would someone please tell me why melbournes midfield is mentioned so often??? to be honest i think its quite weak.

or is it just all the demons supporters once again overrating their side.

Nope, Im a kangaroos supporter and i believe Melbournes midfield is very strong. They have huge depth in the midfield.

thnx mate

your right

Bruce, Green, Yze, Mcdonald, Thompson and TJ are our main ones

we also have Godfrey, Armstrong, Read

also sylvia, Bell and mclean are yet to play in the middle

also i forgot to mention in my list that the saints midfield is also awesome now and will get better in the future

i cannot believe people can rate green, bruce, mcdonald, thompson ahead of cousins, judd, kerr, fletcher, embley.

melbourne are behind freo, brisbane, eagles, adelaide, saints.

in fact i dont rate melbournes list at all. they have over achieved, and have been pumped up by certain supporters on this site to be made to look like a quality outfit.

 

[melbournemartin]

Green, Bruce and Thompson might not be the most well know players but they do have awesome skill

in a few years they will be in the top 10 or so midfielders...just wait and see

 

[Moo]

That's actually the midfield that got the Collingwood Football Club to consecutive Grand Finals against the "best side ever", so I think they may just qualify as 'handy'.

....so Leon your answer is that you think Brisbane are best?

 

[sabre_ac]

Freo probally doesnt have the best onball division yet...
But we have the best midfielder in Haselby

Ran rings around the West Coast midfield 4 weeks ago

Green destroyed Kerr by the way

Whats your excuse for this happening?

and if you think West Coasts list is better than melbournes, then you are way off the mark


I am on record as saying that the Eagles have the worst collection of tall players in the comp

They would give their left nut for BRad Miller and Jared Rivers

Mate, so long as your a big club, people will try and bring you down all the time.

Trust me, ignore dimwits who take no notice of facts, they are a waste of space.

(It hurts to stick up for you, but all us pies supporters went through it in 02/03).

What's the point being a 'big club' if you are DEAD LAST.

I cant believe I am about to do this......
What exactly is so good about melbournes key position stocks?
And what exactly have Miller and Rivers ever done?
West Coast have a awesome midfield and the most influencial player in the competition when fit.
Give me a full strength eagle side over a full strength demons side anyday.

Melbourne have depth, West Coast don't.

Given Melbourne haven't had mass injuries, i'd say it's too early to tell just how good their depth is.

It's fine having depth when you have an almost full list to choose from, but real depth is shown when you have a long injury list.

Not many teams have proven legitimate depth.

judd, kerr, cousins, last week you could have replaced them with witches hats, and the saints would have been under more pressure, and the witches hats have more talent...

I'd say the perfect midfield fully fit is Brisbane, anyone who thinks otherwise, haven't seen the last three grandfinals

anyone who thinks West coast will win a flag this year, probably think a souffle can be carried in a duffle bag and cooked in a frying pan...

 

[westernnugget]

The EAgles have the best attacking midfield without a doubt, but good midfields need to be accountable too,

I'd have to go with the lions on this one.

Fair enough but Melbourne have shown this year they can cover the loss of Bizzell, McDonald and some other of their stars have missed a game here and there.

And even amongst their best 22, they don't really drop off and are even accross the board, while West Coast drop off considerably after their top 8 to 10 players IMO.
