Personally I dont think Akermanis is in the same class as the other 5 guys mentioned so Eagles just win out. Eagles midfield is better then Brisbanes ever was. Because of one man. Dean Cox

Cousins ,Judd and Kerr are awesome but not in the same league as Voss,Black & Akermanis. IMO the lions had the greatest midfield ever when you include Lappin,Power etc.

Judd and Kerr still haven't hit 25 yet, room for improvement. When you include Stenglien, Braun, Embley, and the ruckmen Cox and Seaby, it's damn impressive. I would say equal to Aka, Black and Voss.

Voss/Black/Aker easily. But Lappin and Power should be in that list.
Just like Stenglien & Embley should be in the Judd/Kerr/Cousins Group.

Charman baby!
I know cox is still just a step above Charman, but I still think Charman can hold himself against the gaint man!
I believe they were referring to Cox's athleticism, allowing him to play almost a midfield role around the ground.

Jamie can't do that.

Charman wasn't playing his best football when Voss and Akermanis were so it's pointless to include him.

If you were doing that, you could create a midfield who played for the one team over a matter of eras which would be better than both Brisbane's from 00-04 and West Coast's from 05-07+.

In terms of the comparison, Cox makes the WCE midfield such a dominant force. But Crackers Keating did what was needed in the Brisbane midfield. The 3 on 3 comparison is very hard to judge. I can't say i've seen a better 5 than the Fab 5 of Voss, Akermanis, Black, Lappin, and Power. I'm biased of course - we all are. But West Coast don't have another 2 midfielders that could challenge Power and Lappin.

And I agree that Lappin was better than Akermanis, but for that idiot that suggested Aker wasn't in the same class as the others - clueless. Maybe consider more than 2 matches when making your decision. Akermanis was the biggest match-winner of the lot, Judd included.

Firstly, The Question was " If they were all In Their Prime, Who would you pick?". So that Means Charman can be included.

Secondly, The Eagle supporters can argue that Stenglien & Embley are just as Good as Lappin & Power (IMO they are not!).

But I agree with the rest of what you are saying.

Firstly, it says which 3 would you pick. Charman or Cox isn't mentioned.

And Cox is actually playing with this current midfield. Charman wasn't anywhere near his best when he was playing with Voss, Aker and Black when they were dominating.

If we win the next 2 premierships then WCE's midfield.

ATM it is Brisbane with their noses in front.

Judd > Voss
Kerr > Aker
Cousins = Black
Stenglein < Lappin
Cox > Anyone from brissie at their peak
Braun = Power
Embley = ?


If the Eagles had Jono Brown and Bradshaw and Alasdair Lynch in our team along with our midfield, there would be no stopping us.

Go back to the 2001, 2002 season and West Coast constantly smashed Brisbane at the Gabba thanks to our midfield. :thumbsu:

Voss > Judd (Judd is more talented but Voss' leadership qualities put him ahead).
Aker > Kerr (Aker has won more matches off his own boot, won a Brownlow and been instrumental in Grand Final victories).
Black < Cousins (I think Cuz just because the sight of him vomiting on the boundary from running himself into borderline exhaustion each quarter lifts players.


And id pick Cox over anyone during the season, but for mine id take the September specialist Keating during the finals :D .
