"Hird said last week the club had identified the midfield as an area it needed to boost, with Geelong Falcons on-baller Darcy Parish among the possible candidates for their first pick."

If Parish isn't available at our pick, who are we likely to pick? Mathieson has been touted to be around the mark but do we really need another grunt midfielder? Are there any quick, skilful, outside type mids around the mark?

Some people on here need to get a room and get it over with.
Anyway I was thinking the same thing about the inside midfielder considering we already have armo Ross and even acres .
Who's the next outside pacy mid ?

It's a shame isn't it. Thanks for trying to get things back on track.
Dunstan is another one. I don't know enough about the players available in this coming draft. Can someone who does shed some light on the top pacy outside mids?

I'm more than happy to talk football. Here are the top midfielders.
. CALLUM MILLS

North Shore

Height: 186cm

Weight: 80kg

Mills is a competitive and combative midfielder who has been a part of the Sydney Swans academy program since he was 13 years old. His family’s friendship with Swans chairman Andrew Pridham prompted his switch from rugby union to AFL. He was crowned All-Australian at Under 18 level in 2014, but a shin injury prevented him from captaining NSW/ACT in this year’s carnival. He will play his first game of the season, for the Swans NEAFL side, in the coming weeks. Mills is likely to draw a bid from a rival club, but is almost certain to remain a Swan. He will cost Sydney its first pick, at least.

JACOB HOPPER

North Ballarat/Leeton-Whitton

Height: 186cm

Weight: 82kg

Hopper is a midfield bull, who can go forward and take a strong mark. He skippered NSW/ACT in the championships and is a member of the GWS Giants Academy, but has played for TAC Cup club North Ballarat since boarding at St Patrick’s College. He averaged 26 disposals across three games in the carnival and has kicked 15 goals in six games for the Rebels this year, including a bag of five. Hopper is another who looks certain to be snapped up under the academy bidding system.


DARCY PARISH

Geelong Falcons/Winchelsea

Height: 181cm

Weight: 73kg

Parish missed the first two games of the championships but returned for the third fixture and was consistent throughout the carnival. He was quiet in the home win over SA, but bounced back with his best performance in the final game with 25 disposals and 148 ranking points. He’s quick, plays with bounce and penetrates with his disposal. He was All-Australian in his bottom age year and would be on the wish list of every club. He could easily slide up this board with hot form in the second half of the season.

RHYS MATHIESON

Geelong Falcons/Bell Park

Height: 185cm

Weight: 79kg

In his own words, grunt is what Rhys Mathieson brings to the midfield. The Geelong Falcon is a contested footy winning beast, he averaged six clearances for Victoria Country and models his game on Joel Selwood. Mathieson might not be as polished as some of the other midfielders in this list, but he’s the sort of player coaches want in their side. He had another outstanding carnival and is a big reason why Country was undefeated. He’s a winner and plays like one.



MATTHEW KENNEDY

Collingullie-GP

Height: 187cm

Weight: 84kg

A creative goal kicking midfielder who hails from the Riverina area and joined the GWS Giants academy this year. He missed the national championships with a knee injury that is likely to sideline him for the remainder of the season. However, he dominated for the NSW/ACT Rams through five games against TAC Cup opposition earlier this year, averaging 23 disposals. With Kennedy joining Hopper in first round calculations, it presents a delicate situation for the Giants should they wish to retain both players.

CALLUM AH CHEE

South Fremantle/Klemscott

Height: 182cm

Weight: 71kg

Ah Chee probably didn’t have the carnival he was hoping for, but for periods he looked every bit the top ten pick. He was used in a variety of roles, but was his best playing in a high half forward position where his speed and smarts creates space. His best game came in the upset win over Vic Metro. He can do the miraculous, but he also tackles, chases and pressures. Importantly, he’s a good decision maker and brings others into the game. He was named best on ground for the AFL Academy against the Northern Blues in April and pulled down a massive mark.

HARLEY BALIC

Sandringham Dragons/Parkdale

Height: 186cm

Weight: 80kg

Balic is a junior basketball star who was added to the level two AFL Academy program after his first season of elite underage football with the Sandringham Dragons. He’s moved from the forward into a midfield role this season and models his game on Collingwood’s Scott Pendlebury. He averaged 21 disposals in his first crack at the national championships and was rewarded with All-Australian selection. Balic is a player with enormous upside who could rise up the charts in the second half of the season as his exposure at this level increases.

[Gordo']

out of curiosity what was stingers views on the Goodes saga ? am I right to think he felt Goodes was just being a sook ???

don't know the answer to that one mate, but consider the following stuff................
1/ just like the collingwood schoolgirl to goodes............. that softc*** harbifigjam singh called roy a 'monkey' ffs!!!!!
2/ the stinger was purported to sometimes post with a racial element, right?
3/ and, in this thread that saynta bloke is now having a go at that flowering racist nutter harbifigjam!!!

so doing the sums, somethings not flowering adding up here .................. either you blokes have just outed the mysterious stinger as not being quite the racist he might have wanted us dudes to think him, or, you blokes have just outed saynta................ as not being stinger!!!

s*** happens.

[Con Gorozidis]

After watching Port the last two weeks we should keep a close eye on Ah Chee. His brother can certainly play.
