Which Midfield 3

[Iamshaunhiggins]

Ok, i can just see the outcome of this already, but i wanted to see some opinions on this matter.

if you had to choose 3 midfielders from one team, would you take:
Hawks, Bulldogs, Carlton or Richmond?

 

[eth-dog]

Bulldogs or Hawthorn.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hawks, followed by Dogs.

 

[Rosstickle]

Replace Tuck with Cousins and I'll go for us. Otherwise the Dogs or Hawks.

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

I can't pick, except I'd take Hawthorn's last.

The other three are pretty even, depends how you rate Tuck and Cross.

You would pick the premiership winning teams midfield last

 

[Sttew]

Trick question - you'd pick none of the above, but go with Geelong's. Its streets ahead of the others in terms of star quality, depth, potential, and versatility.

 

[ratten7]

Carltons should be Judd , Stevens and Murphy.

Geelong Supporters
i didnt include geelong on purpose, i wanted to see out of these 4
besides, id take hawthorn over geelong anyway

 

[El_Scorcho]

Carlton's should have Murphy in there, and Richmond's should have Cousins.

I'll go Richmonds in that case, Foley, Cousins and Deledio, pretty terrific.

 

[Aussie Joe]

Richmonds ????? Seriously, take a good long hard look at yourself if you voted this way.

 

[Team Mo']

Bulldog's looks pretty damn good.

 

[Rosstickle]

Good one

 

[El_Scorcho]

Richmonds ????? Seriously, take a good long hard look at yourself if you voted this way.

Deledio and Foley are only getting better, and add one of the best and most consistently performing midfielders in the league over the past 10 years, and you have a dominant, classy and damaging midfield that knows how to find the ball. Scary.

Ofcourse, having a good midfield is as much about depth as it is about the starting 3.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Foley, Tuck and Lids - as if I'd vote differently.

 

[Virgil]

Richmond or Hawthorn for me, followed by the Dogs and then Carlton.

 

[Main Man]

Hodge is our best midfielder so why isnt he included? And don't say he doesnt play there cause he played the majority of season 2008 in the guts, round 17 was when he went to the backline!

This is what most people on BF seem to forget, he played more games in the centre than he did in the backline this year yet everyone thinks he's been playing there since debut or something. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's our best midfielder though, Mitchell and Sewell have him covered but I think he'd have Batemans measure.

 

[HARKER]

Ablett, Bartel and Corey by far.

My order would be:

1:Hodge
2:Sewell
3:Mitch

All guns though.. Hodge becuase he is as good at the clearances better by foot and kicks bags of 3 and 4 when playing in there, Sewell at 2 because i think his performance in 08 was better than that of Mitchell..

 

[ripitup27]

Ablett, Bartel and Corey by far.

Very true. But this isn't about Geelong.

I'd take the Hawks just over the Doggies. Cooney over Mitchell, Bateman over Cross (love him though) and Sewell over Boyd, just.

 

[Silvagnis]

Erm, the group that has Judd...

Judd lifts his teammates to another level and is the "most complete" midfielder in this poll.

And Murphy should be in this poll.

 

[WatWouldCyrilDo]

Judd lifts his teammates to another level and is the "most complete" midfielder in this poll.

Funny stuff.

I think you need to learn proper tenses. The above sentence should be in what is called "past tense"
- Judd liftED his teammates to another level and WAS the "most complete" midfielder in this poll.

The man is a shadow of himself. He would not have been in the top 5 midfielders last season.
