Position 2025 Midfielders

You should frame that

Further to my previous post.
North mids likely to improve include
Sheez, wardlaw, Powell, simpkin, Parker, kerch.
All could take points from ldu.
Way too many variables.
Wait for preseason games.

 

[Flandersss]

My major worry is that he got lots of points the last 5years as we have been shit.
I expect improvement this year which means he shares more points.
Wait for preseason and check his role.

Reckon McKercher plays half back?

Mid at a guess
Fos and Daniel hbf,
Fisher small forward but guesswork at this stage.

What other role could he possibly play? He seems as mid as mid can be.

They have tried him forward before.
It's just with like 5 or 6 guys expected to improve they will have to get the points from somewhere.
It's really common when teams turn from shit to moderately decent the 110 average mids drop back a bit.
I reckon he's a dangerous pick.

I can see what your doing .
Keeping him for yourself.

Was assuming I’d be taking piggy but reports he’s carrying weight have scared me off big time

A. Player wants out and the team holds him to his ranson.

It’s not a promising scenario for a productive SC year

If they had of traded him .
Different story.

piggy one of the best at his peak.
Bit sad what happened.

 

[marcmurphy3]

The thing with piggy is he doesnt need to get back to his prime. If he can go 110 at his prixe youd be pretty happy.

Its not just his own issue but Trac clearly has issues with the club and maybe some others as well?

Just get the feeling Dees are gonna sh** out an ordinary year this year

What's piggy best AVG ...say 130.
Even @ 110 he needs to be at 85 plus % fit , fit mind too.

If he does a whole preseason, it's hard to imagine he can't get >85% fit. Last year really was a disaster for him.

It's hard to know what's going on with him.

But looking from a far .
Had his problems.
Had he's worst year ever on the field.
Wanted a trade.
But was held when he wanted to jump.

See what happens...

Not sure how relevant this is, but:

Dons mid builds after hip surgery, talls backed off due to niggles

Jye Caldwell is expected to be fit to play in Essendon's pre-season games in February

[VainGlorious]

What do people need to see from Petracca and Oliver to pick them?

Tracs a PS watch but I’m keen at his price.

Clarry we can wait (weight) on.

 

[Chronz]

Sucker me once .....Sucker me twice ..... oh I couldn't, what's a 3-peat LDU offender get ?

You just know if you don't start him he'll be a top 3 player at the bye and if you do, he'll have injury issues and knock out sub 80's. It's a lose/lose situation. I'm hesitant after being burned the last two seasons as well.

I like him as a player.

But he's coming of he's best ever year.
Means priced at his max price ever.
Prob no DPP.

Would of been (look down) if traded to cats.... .

110 would be great for piggy but if he continues the shit from last year those 60-90 scores ruin your season, I’ll start others before him most likely and if he’s back to premium I’ll bring him in first. Killed my season last year so will wait and see

I don’t reckon 85% fit = 85% of his best year scores

As an ALF midfielder you’d be a long way off the pace at 85% – enough to turn a top level player into a substandard one

Plus at 85% fit he’d be more injury prone

110 average would be great at his price but if he’s unhappy and out of shape he might not hit 100
