How Good is Our Midfield?

Considering we are second last on hitouts, Dane Swan is playing injured and Didak has been slow to get back to near his best, I think our midfield is outstanding.
 
Swan, Pendelbury, Daisy, Ball, Didak, Sidebottom, Beams, Wellingham, Johnson, - reads pretty well to me. Plus guys like Blair, Krakouer, Buckley, Davis and Macarthy who can play there if needed.

The scary thing for other clubs is that we're going to be around the top for a while. In 4 years time when Swan and Didak are fading or have gone, Sidebottom, Pendlebury, Thomas, Beams, Wellingham and Macarthy - who I'm bullish about - should be at their peaks, so too should our spine. Other clubs shouldn't be worried about how good Gold Coast are going to be in 4 years time. They should be worried about how good the Pies are going to be.
 
Jolly, Swan Pendles

Thomas Ball Wellingham equals the best midfield in the league.

Forward line...

Didak Cloke Beams

Sidebottom Dawes Krakouer equals the best forward line with guys that can rotate with the midfielders strengthaning most departments.

Backline...

O'Brien Reid Davis

Toovey Tarrant Shaw Equals in my opinion the best backline in the league...

This is why we are flag favourites.

I'd much rather have Hawthorns forward line any day of the week, but as for the mids and back line we seem to be ahead of the competition. Don't get me wrong; rotating players like Sidebottom and Beams are amazing and Dawes and Cloke are 2 quality talls, but Franklin in our team would be unstoppable. Pendles, Swan, Thomas and Ball seem like they complement each others roles around the stoppages perfectly. When Didak hits his straps again and Jolly returns, we are going to be scary good.

The only player from the Hawks forward line I would take is Franklin.

Sidebottom Dawes Beams

Krakouer Franklin Didak

That would be the best forward line... possibly stevie j in there instead of sidebottom who should be playing a wing...

Wow Dawes over Cloke and no Cyril that's different....
 
I am an accountant. What an idiot haha!

dont get me started :D

a fit ball is clearly showing all the class & consistency he displayed in the mid 2000's - add that to the running bull swan, the magician pendles, the classiest workaholic thomas, then another 6 we can rotate thru the mids, combine that with the solid defence and most dangerous & accountable forward line and, well, to put it simply, the season is ours to decide who wins and loses.

in many ways its a relief we lost to geelong when we did as theres no longer any issue of having the perfect season. we can simply chase what is important.

good times.
