Am i right in concluding we have not added a single talented, skilful midfielder since Murphy, Gibbs & Judd in 05/06/07?
With respect to the likes of Curnow and Bell, i love that they've developed into hard, bullocking players, but im talking about the silky skilled, poised, line-breaker types. Lucas was drafted as one but hasn't come on. I know we have the likes of Yarran and Menzel but they are not midfielders (for now at least) and Cripps is a first year player who is more of an inside mid (which is fine). Also i guess Daisy will play midfield next year if/when his ankle gets better as he has mostly been floating around HB/HF this year.
But yeah, pretty sad that we basically haven't had any of these types of midfielders come through for the team via the draft since 06.
Anyone know if Menzel, Yarran or Docherty played midfield as juniors? If we could add those 3 to the midfield rotation, that would certainly give it a boost in the skill area.
