Ranking our Midfield

[RW]

Mcveigh is the most overrated player on our list

As you said he's a good solid player who didn't have his best year last year. Having said that I think he'll turn it around, he did win the best and fairest in 2013 coming off a pretty good 2012.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Is it the midfielders disposal or the game plan meaning they take low percantage bomb kicks

I doubt Longmire instructs them to kick to a 2 on 1 or even in some cases 3 on 1.

Maybe swamp McGlynn and McVeigh but yeah, pretty much this

McVeigh is better as a half-back flank. McGlynn is much better in the midfield in my opinion.

Last year McGlynn had more goals, tackles, clearances and inside 50s despite playing 19 games to McVeigh's 25.

 

[Membling]

Really, really want McVeigh off HBF. Can point and direct his teammates to open space.

 

[Superstar swan]

Mcveigh cops a fair bit on here but he probably our most reliable player by foot besides jetta and our best set shot for goal in the team.

No class by foot what so ever most of them , Macca and Lloyd the best 2 by foot.

Heeney is class

No fixing that mate its been like that for years.

Heeney is class

Agree

Kennedy is a good shot for goal normally

Hanners is occasionally classy but then other times is arguably the worst by foot

Most of the time our mids grab it and bomb it around like you do in the backyard

Was nice to see Hanners kick a goal in the NAB instead of always spraying to the left. Maybe the goal posts have been moved.

Jetta is a very good field kick (long or short) but not always accurate shooting on goal off a long run. Loved seeing him kicking out and hitting targets despite the conditions. Can kick long off a step.

Pyke was always a good set shot but 2014 didn't seem as good (from memory).

Lloyd's a nice user.

Mitchell's disposal needs work (which is a shame since he knows how & where to find the ball alright) but playing inside puts a lot more pressure on.

Cunningham was always a good set shot.

Jack can kick the impossible shots but can miss from straight out.

Kennedy probably most consistent. Always reasonably good by foot but never wonderful and never poor.

 

[Syd]

McVeigh is better as a half-back flank.

Really, really want McVeigh off HBF.

I'm more of the opinion he's best suited to be our outside midfielder due to better distribution of the ball.
Jetta likewise as opposed to defense as he well, sucks at the defensive side of the game.

Hate to see Rohan wasted down back rather than up forward, but might be better on balance down there Macca\Jetta.

Pyke was always a good set shot but 2014 didn't seem as good (from memory).

Much less time forward last year, hence less opportunities to kick a goal.
