ours, we will have at least 8 or 9 elite mids in 4 years, Eddy will want us shut down.

 

[Big Fresh]

Shiel will be better than Greene.

 

[eth-dog]

Shiel will be better than Greene.

That's why Shiel wasn't bolded?

You forgot Gray, White, Wingard, Young, Moore ect. 4yrs Young and Moore should be top starting players.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

With the last few drafts putting a lot of super young mids out most teams are gonna have great midfields. Who will have the best 5 in fours years (gives the young ones time to establish).
Gold Coasts without Ablett still looks amazing with Martin, Omera, Swallow, Prestia and Bennell.
Adelaide will have Dangerfield, Sloane, Matt Crouch, Brad Crouch and Douglas.
Melbourne has got some great mids upcoming in Viney, Tyson, Toumpas, Salem.
Bulldogs going through some greats coming to the end but have some super young guys moving up.

You could have named the dogs ones like you did the others when setting up this discussion
Libba, Wallis, Macrae, Bontempelli, Hrovat, Stringer, Dahlhaus, Smith, Stevens.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Dogs for mine - pick 5 from: Libba, Macrae, Bontempelli, Hrovat, Hunter, Wallis (tagger)

Wallis wont always be a tagger, he will be a ball winner in the mould of Sam Mitchel

 

[slashin_velvet]

Understood, but youve always gotta have offensive and defensive minded mids....I think he seems the type to be a grunt player with a more defensive focus.

Yes, he seems a tagger that finds the ball also because in his juniors he was a find ball player. in the under 18's he apparently racked up 47 touches in a game
