Best midfield

[RonnieRaven]

Hopefully by the end of the year our midfield should get the kudos it richly deserves.
Darcy
Serong
Ab
Young

Jackson Fyfe Johnson back ups
If we were an east side team the media jizz fest would be huge!
Thoughts??

 

[EastcoastDocker]

Lacks a burst midfielder and a proven goal kicking mid (tho young showing promise in that area).

Defensively and at clearances it's very good

 

[Footskill]

Nah needs Fyfe starting not backup. They hit the panic button in 3rd quarter when they kicked three goals and started winning clearances. Was giving me flashbacks from last year

 

[sumavich]

Reckon us and Bombers two clearance specialists on the way up.
Big test this Friday.
If we get over them after 5 day break, I'll start to believe

Young is looking like the attacking mid

 

[doppo]

There's a lot of deep potential there for sure - but lets see how they perform against Sydney and some of other top midfields in the comp before we cry foul how underrated they are over east. It was only 2 weeks ago the same midfield got absolutely pantsed by the eagles.

Reputations are forged over consistent performance, and doubly in finals - and we're just not there yet. Until we earn those credentials we can't worry about being ignored or underrated. And we shouldn't care anyway. Jlo's is right in that most of the work is still to come

People starting to cotton on

We’re lacking a mid who bursts forward from stoppages.Warner would be a great fit!

Fyfe?

Brodie is also very good at that. Has been squeezed out, and AFL players need to be two-way runners now.

Fyfe will be gone in a year or so!

A mid(s) who can grow with the likes of young,Serong etc for the next 8-10 years

Johnson? Maybe Simpson? Bit early to tell.

There are more pressing needs.

Johnson’s game on the weekend showed how stacked we are for pure inside mids, we do really lack some outside polish though.

 

[FreoGirl]

we managed to beat arguably the best midfield in the AFL..
