You didn't put Redden in Brisbane's mid. He is probably the 3rd midfielder who is selected in our midfield.

Yeah, it was a toss up between him and Hanley
Also wanted to fit Aish & Christensen in there too.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Might be biased. And I definitely am . I don't think I'm unreasonable though

But ports is a top 5 midfield

Is go:
Hawks
Port
Sydney
Freo
Brisbane

Port definitely beat any other team in speed/movement

Lol - 1 poster over rated your midfield and you tag me into the thread?? If anyone would seriously want your midfield over Ports then their understanding of the game is as putrid as yours.

I put Adelaide in there rather than Port mostly because i rate Sam Jacobs higher than Lobbe. Brodie Smith is AA and Dangerfield & Sloane are unlucky to miss out. However, i do highly rate Gray & Boak, Wines will be a champion one day. Ports midfield fits into their game plan better than Adelaide's, i just simply like Adelaide's list better

Port would be 6th.

C: Travis Varcoe - Taylor Adams - Steel Sidebottom
R: Jarrod Witts - Scott Pendlebury - Levi Greenwood

Edit - Just posting collingwood midfield, dont think they are a top 5 midfield

It appears not everyone on this board is as narrow minded as you. They actually have the ability to form their own opinion.

This starting 6 is all class, buddy:

C: B.Smith, B.Crouch, R.Sloane
R: S.Jacobs, P.Dangerfield, S.Thompson

How is he/she overrating it? Oh that's rights, he's not.

This starting midfield that took your team to 10th!! Or do you blame your forward line or back line for being terrible?

Their defence, other than Talia and Smith, is ridiculously bad. Anyway, for me:

1. Sydney

C: McVeigh - Kennedy - Hannebery
R: Pyke - Jack - Parker

2. Port Adelaide

C: Hartlett - Boak - Polec
R: Ryder - Cornes - Wines

3. Hawthorn

C: Hill - Mitchell - I Smith
R: McEvoy - Lewis - Langford

4. Brisbane:

C: Redden - Rockliff - Rich
R: Martin - Beams - Christenson

5. North Melbourne

C: Wells - Cunnington - Harvey
R: Goldstein - Swallow - Dal Santo

Essendon's starting midfield would probably be:

C: Stanton - Watson - Zaharakis
R: Bellchambers - Heppell - Goddard

 

[MightyDons4]

Fremantle isn't getting much love
C: Hill - Mundy - Pearce
R: Sandilands - Barlow - Fyfe

 

[Milanista28]

Essendon's midfield is extremely 1 paced although we have extreme class in Watson Heppell and Goddard, The importance or Colyer, Zerrett Cooney and then hopefully the emergence of a Gleeson, Laverde or Edwards is tantamount to our flag hopes.

But we are definitely building a great list IMO.

3 named have their best football behind them and will all be 30 next year.

So when your 30 you can't play at an elite level?

 

[Teeko]

Youth is overrated. No reason to think Goddard and Watson wont be playing at a high level for a couple more seasons.
I think you are biased, I could do the same with with North's list. Your best player (arguably) will be 37 next year. Your two best key forwards will be 32/33. From the midfield you lost Greenwood who finished 3rd in your B&F. Dal Santo will be 31 (6th in your b&f). Gibson will be 29 (7th in b&f) Swallow will be 28 (9th after missing many games). Wells is another important player who is almost 30.
Then you have a few important defenders getting on too, but you get the point.

No Dane Swan?

I personally believe GC have the best midfield in the AFL now.

A midfield is more than the sum of its parts. On paper that Adelaide midfield looks as high quality as any in the league but I have never seen them impact a game as a group more than the Port midfield did at times this year. I'd definitely have them top five but given the choice I stick with our mids.

My list would be

1. Hawthorn
C: Hill - Mitchell - I Smith
R: McEvoy - Lewis - Langford

2.Sydney
C: McVeigh - Kennedy - Hannebery
R: Pyke - Jack - Parker

3.Port
C: Polec - Boak - Hartlett
R: Ryder - Cornes - Wines

4.Adelaide
C:R.Sloane - B.Smith - B.Crouch
R:S.Jacobs - P.Dangerfield - S.Thompson

5.Freo
C: Hill - Mundy - Pearce
R: Sandilands - Barlow - Fyfe

I reckon Port has the best midfield now, Ryder just adds that edge to it i think

 

[12Chill]

I'd take Port's midfield ahead of Adelaide's. Adelaide's is pretty solid but Port's better IMO.

Pretty much stating the obvious hahaha

Gold Coast are worth a mention.

Is this just starting 6? Or all the midfielders on the list collectively? (i.e. Depth)

If just starting 6, I'd say you're pretty spot on. With Port and GC rating a mention.
