ZeroHanger ranking and describing the midfields ahead of this season

Every AFL teamâs midfield ranked: Part III

We've named our top six midfields ahead of the 2023 season. See who we've ranked No.1ð

www.zerohanger.com

Their rankings

1. Melbourne
2. Brisbane
3. Sydney
4. Carlton
5. Richmond
6. Western Bulldogs
7. - 18. the rest

The Swans
The Swans have an enviable midfield group given the pedigree and age profile of their leading names.

Managing to pull their side to a grand final finish last year, Sydney's mix of star players and young guns is sure to see them back on the big stage in no time.

Co-captains Callum Mills and Luke Parker are the experienced heads in the middle of the field, despite the former only just entering the peak of his career.

The duo will continue to lead the charge under John Longmire, but will continue to find exceptional support from their younger ranks.

2022 saw Chad Warner explode onto the scene, with his movement through packs and ability to break lines a welcomed asset for Longmire's system last season.

Early signs of 2023 show Academy graduate Errol Gulden could follow a similar path this season after enjoying a stellar opening two years at AFL level.

Then there's James Rowbottom, another under-23 talent that would likely be seen as a top midfielder at several other clubs. The swift and skilful onballer could reach the heights both Warner and Gulden are seen likely to strike this year as he enters his fifth campaign with the Bloods.

Dylan Stephens has begun to find some strong form at senior level, particularly during Sydney's finals campaign last year. Likely to slot onto a wing, he and Justin McInerney add more excitement and youth to Longmire's midfield depth chart.

The Swans' ruck plans will be one to watch this season, with former Port Adelaide tall Peter Ladhams sure to have his sights on the No.1 spot amid Tom Hickey's absence due to injury.

Hickey has been a revelation for the Swans across the past two seasons since moving from West Coast, but could find minutes harder to come by in 2023 should Ladhams make a strong case to be Longmire's first-string ruck selection.

I don't think our midfield is top 4 yet but it will be by the end of the year. That group has the biggest upside of our best 22 and already doing well.

No real stuff yet. People need content. Settle down. We will get to the real stuff soon.

 

[dosser]

To be fair it’s easier for the parole officers to keep a track of the Pies members if they sit in the same spot.

True. They are usually shackled to those seats anyway.

out for North with a stress fracture in the foot. They can ill afford to lose him.

He must have to play a lot at Carlton this season

I wouldn't mind him

That is one of the best threads in BF

St Kilda in Finals form already. Impressive.

The race for the spoon is heating up!

 

[Kapers]

The Lyon incident is so gross, and to hear stuff like that coming from the head of the club is laughable.

Can't believe he's coaching again tbh

West Coast don’t like this.

 

[bedford]

Rumour has it that a Swans player last week on the ground said to Tom De Konning that be great to see you in red and white next year , an 8 year contract

This is a coach who paid hush-money to a woman who made corroborated allegations of sexual harassment against him.

So I think St Kilda stopped caring about their image when they signed him again.

'Again' being the key word there, because he was previously their coach until he walked out on the club at the eleventh hour.

No shame.

I heard that Tim Watson said today that St Kilda will make the 8 this year. St Kilda are a joke. That is being kind.
They should not be in the competition. They are so incompetent. The drafting of that overrated winger from Fremantle a few years ago, on big money, with a new coach, summed it up for me. They are a club craving short term success at any cost. They should have kept going to the draft and they would not be in the pathetic position they are today.
Tim Watson must be on Essendon leftover supplements to say St Kilda will make the 8. I would back Adelaide in over St Kilda.
I feel sorry for St Kilda supporters.

Adelaide are a far better bet to make the 8 than Faints. The Saints Bombers match was one of the worst ever. Followed closely by the, Freo v Port match. Crikey all those sides looked kilometres off the pace.

I don't

I don't

I actually thought about you when I wrote that last line. Sounds sad. But true.
Back to St Kilda............enough said. Not a threat to a puppy yet to weaned.

 

[Donza]

Looks good!.

 

[bedford]

How good is it that this can happen , over 1 million to fix and payed for by promoters , same happening in Adelaide and Perth

Gives an indication of how much they made from the concert.
