Not including wingers, this was our centre bounce attendees last season, basically who was playing midfieldThis is totally arbitrary and not really how things work but if ‘midfield time’ adds up to something like 500% between the three on ballers and two wingers I’d say it should look like:
Langdon - 90%
Brayshaw - 80%
Oliver - 75%
Viney - 70%
Harmes - 60%
Petracca - 50%
Rivers - 25%
Jackson - 20%
TMac - 20%
Pickett - 10%
Tomlinson and Salem also able to go in there, with remaining percentage for each player spent either on the bench or in another part of the ground.
I could see Pickett being a bit of a burst player in the middle throughout his career. Not sure that’ll happen much this year.Don't see what Pickett has done to earn midfield time yet... would rather Jayden Hunt or Fritsch on a wing at this stage
Spent a lot of time around stoppages last year. More dangerous by foot there than most in the team even if he only gets it once or twiceDon't see what Pickett has done to earn midfield time yet... would rather Jayden Hunt or Fritsch on a wing at this stage
Nah, hbf is most overrated. Easiest position, run off your man, hang around the pack waiting for a handball and then do whatever offensively. It does make them good to watch though. Wing is important, imagine if we didnt have Langdon.I say bugger making em earn it.
Run hard, kick the ball well.
Get on the wing.
Probably the most overrated position in the AFL
We made a prelim without wingers.Nah, hbf is most overrated. Easiest position, run off your man, hang around the pack waiting for a handball and then do whatever offensively. It does make them good to watch though. Wing is important, imagine if we didnt have Langdon.
Yeah it’s not like playing in the midfield is some kind of prize. Pickett has more skill than most and runs hard enough to make it to midfield contests anyway.I say bugger making em earn it.

Nice to have one tho ...We made a prelim without wingers.
Not that important. There isn't even 10 good wingers in the AFL.
An even him at his best which it was, didn't get us into finals.Nice to have one tho ...

Langdons good but as I said before the start of last year he only gets the ball 20 odd times and kicks it 10-15. He also gets more than half his kicks in the defensive half.
There's still 50-100 kicks being taken by Petracca/Oliver/Brayshaw/Viney/Harmes etc.
If those guys don't learn to use the ball better it doesn't matter if we have Darren Jarman and Aussie Jones flying down the wings.
His biggest asset was he can create an extra man in defence and attack because of how hard he works. Skill wise he's nothing specialLangdon’s biggest impact was his defensive running which helped our back 6 IMO. Have said it a thousand times but as far as scoring chains go half forwards are more important than wingers
Think about every time Langdon was wide open on a wing and was the release kick out of our back 50. If he's not there, the ball's either trapped in our backline or it's a hack kick down the line.An even him at his best which it was, didn't get us into finals.

Lol you make it sound like no other person in our team could stand in space.Think about every time Langdon was wide open on a wing and was the release kick out of our back 50. If he's not there, the ball's either trapped in our backline or it's a hack kick down the line.

Doesn't mean a heap but really happy to see this when traditionally we've been pretty poor with bringing past players back into the fold.
All the little things help. Our media image is really good right now, high promotion of the women's team, regular training updates and then bits and pieces like this and Kobe Farmer going to get a list spot. No drama, no racism report. Only negativity is Brown's knee, but who knows whats happening there. All smiles and rainbows.
