I dont get the love for Melbourne and Collingwood's midfield's, over ours.
Melbourne, as a lot of talent, but Jones is still clearly there best, with Viney not far behind. Petracca hasn't been as impacting as people thought (Billings is a more skilled player) and Brayshaw has second year blues (Seb's counterpart?). Vince is just hot and cold, Oliver is not the better of Acres, and the rest I can even name. We have these boys covered in my opinion, Armo is the equal of Jones, but who is there Steven? And then there is there one trick forward line... Melbourne are always being put ahead of us by the fairytale side of the AFL. Two more drafts/trade and we have a finals list, these boys still don't tackle, they still don't have any backbone, and they still loose to our midfield everytime...
And Collingwood: were are they? Do they know? Trelour and... Their seriously looking at Jong as a best 22, we are (amongst ourselves) talking about him as depth. No first rounder this year, our Midfield is on the improve and will have at least one (more likely two) other skill players for next year. Collingwood will get players back from injury, but Pendles is almost gone, Swan is dead in the water, and there midfield was towel up by ours earlier this year, when they had far less injuries and we were missing three players on the bench.
I just dont get the love for the lists of these clubs. There Defensive and Offensive stocks are low, and like the Bulldogs, they struggle to kick scores sometimes. There midfields have lots of talent, but so does ours... In fact, I think ours is as good, and we have better discipline and we are just, well... tougher!
