If somebody wants to know why building too much of a stronger midfield is stupid, have a look at Nthmond playing Freo.
Nthmond are basically surrendering the midfield clearances, while Nthmond's HB line is destroying Freo on turnovers, rebounds and counter attacks.
We have a midfield that wins, and a HB line that creates turnovers, but we also have HBFs who turn the ball over on counter-attack and small forwards who don't chase! Our winning in the midfield or at stoppages is like winning a ticket to nowhere!
