hawks midfield vs richmond midfield

[hawks_time]

i know it sounds hard to believe but i actually believe that with the addition of cousins, the tiges midfield is suddenly looking better.

cousins>mitchell
deledio>sewell
foley>lewis
tuck<bateman
cotchin=young

but i do admit hawthorn's forward line is better.

Deledio > Sewell? Maybe in a few years but not yet.

Wow this poll is much closer than I expected.

Hawks by a mile. Far too hard at it.

How could anybody vote for Richmond?

Hawks have Hodge, Mitchell, Sewell, Bateman, Lewis as their best 5.

Tiges have Deledio, Foley, Cousins, Tuck, and either Cotchin or Johnson.

Honestly can't split them. If Cousins has a poor year then probably the hawks but I expect Deledio and Cotchin to have better years next year so not sure.

you can't be serious

Cousins has not played in the middle since 2005, Foley is easily tagged out of a game, Cotchin has not arrived yet, Deledio spends just as much time up forward while Johnson's best days were playing for Adelaide

hahaha that is the worst dribble ive heard come out of a richmond supporter in my life

cousins>mitchell what exactly can u base that on cousins didn't play this year and mitchell improved by a mile since cousins last played

Foley won't get tagged next year, so his inability to break the tag isn't that important.

And as for the Deledio comment, why don't you actually watch him play. He plays the majority of every game on the ball. Some games he might rest forward or go down there if we're struggling for goals but don't go saying he spends just as much time forward. He plays a couple of NAB cup games down there and all of a sudden he's not good enough to play in the middle and is a useless half forward flanker.

FWIW I'm leaning slightly towards Hawks now but don't go posting c__p about Deledio.

Hawks

runs on the board

Sewell is nearly a 9 in my book. Massively underrated.

Mitchell is still the best in close.

Id say our backline is our midfeild anyway. The drive we get from Ladson, Hodge (phhwoar), Birchall and Guerra and Dew sets up our whole plan.

Oh and Premiership Midefield > Richmond's ffs, just for the sake of the poll. please.
