Best mid while fit? I can only recall him playing 1 or 2 decent games where he was top 3 to 5 for us.

He only had Tarranto to contend with for the title really and Tarranto did a lot of hack kicking to nowhere. When Hopper was up and about he was hitting targets inside 50 and actually damaging. Just don't reckon he's in whipping boy conversations until he's had a non-****ed Serpell pre-season and can actually put together a fair body of work.

It's gonna be Adam Yze. He should be winning a flag by year 2.

Short because I expect more from him, it's a big pre-season for him coming up.
Kosi and Ryan... FML they're not even going to be a deadly combo in the ammos
he has been in shit form half his time at tigers.

Yze by the length of the Flemington straight, followed by 2025’s version of the camel, with Sonsie and Dow in a dead heat for 3rd.
There's form and there's being Louied.

It is going to be Sonsie and Ryan in the preseason and then Short, Macca, Broad or Hopper during the season.
If Short plays every game like he did this year then he is going to have his billboard at Punt Road defaced. Macca getting a game will be a whipping boy.
Controversial one, but I am going to throw in Brown as a whipping boy. Started to see it at the end of the year and think it will continue into 2025.

Dow is extremely lucky to remain on our list and in fact, be playing at the highest level.
Better players than him playing country footy.

Would have him bottom 20-30% of mids whilst playing. At his worst I'd prefer to play Dow.
Besides the best ability is avail-ability.

A reminder Hopp-errors will turn 28 in February. And he averages 11 games per season over the past 3 seasons.
At 11 games per season on 800k per year, availability wise he is on as much as a player who plays 22 games on 1.6 million a year.
And he has 5 more years left on his contract.

I’ll throw Prestia into consideration. Has been an absolute gun but if he runs around this coming season like he did in the back half of last season then he will not escape criticism.

Muddiemoose for me, certainly the spud of the mod team.
Young and Miller have been too good as inexperienced KPDs in a shit team to be whipping boys.
Short should turn it around if he moves into his B&F position at half back.
It would be hard for Hopper to be the whipping boy because I doubt he plays a whole season. If he does, he probably plays well enough to not be our whipping boy.
For me the below 4 players are our whipping boys until they prove us wrong.
1. Ryan has no excuses now; old enough and experienced enough to have a genuine impact.
2. Kozi has been a genuine under achiever. He’s shown signs but that’s it. Has experience and maturity so no excuses for kicking ~ a goal a game and barely touching the ball.
3. Dow has had his chance to prove his midfield worth and he didn’t. If he could improve a bit he might be decent but his brother didn’t. This handball happy light weight is going to have the whips on him as hard as anyone.
4. Sonsie the soft. For a player rated top 5 in U16s he’s nothing more than an outside pretend elite user. I hope they play him inside mid and force him to harden up, or it’s career over.
