Even Berry starting to show some good signs that he can be that reliable inside midMidfield’s fine, we need to draft one with our top pick this year but otherwise we’ve got some core talent already on the list (Dawson, Soligo, Taylor, Rankine, hopefully Curtin)
I would've agree about the midfield before the emergence of Soligo and Rankine this year to compliment Dawson and M.Crouch, we need another forward (Welsh) as Walker will soon retire but the biggest concern is ROB (has been better since his recall). I don't see an elite small forward as a need as Rankine will be there when resting forward (he has proven to have a very big tank) and then we have Rachele but need another powerful midfielder if it isn't Pedlar, maybe Curtin.Midfield is in huge trouble. Need an elite small forward and ruck. Some of the kids are okay. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves please.
Might have somethong tp do with him not being asked to play with obvious niggles....i.e. calf and foot.Reckon Butts is quietly putting together a really solid season. His bodywork and attack on the footy is a step up on previous years.

I reckon that idea would warrant close consideration by all parties. Definitely wouldn’t dismiss it out of hand.Geez, you’d swap Rash for NWM in a heartbeat wouldn’t you?
He’s been this way most of the season, quite comfortably having a breakout yearDefinitely one of his very best games and noticeably he actually stuck some tackles which rounded out his game nicely. No problems keeping him if was consistently close to that level and not a defensive liability one on one.
How many "elite" players do you want in the midfield??? Dawson, Rankine and Soligo will be a quality midfield group compared to others in the competition.Dowling will be an okay player. Lacks elite traits though. Average disposal and is no better than Berry.
Agree we can prob carry one hard at it/honest player like Dowling. But no moreHow many "elite" players do you want in the midfield??? Dawson, Rankine and Soligo will be a quality midfield group compared to others in the competition.
Na, just get a coach who can develop rash and he'll be fine.Geez, you’d swap Rash for NWM in a heartbeat wouldn’t you?
Dowling will be an okay player. Lacks elite traits though. Average disposal and is no better than Berry.
I'm not a fan of his style but that's a matter of personal taste. I reply only to ask if any of the commentators were actually at AO tonight? Roo sounded like he was there, Ruby was definitely boundary rider, but the other two I'm not convinced were calling from the oval.Good: Adam Papalia commentating tonight, doesn’t do many non WA games, one of the best in the business
No current season stats available
I'm genuinely impressed how the club has kept Dowling and Taylor out the team.Great for TT.
Why the hell was Taylor playing twos all year?
Lyon is a joke.
Hopefully hear more of him next season if Fox calling all games.Good: Adam Papalia commentating tonight, doesn’t do many non WA games, one of the best in the business
No doubt but a lot of that is that a lot of them have played very few games. Dawson rankine crouch soligo taylor dowling all look good. Add a top mid this year and keep giving them games. Curtin could be the best of all of them tooLook at the midfields that win flags. Ours is so far off the talent of a premiership midfield it’s not even funny.
Midfield is in huge trouble. Need an elite small forward and ruck. Some of the kids are okay. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves please.
We are calling for them to be consistent - even if they get it wrong, make the same call for both sides. But that really was just ridiculous!Bad and ugly: stupid umpiring decisions when it came to those balls that went out of bounds so close to the line. Insufficient intent? Give me a break. No feel for the game.
