I rate him but Fyfe wins out for mine.
Finally over that leg injury judging by the freedom he was playing with in IR. Was jumping all over blokes.
125+ imminent

Yes Neale .....still possible, but it would mean 3 Freo players in my midfield, which is hard to have
The last time Gaz averaged under 114 in a season was in 2006...that's farked. Granted he hasn't played over 20 games since 2013 but still
2006 being his debut year as well. 140 average in 2009 is absurd

It's the by average that is concerning with added Jelwood, Danger, Duncan, Meningococcal.

Wow... the GOATs yearly averages are insane!
Is that enough to entice anyone? Can't see that average dropping at Geelong.
Edit: one slight downside is you most likely will never be able to VC him with Danger in your team (which will hurt when he inevitably scores that 200)

Hard to argue with the averages but many will be scared off by the number of games played. Great point regarding the VC

How can people be aware of Gary Ablett's near guaranteed 114 weekly average, but also believe that Danger can go 130+? Then you've got the Selwood and Menenenenegola crews.
There's only so many points to go around

I reckon Danger's average goes down slightly and probably ends up similar to Gaz (120-125)

Number of games is certainly worrying, but I do query whether GC put him on ice early because they knew he was leaving.
Currently tossing up between Gaz, Sloane & Neale for my final midfield spot. It was previously occupied by Cripps, but not convinced he will be a top 10 mid come years end.
GaJ: massive ceiling, will probably average the most but play the least games.
Sloane: 6/9 games to open season are played at Adelaide oval. If he gets the confidence to break the tag could go mental and a good pod. Think Adel will come out firing as well after the disappointment in the GF.
Neale: Mr consistent.
Disclaimer: other mids are Danger, Dusty, Titch, Kelly & Fyfe.

During Ablett's career at Geelong first time around (2006 - 2010):How can people be aware of Gary Ablett's near guaranteed 114 weekly average, but also believe that Danger can go 130+? Then you've got the Selwood and Menenenenegola crews.
There's only so many points to go around
Ablett:
Bartel:
Selwood:
I'm sure players like Enright, Kelly, Joel Corey etc. did well during that period as well.
No reason history can't repeat itself.
Pretty solid mids there.
Big fan of Sloane's early form, plus he's in his prime as an athlete. Whether he gets tagged and how the midfield works with Gibbs in the side will be a wait and see job, and some of the Crows boys on here would have more idea than I do.
I also have Neale and would prefer him to Fyfe. I don't know how much Fyfe will score when he plays forward plus he's had a few injuries over the years. Neale is a full time mid, racks up a lot of ball, bit more durable and consistent like you said.
Would also rather Cripps ahead of Kelly - cheaper for similar (if not higher) output, bit more experienced and a better history of scoring. He's a contested pig which suits the scoring system. No one apart from Murphy to take the points in the Blues' midfield.
Choosing the top 10 mids is a pretty tough ask - but at least half of these blokes should be in that top 10 or not far away.
Im 99% sure i recall seeing a young gazza with hair running around in the 2005 semi final, ive seen the last quarter atleast 50 times.

Quite settled on this midfield and ruck structure
Leaves Maynard at D4
Leaves CCurnow at F4

Agree that most will be top 10 or thereabouts! I actually have Kelly pencilled in as a top 5 scorer, just love the way he goes about it!

A New Season ....but some things don't change
Can't believe that I thought about starting Rocky and had him in my team for 10 seconds.
