Well aware at how the AFL class contested possessions.
Now let me ask you this do you consider the following players as outside midfielders?
Ablett
Kennedy(Sydney)
Dangerfield
Ward
Priddis
J.Selwood
Libba
Boyd
Wines
Cotchin
Ablett is a freak however I'm not sure inside mid is the right term. He has had to play different at the Suns that what he did at the Cats. Even so the Suns like to set up so he is on the end of the play coming out of the congestion not necessarily stuck underneath it all. Dangerfield is the same.
Cotchin hasn't been much of anything of late however at his best a few seasons ago he was a bit of both like Ablett and Dangerfield. Those three get contested ball like old mate in question however I wouldn't just say that are inside mids.
As for Kennedy he is kind of the same but not as.gppd skills. His pack work is great and also a decent grab.
The others I would label as more inside mids than anything. They set up the chain out of the pack and are not used as much in the chain to fund space on the outside.
I will concede that calling Fyfe an outside mid might look like I consider him to be Grigg like in his approach. That is not the case. However Fremantle still work to give him space in the pack like the Suns do with Ablett and Richmond used to with Cotchin.
I don't class Fyfe as I would Libba Ward etc.
