The only line of debate that hasn't been discussed on this thread yet is how the midfield would function without Priddis. He would have to get injured and ruled out fore a four week sample space to be able to argue the merits of that debate. Every thing else in the debate has been put forward time and time again by both sides. Since reading the thread i have been tilted slightly towards the anti Priddis side.pFFT!

Reading this thread would put anyone on tilt
Correct, and until this happens this speculation will continue. IMHO starting 4 in centre square should be Naitanui, Yeo, Sheuy , Scooter - all capable of taking the ball and getting away. You reckon it'll get trialed in the NAB cup at least?

I completely agree with you about the starting 4 in the square. Maybe in a couple of years i would like Sheed in there and Selwood on the bench. The best time to trial a midfield without Priddis is the NAB Cup. There is no reason to play Priddis in the NAB Cup because we all know what to expect from him and it would be nice to see something different.
Nah - its been done.

In the past 2/4 seasons Priddis has rarely been out fore a long period of time. He would have to miss 4/6 games in a row to have a serious look at how the midfield would be without him. Any debating on this subject has only been speculative not factual. Since he became a regular the least amount of games he has played in a season is 18 in 2008 and from 2009 to 2014 he has only missed 8 games. I wouldn't call that an extended time period without Priddis in the midfield. Therefore a midfield without Priddis hasn't been debated factually there is no evidence to suggest the midfield would be better or worse,

Yeah, no doubt Matt being Matt will play every single game of the Nab cup to go along with every single game of the regular season.
I love the way he's selfless enough to see that new players on our list deserve a chance Just 1 game Matt... is that so hard? Take a rest.

Actually he did take a rest during the NAB Cup last year...

Nobody deserves a chance unless they earn it.

Our midfield functioned fine against Gold Coast which had the games best mid in it. I'm sure we'd be ok if Priddis wasn't playing in it. Having said that, Priddus seemed to be being encouraged by the coaching staff to use the ball a bit better by hand and be a bit more evasive as the year went on. His game in Adelaide against Adelaide late in the year was a good example of that. That's just my opinion of course.
