Top 5 Midfielders for '09

Featured Replies

Posted

McLean, Moloney, Jones, Dunn & Green.

I'd also run Buckley and Sylvia through there and Grimes if possible.

Anyone else got other candidates?

 

Petterd

 

Don't be surprised if Davey gets placed into that list. I must admit that i was very sceptical about him becoming a midfielder as i felt we needed someone always at the fall of the ball in the forward line, but with Aussie coming to the club and showing some talent we could make Davey a midfielder that goes forward on occasion.

For me: McLean, Jones, Davey, Moloney, Green

Pettard

Who?


If we look at the best midfield combination for our starting 18 it has to be Mclean, Jones, Davey, Green and Dunn. Good balance to hard nuts, two outside midfielders with pace(Davey) and both with great disposal and a stopping player in Dunn. Hopefully the next 5 can improve to supply the support Sylvia, Morton, Bartram, Moloney and Buckey.

I would say Petterd wont be ready to play an important role in the midfield til 2010.

I think we will see him on a half back flank or across the wing next season. Its important we dont rush him into significant roles.

 

Add a kid mamed Strauss from Oakleigh Chargers he missed State selection only by injury I am told he is Quality and if we pick him up he will play next season also Grimes can play there along with Petterd

McLean, Moloney, Jones, Dunn & Green.

Mclean, Grimes, Morton, Primsall, Dunn


Mclean, Grimes, Morton, Primsall, Dunn

You can forget about Prismall.

My best 5:

McLean, Dunn, McDonald, Bate, Jones.

Not alot of change....

2010:

McLean, Dunn, Grimes, Jones, Morton.

McLean, Jones, Dunn, Davey & Bruce.

Haven't seen enough of Morton, Buckley, CJ, Valenti & Grimes to make a call as to their midfield capabilities, we need at leat a couple of them to step up soon though. Bruce will be on his last legs as midfielder, I cannot see an ongoing role for Moloney as the game gets faster and its likely Macca will not play on, if he does it will be in a more limited defensive role as per this year.

Developing or obtaining a top shelf mid with pace should be a massive priority - that midfield is OK, its pretty obvious what it is missing though - a champion.

Bate is an interesting choice. I dont doubt he could do the job with good effect but I think without an awesome KPF, we need his sure hands across half forward.

I think he will play half forward/midfield but I can't see him as a KPF under Bailey's plans. Bails may prove me wrong.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
