Lyon and Watson name their All-Australian midfields so far

4 years ago

Garry Lyon and Tim Watson have named their All-Australian midfields to this point in the season.

Both agree on the ruckman, with Melbourne’s Max Gawn making the cut.

They also agreed on Ollie Wines, Clayton Oliver, Marcus Bontempelli, Christian Petracca and Sam Walsh, with a few changes from there.

“Trying to narrow down this All-Australian midfield group is nearly impossible,” Lyon told SEN Breakfast.

Lyon: Max Gawn, Ollie Wines, Clayton Oliver, Hugh McCluggage, Marcus Bontempelli, Sam Walsh, Christian Petracca, Jarryd Lyons and Darcy Parish.

Watson: Max Gawn, Ollie Wines, Clayton Oliver, Cam Guthrie, Marcus Bontempelli, Sam Walsh, Christian Petracca, Zach Merrett and Touk Miller.

Kane Cornes gave his feedback after hearing the teams.

“I’m comfortable with (those teams). No David Mundy would be the one. He’s worthwhile for contention. No Travis Boak either, his form has been very good, but I think Wines has been Port Adelaide’s best. They’re the two for me,” Cornes said.

“Touk Miller is in the squad of 40 I assume, but wouldn’t quite make my midfield and there’s some unfortunate players that got injured. Adam Treloar was in the conversation.”

Lyon: “There’s a bloke called Jack Macrae who hasn’t had under 30 possessions this year and neither Tim nor I had him in our top nine.”

“No Dustin Martin mentioned in either team, the best player of the last five years.”
