That is 22 players capable of playing in the midfield 17 drafted 5 traded in
How can anyone possibly suggest we have not drafted enough midfield players.
Our issue isn't who it is how.

When I agree with Syd on an argument, it shows how clear it is.
Doesn’t matter how many times I ask the question, no one ever responds with who we should’ve brought in instead based on their track record at the time.
The fact is our midfield development has been dog shit for years, regardless of who we brought in (a big reason why I think Barker got the boot), with our midfielders poorly led on the field by piss-poor ‘leaders’ with major flaws to their game, or have been conditional players themselves.
I don’t blame our recruiters, because they did what they were asked and aren’t responsible for development.
I also don’t blame Teague alone for this, as it’s been systemic for years. But he certainly hasn’t helped the issue.
I ll give it go
I’ll stop after 3 years of SOS’s tenure before he cracked shits because someone actually thought he was shit at something

On top of this after the worst year ( 2018) in the club’s history he trades away 3 picks in the 20s plus 2 freebies from the lower leagues for McGovern who has been useless and Setterfield who hasn’t done much better
He may have got the 2019 draft right or wrong
We don’t know
But for the last time Silvangi wouldn’t know a good young mid if he fell over one
His time as List Manager is a definite fail and this review whenever it’s let out should have a special section called “ Jobs for the boys is instigated at your own peril “
For what it’s worth

Play midfield
As Walsh said
Too many flashy players who don’t want their shorts to get dirty
