Who are the top 10 midfielders in the league?

[LukeParkerno1]

Seb Ross criminally underrated. Been far more consistent than Bont, Ablett, Sloane and Fyfe this season.

Absolutely agree. Smoky for AA. Easily make the squad

 

[TerryWallet]

1. Selwood
2. Dangerfield
3. Martin
4. Kennedy
5. Pendlebury
6. Bontempelli
7. Shiel
8. Fyfe
9. Cripps
10. Heeney

* Picked with past performance in mind but who i would want in my side this year and next if all fit.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

For a mid, he averages about 20 possies a game this year. Those ratings reflect his one good year, last season. Has had a shocker this year.

Disagree on him having a shocker. He's been held to ridiculously high standards. Still has had a decent season but his year has typified the Dogs season.

1 Dangerfield
2 Martin
3 JPK
4 Selwood
5 Ablett
6 Bontempelli
7 Pendlebury
8 Shiel
9 Kelly
10 Merrett

Agree that about 2 years is a good measure, Fyfe would be in the top couple of he could show he was capable of getting back to his best.

 

[Superstar swan]

There will be a massive change of guard soon. Default selections like pendles, selwood, sloane etc will be replaced by default selections like heeney ,cripps, bont etc

7. Dayne Zorko (Brisbane)
8. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
9. Rory Sloane (Adelaide)

Same 10 for me, order looks pretty solid too.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Giblet

6. Zorko
7. Beams
8. Merrett
9. Neale
10. Ross

*this season

If you're purely taking 2017 and consistency then you swap Ross with Murphy.

But we're not. We're talking simply the best midfielders in the comp and neither would be in top 10

 

[Woobla Stainz]

1. Patrick Dangerfield

4. Gary Ablett
5. Adam Treloar
6. Dayne Zorko

[citizen-erased]

considering their entire careers
1-Ablett
2-Mitchell
3-Dangerfield
4-Pendlebury
5-Kennedy
6-Selwood
7-Goddard
8-Sloane
9-Zorko
10-Merrett

 

[AG]

1-Ablett
2-Mitchell
3-Dangerfield
4-Pendlebury
5-Kennedy
6-Selwood
7-Goddard
8-Sloane

10-Merrett

How are the last three in the list if it's entire careers?

 

[The King!]

Tom mitchell is moving on up this year

I really rate merrett at essendon

Dangerfield is overrated imo, but think im alone there

If it is entire careers Ablett is first by the length of bass strait

9. Tom Mitchell (Hawthorn)
10. Zach Merrett (Essendon)

Based on which player I'd want in my team this September. Obviously too many unlucky to mention.

Also Pendlebury should at least be in everyone's top 5, if not top 3, regardless of criteria.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

1. Danger
2. Fyfe
3. Sloane
4. Kennedy
5. Pendles

9. Kelly
10. Martin

 

[JT_the_Man]

Was about to say Bont should be nowhere near it, but if including last years form than I guess there is a case for him.

That said, I'll rate it almost exactly as OP says - emphasis on this years form, but with previous years form/consistency taken into consideration.

1. Patrick Dangerfield (Geelong)
