These classy ball user midfielders you talk of, put some names up.I called them workhorses.. and there is definately a position for a couple of workhorse types in any team and in any AA team/squad..
Sloane and Mcrouch are workhorse type midfielders.. not elite, classy ball users..
I wouldnt put either of sloane or matt in the same category of midfielder as a Bontempelli, Martin, Kelly, Selwood, Gray etc etc type mid.. guys that you know when they get the ball just seem to have all the time and space in the world and 9 times out of 10 make the right decision and dispose of the ball just about perfectly.
sloane, Mcrouch, keays, laird just simply arent elite mids with classy disposal.. and I’m certainly not writing them off.. like I said, they are more the workhorse type and we definately need the workhorse type.. we just dont need all four of them. We need two of them and we need to mix and match them with a couple of elite classy types.
