Straight forward poll. Which trio would you prefer as your on ball unit?
 
Brisbane is gonna have a scary midfield this year with

C: Redden Beams Zorko
Foll: Leunburger Rockliff Rich

The rest of Mids:

Christensen
Aish
Mayes
Hanley
Adcock
Taylor
Robinson
Martin

That is one deadly midfield attack! They have excellent mid depth now.

Hard to say when Brisbanes trio haven't even played together yet. Tbh I would include Brad Crouch instead of Thompson and you'll see why at the end of next year.

Yes I agree but how can you say Dangerfield < Beams?
Yeah look Beams is a very good player, probably elite, but not better than Dangerfield.

Jacobs > Martin
Dangerfield > Beams
Sloane > Redden
Rockliff > S.Thompson
Hanley = B.Smith
B.Crouch > Zorko
Rich > Douglas

Brisbanes depth drops away a little here. Mayes, Aish, Taylor are all still developing players. Adelaide on the other hand have van Berlo and Mackay (not great players but established).

Beams is without a doubt elite. I presume you rate Sloane as an elite player and Beams has him covered IMO.

You've clearly chosen to forget our other A-Graders such as Christensen and Zorko. Aish, Taylor, Mayes, Robertson and Lester are all coming through and looking quite promising. IMO Adelaide's depth doesn't come close to the same quality as Brisbane's.

If you bothered to read my post I did include Zorko. Christenson you're correct, I forgot him. But for the time being he's a good player, not great. Like VB. It's good to be a promising player, but the three you mentioned aren't at the level of Mackay quite yet. M.Crouch, Kerridge are just as good as Taylor, Mayes and Aish if we're including them.

Sorry my bad.

M.Crouch IMO is on the same level in terms of potential to Aish and Taylor, but not Mayes. He doesn't have as many runs on the board but I wouldn't worry about him getting there. Rising star in 2015 IMO, kid is very good. Kerridge on the other hand isn't at the same level as Aish, Taylor and Mayes. IMO he is closer to Lester and Bewick's level.

In terms of potential IMO Brisbane's midfield has a higher potential.

Back to the topic.

If you compare the players from best to worst Brisbane are comfortable winners.

Beams < Danger
Rockliff > Sloane
Redden > Thompson

Redden is quite underrated around here. He quietly goes about his business and gets his 25-30 touches a game and accumulates 5-10 tackles. Very good inside mid.
 
I'd take Beams ahead of Dangerfield, but right at the minute I'd take the Adelaide trio ahead of the Brisbane trio.

Brad Crouch is immensely talented, you could swap him in and Thompson out and Adelaide look better going forward.
 
It's pretty arbitrary when comparing only 3 mids from each midfield group. Every team becomes comparable

Eg. Sydney and gws

Griffen>Jack
Kennedy>ward
Parker=trealor

I think the adelaide trio are better. But the talent in brisbanes entire midfield group is better

I'm confused. Are you talking about potential of Redden better than Thompson or are you going on what they've done the last couple of years? Thommo has been underrated a lot throughout his career.
