[punterpupnroy]

Cats do defiantly. Cant choose against he likes of ablett, ling, corey, bartell and selwood.

Lol at whoever chose Carlton.

I chose Geelong and Carlton.

Carlton have one of the best midfields in the competition. They just suck everywhere else. Not only do they gel well, but they're also a young midfield, which is mostly why they make more mistakes than some more experienced midfields (Geelong, Hawthorn, etc.). But because of their youth, Carlton's midfield will be strong and still look pretty much the same as it does now in years to come, except players like Murphy, Gibbs and maybe even Browne in a couple of years will be AFL guns.

I voted equal for Geelong and Bulldogs.

Geelong have just been a class act for this year and last.

Bulldogs probably rely on the midfield too much, but with players like they have, they should be there.


Normally I would vote the Crows, but it is more the style of football they play rather than the actual midfield that wins them matches.

Adelaide.

Geelongs midfield is amazing at the moment with gablett bartel and corey, would of loved to see geelongs current midfield go head to head with the judd cousins and kerr WC mid

 

[Cricketdude]

I would have to say that Bulldogs have the best midfield.
