So we've now got Tigers, Port, Essendon, Crows, Melbourne, Hawks & Geelong making the top 4.

Port, Hawks, Melbourne wont make top 4.

Geelong finished second and second both on equal points the last two seasons........

Add Essendon to that. Their inside mid division is still poor

I'm really not sure about the Dons. I can see them shooting up or falling straight down. I like their additions and it makes them hard to match up against. Going to reserve judgement on them

Just feel they are a year or two off. You know your inside mids are poor when Craig Bird gets games or a cooked Watson was an automatic selection in 2017

Premiership player Craig Bird? I'd be happy if Bird came back to the Swans, just saying

He'd be better than Foote at least I'll give you that.

 

[BloodySwan]

Exactly why I'd take him! Better than some of the kids we've got

 

[Tedeski]

Ahhhhh... Sydney?

No we have Tippett, Foote, Towers, Cunningham, Parker, Longmire & no game plan.

 

[Tuco]

Dangerfield, Ablett, Selwood would have to be one of the best midfield trios of all time.

Pretty handy.

Pretty sure Ablett, Bartel, Selwood in their prime beats Danger, Ablett, Selwood with one of them about to retire though.

 

[swansfan51]

Today's fun fact

Without Ablett, Gold Coast went 0-8

With Ablett, Gold Coast went 6-8

 

[Olian]

Dangerfield, Ablett, Selwood would have to be one of the best midfield trios of all time.

Voss, Black and Akermanis weren’t too poor in their time.

 

[barry fu]

Don't get the Port applause personally.

Whilst Rocky will have Rundle St rocking in his pursuit of pints.
Watts and Mopealot are mostly window dressing.

Imagine if they had a good coach!

 

[Bonz]

Voss, Black and Akermanis weren’t too poor in their time.

They also had Lappin (Who was one of the most underrated players I have ever seen), Hart (Norm Smith Medalist) and Power.

Charman and Keating were good ruckmen as well.

Would have to be the best midfield I have ever seen and likely to ever see (WCE in 05 and 06 second, Judd, Cousins, Kerr, Cox, Embley, Fletcher).

Yeah they still struggled to beat a top 8 team. Will take improvement across the board with a harder draw coming

5 years ago yes.

And yet we were their bogey team then.

The Cats In '07 with Ablett, Selwood, Bartel, Johnson, Kelly, Chapman, Corey, Ling can't be far off the best midfield depth of the 2000s.

Voss, black, lappin, aker, power, hart, mcrae, ashcroft would give it a close run

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Oh... bugger.

Best in my time of following footy.

Geelong have such a lethal team now. They'll definitely make the Grand Final imo (unless injuries happen ofc.).

Have the talent in the middle.

Forward and back lines need some work.

That and putting in effort when it is on the line. Like us

 

[Kennedy Parker]

They added one Gary Ablett Jr and lost Mackie, Lonergan, and Motlop who were all best 22 last year. They haven't addressed any weaknesses this year as the midfield wasn't the problem.
