Going by the stats I'm reading there must be a talent/performance chasm between N Daicos and the next best magpie.

On a scale of 1 to 1000 those players would range from 9950 to 9975Hard ball gets are separate stat but out of good inside mids the difference isn’t large.
Serong - 3 / 14 CP / 8 CL
Neale - 3 / 13.5 CP / 7 CL
Cripps - 4 / 15 CP / 8 CL
Daicos - 2 / 14 CP / 8 CL
Definitely different but Daicos is still a strong midfielder without these, contested possessions still count and so do clearances.
Daicos is the best at cleanly gathering and reading the hitout in the league, which doesn’t count as a hard ball get, but shows elite stoppage craft.
Daicos is top 3 loose ball gets, first for midfielders.
Contested possessions and clearances have been shown and are very close.
Then Daicos is by far a better user than all of these listed, all have differing strengths. Neale and Serong elite ground ball players with superb clean hands and creativity. Cripps is a 195cm bull with power and an ability to get forward and create mismatches. Daicos is a great ball user, evasiveness, cleanliness and general class.
All great players, different but still strong in similar areas, doing it in different ways. Process v result and how that differs.
Daicos has probably legit squibbed about 20 contests alone this year. Maybe 3 or 4 have already gone viral on twitter in the afl circles. Most players don't squib to this degree once in a 15 year career. Daicos fails the eye test every single time when it comes to putting his body on the line.Hard ball gets are separate stat but out of good inside mids the difference isn’t large.

You could nitpick and say any player has, stats don’t lie, your opinion does.Daicos has probably legit squibbed about 20 contests alone this year.

Absolutely and midfielders aren’t ever as easy to rate anymore, they aren’t just outside players and inside types. Hybrids are the new norm, and they’re doing it in a thousand different ways.On a scale of 1 to 1000 those players would range from 9950 to 9975
Thats how I see how close they are
Does he NEED to/is it in the teams best interest for him to be in contested marking position?Daicos has probably legit squibbed about 20 contests alone this year.

what are you talking about marking for? and yes, it's in the best interests of team culture. when it's your turn, it's your turn.Does he NEED to/is it in the teams best interest for him to be in contested marking position?
How have Zac Butters and Errol Gulden fared in relation to contested marking so far this year?what are you talking about marking for? and yes, it's in the best interests of team culture. when it's your turn, it's your turn.
Good effort but it's obvious bias to not have Darcy or Coffield in at this stage.Jones, Lobb, Duryea, Bramble, Dale, Richards, Bont, Treloar, West, Libba, Naughton, JUH, Weightman, Darcy.
I’ll leave it to others to fill in the gaps from other teams.

I think Dale has pushed himself into the team. He’s had a better year than his 2021 AA year.
It would also be pretty criminal for Treloar to miss out. If Dogs finish top 4, it would help their chances.
Treloar would have to be in the mix. Would be very very stiff to missThey're going to pop Bont on a flank again just to squeeze in someone else.
If it's Treloar I'm ok with it
How many midfielders are we expecting in the official team?
Got the 5 on the field and 4 on the bench. I think they can get away with putting Warner at HF but would be a little disappointed if they stuck a second midfielder in the forward line. Could see them putting Sheezel at half back but wouldn't love that.
Think I'd rank them as Bont, Cripps, Daicos and Heeney in the highest tier. Neale, Gulden and Serong in the level just below. Then going to be some unlucky players fighting for the last couple of spots. Feel like the midfield strength has been even stronger than the past few seasons.
Battle for midfield spots is as tight as I can ever remember.Merrett has had a better year than many of those listed.
