all the times i've seen Deledio he's been at his best in the midfield anyway

I guess having a balance between key defenders and running defenders in the squad. Fletcher has been good yet again but I'd almost have Heppell as having the better season to date. As I said it's hard because it's so early in the year.
Good point, tbh after Watson it's fairly even at the Bombers this year. Maybe Hocking? as a clear 2nd best player but the defenders are all in the same basket.I actually think Hardingham has been our best defender, his spoiling has been awesome particularly in the Doggies and Saints games, kept on finding the boundary line after kick ins allowing us to set up the forward press really well.
Editted for accuracy
No way players like Yarran and Heppell have been better than Deledio. Not even close.
Deledio is great one week, terrible the next. Not AA worthy.
If Goldstein continues current form and McIntosh stays out of the side then he will give it a shake for the ruck position.
Deledio is great one week, terrible the next. Not AA worthy.
Yarran has been very consistent save rnd 1. Just shy of AA form i think though.
Yarran's disposal counts have been 4, 24, 22, 21 and I wont count the 11 against the Crows due to injury.
Deledio's have been 19, 29, 17, 33, 27, 26. He rarely turns it over (had one or two bad ones vs Carlton).
Everyone keeps saying Lids' worst is terrible, but really it's still 'just under 20 possesions and maybe 2-3 turnovers'.
Terrible is getting 4 kicks on Matt White.
If Lids got 22 or 21 touches in a game you'd be saying he was crap. Even when he got 33 against the Pies you tried to say they were cheap and off half back.
Neither should be AA based on their form so far, but Yarran shouldn't even be considered.
Give me 20 touches from a quality ball user like Yarran over 25 from Deledio any day of the week.
He's closer than Deledio though.
Surely Mundy gets a spot this year?
AG are you doing your team of the week this year?B: Corey Enright - Daniel Merrett - Ben Rutten
HB: Heath Shaw - Luke McPharlin - Robert Murphy
C: Marc Murphy - Jobe Watson (c) - David Mundy
HF: Andrew Embley - Travis Cloke - Paul Chapman
F: Dustin Martin - Lance Franklin - ?????????
R: Dean Cox - Chris Judd (vc) - Scott Pendlebury
INT: Aaron Sandilands - Nathan Fyfe - Dane Swan - Jimmy Bartel
EMG: Ryan Griffen - Matthew Pavlich - Andrew Swallow
Something like that I guess. Riewoldt probably gets FP simply because he is leading the Coleman. Has had three complete right off games this year though. Dawes the only other key forward. Goodes has fallen away. Of the crumbers it's Garlett/McGlynn imo.
I think Griffen and Pav have been better than Sandilands so, again I don't know what the selectors are going to do this year with the second ruck spot.
