Martin v Shuey v Hartlett v Ziebell (version 2.0)

[Matera92]

Love how when Martin played more forward people said he's super damaging but doesn't get enough of it / run out games. Now averages 30+ and isn't damaging enough

If Martin was playing for a decent team I think he'd win a brownlow, unfortunately I don't think Dimma has a clue how to structure a midfield properly.

If Martin played for Adelaide this year I think he'd seriously be rivalling Danger (more than he is). His penetrating 50-60m field kicking would suit their forward line to a tee.

Came close in a not-so-good team.

Yup, imagine with a decent setup he'd be talked about like Danger.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Martin
Shuey
Ziebell
Hartlett

^this
Not only shuey is statistically good but he has been by far the best eagles mid so far. Ziebell meh.

Ziebell had his best game on the weekend, he was quiet in round 2 after copping a hit in the ribs and had 31 in rd1. He's going ok.

But ziebell's "ok" is still below par for a player of his experience and draft rank.

Cost north the game v Geelong with that terrible kick to Hansen. Marcus Adams would have been proud

That was an awful kick, don't remind me. Hes played 150 games and is now captain. Reckon he's more then justified being taken at pick 9.

You wouldn't look to get rid of him and would be reasonably happy with how he's turned out, but he wouldn't be top 10 from his draft.

I think Ziebell suffers from the bigfooty opinion that top 10 picks are either guns or duds, with no in between. Coaches don't view it like that. Sure, Ziebell isn't a star midfielder, but he is good for North, is obviously rated for his leadership and he has a crack every week. He's in their best 22. I don't think he has to finish his career with AAs and B&Fs to have been a good pick for North. If you get 200+ games out of a midfielder with a top 10 pick, and he's a good contributer for most of them and becomes a captain, I don't think clubs would be complaining about that.

Shuey overrated af just pads up his stats with useless possessions

2017 so far. Shuey on left - Ziebell on right

Not only does Shuey get more, he uses it better.

 

[juss]

Martin has been a class above these other guys his whole career. Now he is several classes above. Should remove him from the poll.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Ziebell is a terrible user of the ball. Just Kills north time and time again. In game just gone he had one effective disposal in his first 7.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Zeibell absolutely butchered the ball all game.

Never even made sense to throw him in with 3 2008 draft mids.

 

[Donkey Chop]

Say what you want about Ziebells kicking but I think we'd all agree he's got the best bump out of the 4.

Hartlett IMO is the odd one out in this poll.
