If you watch Fyfe's u18 champs highlights you'd be forgiven for thinking he was a spud that wasn't draftable.I was thinking about posting his name as well, but unsure how to call a player an big inside mid. Those brute inside mids are very hard to judge. If someone watched Fyfe as a junior, you would have been laughed at if you called him a big inside midfielder.
Rivers is super smart and listening to the coaching staff, he is playing in the back half to develop his defensive game and I really love it.
Can you tell us anything else about Rivers?
Speed, agility, leap. Scope to play which positions. Work ethic. Anything football or non football related.

The fascination with "inside bull" I find baffling. It is not enough to simply to big, you have to actually be good. So when you say you want a Cripps style player, what you are really saying is "I want one of the best players in the game". Well no ****.
Would you rather Ellis-Yolman or Dayne Zorko?
Me personally, I like really good players. I don't care how big they are.

IMO you need a mix of styles and sizes in your team to be successful, you can't have a midfield consisting of all Zorko types or all Cripps types. A couple of dominant inside players a couple of outside runners would be a great start.The fascination with "inside bull" I find baffling.

I agree, and it tends to happen naturally anyway (except maybe at the Bombers who love sub 180 mids).IMO you need a mix of styles and sizes in your team to be successful, you can't have a midfield consisting of all Zorko types or all Cripps types.

A good 4 for me to base a midfield around would be Patrick Cripps, Lachie Neale, Lachie Whitfield and Josh Kelly...... throw Dayne Zorko in there as well.
Fyfe, Mundy, Blakely all currently in our side and I think would be regarded as "Bulls". They are not all that rare, and most teams have them. What is hard to find is A grade players.Pendlebury v Ellis-Yolman
I mean certainly the Dangerfield, Fyfe, Cripps... style player is certainly wonderful to have, but they're bloody hard to find. Just give me a player that knows how to find the ball and even better if they have a higher percentage of their possessions gained by their own means.

The rare commodity is A-grade footballers, not inside Bulls. Most sides have a few in their 22.Dropping names like Fyfe and Mundy and saying that they are not rare, I find interesting.
Blakely has not really achieved a heap of midfield minute but I do have high hopes as well. I also think Cerra has the ability to play midfield minutes as well.
Just my guess, I believe quite a few Lions fans were bemoaning the fact that with Jarrod Berry out injured, we didn't have a mid who could tag Patrick Cripps in our loss to Carlton.It is always interesting what is defined as a big bodied inside mid? Would someone like Pendlebury be okay in that role? Do you want someone to get their hands on the ball or purely you want a brute?
Devon Robertson
Brodie Kemp - Doubt he will drift far enough
Thomson Dow - He might be around the mark
Dylan Stephens - Might not be a bull, but certainly can find a contested ball .
What did you think of Will Day from SA.briztoon, left winged concept, but Ruscoe is growing on me as a long term inside midfielder that like Berry can play across the back half.

Haven’t watched any games as I’ve been at work, my weekend starts tomorrow.
Haha don't think we will be trading Sier. If we trade Sier and keep Greenwood and Wills there will be riots.Hi Pie 4 Life , IMO we need another big bodied inside midfielder or 2 whether by draft or trade, in your opinion is there likely to be a big bodied inside midfielder available at our 1st pick this draft (15-18 selection) that would be an upgrade on Ely Smith.
Also it would come in handy if the Pies could trade us Brayden Sier in the off season, you have any interest in Tom Cutler?
Click the link in the post above yours and scroll to the bottom.Hey P4L, sorry if you've already talked about him, but what can you tell me about Elijah Taylor?
Cheers, didn't see the "names to watch" sectionClick the link in the post above yours and scroll to the bottom.
Yeah he's on the radar for mine. Could push into the top 20 with consistency, clearly has great talent and I know Cal went with him in his rankings today. I think I'll be just keeping an eye on him because on talent I can certainly see that, and he's thereabouts 25-35 for mine at the moment.Hey P4L, sorry if you've already talked about him, but what can you tell me about Elijah Taylor?
do you think cal is a bit hard on smaller players because he doesn't have oneill in his top 25! and he went back to back all aus and you have him at 8 also trent binaco and sharpYeah he's on the radar for mine.
