Not deliberately starting an arguement here, but i'd toss Freo up as an example.
They have one of the better midfields in the AFL and yet they are hilariously lacking in KP stock, both forward and back.
Because they have continuously drafted mids with their recent picks, they are totally screwed going forward and have been forced to try selling their team to power forwards who go on the market, like Cloke, Clarke and Franklin.
IMO balance is what's best. We've been lacking any power and skill in our vanilla midfield for too long so 'technically' my preference would be to address that first with some X factor. However, i wouldn't cry if Wright slid and we picked him up. Mids have less value then a gun tall.
Good "balanced

" summary.
Regarding adding pace and X-Factor to our midfield haven't we been working toward doing that?
Additions over the past 3 years:
Yeo, Wellingham, Cripps, Newman and Karpany are all quick and do have good skills, we just haven't seen much collective and consistent results as they didn't get on the park much in 2014.
Adding Ellis is another ex pick 3 midfielder who is flexible enough to play anywhere. Shuey definitely has pace and impact around the ball.
On top of this we have those not so flashy mids who do the grunt work in Priddis, Gaff, Masten, S Selwood, Rosa, Sheppard, Sheed, Colledge, Waterman
That's 16 mids on the list before the draft not counting others.
