Priddis

[ndot]

Given the other names out, it'll be pretty much impossible to measure just how much better off our midfield is without Priddis. Shame.

in other words, Priddis is better than all the other mids that we have playing today

That is a very interesting paraphrase, given that it is in no way what I was saying.

Our mids had a fair bit of pace today. Really enjoyed not watching the 20m snap to an opponent and the 50cm handball to someones feet.
Lets start the rebuild around Hutch because he was pretty good today.

Wellingham in the centre was dynamite.

You're kidding me right? We looked as slow as ever. Granted, a lot of it is to do with the fact that GC has many speedy players out there.

Nope not kidding, Wellers run and hutchies in and under made us look faster.

Yeah, he is a cut above the rest of the midfield.

Gold Coast make everyone look slow.

We had our best running side for the year.

Wellingham I thought was great. Clearly still getting into his groove but his field kicking is something we really need.

I think he had two bullet inside 50s within about two minutes...correct me if I'm wrong

This. GC had line breakers all over the park.

No mate you are right! Wellers was brilliant, the run we need!
His kicking is the best of all the mids too.

I tend to agree with our improvement on our speed. It's a shame that Priddis is such a fantastic ball winner, it's just that he is lacking so much in speed and disposal efficiency. Makes for a more complex midfield set up when he should only really be hand-balling it.

[eagles rule]

the midfield certainly looked more flexable without priddis today ,the game by wellers was what I thought he would bring when we traded our 1st rd pick ,he will be a very good player for wce ..

Yep spot on - we looked very slow but we were always going to against the Suns. They are going to be very scary very soon. Impressed with Wellingham - if we could get our full strength midfield on the park next season we'll be right up there.

Give us a full side and replace our worst two mids with sheed and yarran. It can be done over the off season as far as im concerned without too much difficulty. I could really see yarran costing us our second rounder plus smith and i'd be more than happy with that.

Priddis needs to **** off permanently because as far as i see it going forward we can only fit one of scooter, priddis and hutchings into our mid rotation and scooter long term is far and away the best of the 3. Hutchings could play a role as our last mid picked each week but that would be it. Shuey, Masten, Scooter, Wellingham, Yarran, Sheed, Gaff with rucks of Nicnat and Lycett is potentially a very strong midfield.

I'd happily dump sheppard, priddis, dalziell, mcginnity, hams, dick, tunbridge and cripps (happy to give 1-2 more years to see if full development gives an improvement in skills and decision making)off our list at the drop of a hat. You add our retirements over the next two years of selwood, embley, glass, cox and kerr and thats a fair amount of list to turn over. Bring on the next generation of players.

#@&% Yarran.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Why you gotta hate on yaz bro?

 

[dajesmac]

Why did Priddis actually miss? I tuned in a few minutes late.

 

[reimersworstguy]

Tight quad apparently.

Yarran's good, but will cost us quite a bit.
Would rather use a second/third pick on Garlett rather than a first round pick on Yarran, and I don't think we have enough stock to trade to get Yarran without using that first pick.

Likewise, but the way the AFL site and other media has been talking up Garlett this year, I doubt we'll have the luxury of using a second or third rounder on him.

Devil's advocate: he wasn't injured.

 

[footballfreak]

Will be back in the side against essendon unfortunately. Everytime he returns it feels like the team takes a step back and loses a touch of pace.

Well, seeing as our finals hopes are all but gone, I'd like them to continue experimenting with the midfield.

Priddis needs to **** off permanently because as far as i see it going forward we can only fit one of scooter, priddis and hutchings into our mid rotation and scooter long term is far and away the best of the 3.

Nah, Priddis has a redeeming quality that Scooter does not have. He takes clean possession of the ball. Im hopeful that Scooter corrects this then yeah he is the best of the 3. If not, then Scooter is forever doomed to be tagger.
