I don't know about the rest, but Fyfe most definitely is not a forward.

Hes no longer up to it in the middle.

 

[Minz]

If the coach wants a big body replacement for Fyfe he isn't choosing between Murphy and Erasmus.

I'm not quite sure who Murphy (or Cooper by the way) replace if they come in, but pretty sure it won't be Fyfe.

Erasmus is competing with Fyfe, O'Meara, O'Driscoll and Banfield for a place.

I see NOD as more outside run than inside mid; can’t see Erasmus as an outside guy

NOD does have good burst speed to break away from stoppages though, I like him as a change up type inside player like Switta, Jackson and Bolton.

Walker Pearce Ryan
Clark Cox Chappy
Noddy Young Sharp
Freddy Treacy Bolton
Jackson Amiss Switta

Darcy Brayshaw Serong

Fyfe, Johnson, Sturt, Wagner.

Sub Erasmus.

- Quality all over the park.

That's pretty good

I'd have that too except Fyfe as he is in doubt for round 1. I'd have Aish in as a mid rotation who.has the flexibility of backline or wing which helps for injury cover as Erasmus can go into the middle when the sub gets activated.

I like this.

Surely Erasmus and Johnson are mature and big enough to take over JOM and Fyfe’s spots.

 

[Joao]

Hes no longer up to it in the middle.

Yes I think he's no longer the best option in there either, but he's still an AFL standard mid, he's a WAFL standard forward.

Disagree based on last year, no longer an AFL standard mid. Maybe as sub.

He's borderline to my eye, but he's playing a role good enough to keep other players out. If he wasn't doing the job he would have gotten dropped - we have options.

 

[gungho]

Some fairly strong midfield depth this year.

A roster: Bradshaw, serong, young.
B roster. Fyfe, Bolton, Johnson, JOM
C roster. Erasmus, Brodie, Switta, Aish, Simpson, banfield,

It’s going to be hard to get a crack. You can only really play 5 or 6 mids a game.

To me there is a clear best 20, their average age and games are 24.6 years and 85 games. A young core on the precipice

No	Name	Games	Age	Date of Birth
13	Ryan, Luke	155	28yr 11mth	6/02/1996​

44	Johnson, Matt	37	21yr 9mth	16/03/2003​
1	Sturt, Sam	31	24yr 8mth	12/05/2000​

The next 3 players could be our 3 oldest players in bringing our averages to 25.7 years and 102 games.

7	Fyfe, Nathan	240	33yr 3mth	18-Sep-91​
10	Walters, Michael	239	34yr	7-Jan-91​
2	O'Meara, Jaeger	186	30yr 10mth	23-Feb-94​

These 3 players skew our averages by adding over 1 year and 15 games to our playing side's averages. We see only marginal improvement over some of our younger options.

We need PurpleEyes to revisit their games played/average age theory from a couple years back. We look to be heading right into our sweet spot especially with so many of these having played their careers together. The synergy is only continuing to grow.

 

[BoneBroth]

A great list and highlights just how well list is primed, with so many still under the Fifty game mark.

I’m not sure I’d have Wagner in the best twenty players, although I concede he will be in the team before Draper because of role. But I’m so high on Draper I have him ahead of Wagner as a player.

Exciting times ahead.

Forgetting NOD

Saw him more as a winger with Sharpie.

If you’re including JOM, Banfield, Aish, Switta and Simpson, you should chuck NOD in there as well.
