This group has undoubtedly have stepped up to the plate this season, lead by our Captain, Jobe. They have proven their many critics wrong and can now match it with the best in the competition. This got me wondering, how would you rank them this season? Going through the names, we have a lot blokes that can go through the midfield, plus with a few gems waiting in the wings. On performance this season, i'd rank them as follows

Watson
Stanton
Zaha
Howlett
Heppell (could argue he's not exactly a midfielder just yet)
Hocking
Lonergan
Melksham
Dyson
Myers

That's without including Colyer, Monfries and of course the injured Prismall and Winders.
What was considered unworthy of recognition last season, has quickly become and will become a bigger force to be reckoned with.

1. Watson - Obvious
2. Stanton - League-best form, tapered recently
3. Howlett - Better than consistent clearance and tackle machine
4. Myers - Limited midfield time, sexy left foot, fair amount of clearances
5. Zaka - Solid, without being consistently damaging
6. Hocking - Lacking creativity and attacking play of previous seasons, solid
7. Lonergan - Great grunt
8. Melksham - Captain cameo

Zaka over Myers, but otherwise this.

Wow big footy have short memories. For Zaka to be lower then 3rd is crazy.
It's Bigfooty logic.

Myers Has played 1.5 good games in the midfield yet he is above guys like Hocking and Lonergan who have been solid contributors all year.
