When i talk about Midfields i generally include ruckmen. In that case i would have to say Fremantles midfield is the worst. Sandilands improving and wins 40 hit outs a game...problem is 30 of his hitouts go to the other team. Swan, Didak, Pendles, Burns, Davis, Thomas is not worthy of being in this poll...however they are brought down by Josh Fraser who is a cheese ruckman.

It has to be Carlton on this weekends performance. They got their pants pulled down by an extremely inexperienced Bomber midfield so you would have to question the heart and courage of the Carlton midfield.

The Carlton pea hearts for mine.:thumbsu:
 
Possibly Richmond.

Foley, Cotchin + Deledio are the best trio of young midfielders in the AFL 22 and under.

With Cogs close to his real comeback, Tambling, White, etc then depth players like Tuck and Johnson breaking the packs I'd say our midfield is... at least 9th :D
 
LOL Parrot :D

Whys Collingwood one of the options?

Essendon the worst, Freo close behind.

Just a bad day at the office (and an average ruck division).

Thats all ive been hearing Bazza. A bit of pressure will bring down any midfield. I think ours is coming along nicely but is too early to rate them like you guys rate your own. Isnt the ruck division part of the middle? Its badly letting you down.
 
McVeigh is our best midfiielder by a street. S/b
Inside- Jobe Watson
Outside- Stanton
Both- McVeigh

We are still competing with Freo for last spot but Reimers, Myers, Houli and esp Lonergan have all shown a bit in there so we can always hope.
tbh mate i was close to rating McVeigh as one of the best mids in the comp (top 10ish) before he got injured, such was his form. But he has been back for a few games now and i havent even heard his name called, and i have watched a few essendon games!

After watching the Pies "midfield" last night V North in the 2nd half, the Pies must surely be close to having the weakest midfield in the AFL now. Burns, O'Bree, Swan are your classic workman-like Collingwood footballer without any class or talent. Rotating opportunistic forwards like Didak and Thomas through the midfield, doesn't make them automatically "midfielders" - both have no idea how to play that role. Pendlebury is the most outside outside "midfielder" I have seen over the past 5 years, and always fades when the game is on the line e.g. last night. The Pies desperately need some true quality midfielders. Trading away their first round pick last year for a 3rd string Brisbane ruck was a huge mistake. The Pies also had 2, top-10 superdraft picks, and somehow managed to avoid getting a quality midfielder. :)

You obviously didn't watch our last two games because he was easily BOG in Freo game and top 5 in the Brisbane game.
