Retired #23: David Myers - Retiring at the end of the season - 20/8

Jury still out whether he can be an effective player in 2017.

He should be better than Bird,Howlett,Hocking,zaka at the least

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

It'll great to have him back as a regular, but hasn't played in two years. Needs a few games in VFL I would think.

Nah, fire him in, it's just a finger, not a hamstring.

 

[Maddogm]

The reports were that before he injured his finger he was in supreme shape so it wouldn't surprise me if slots straight back into the 22

Myers will need two to three weeks in the VFL - Round 7 is his earliest return to the AFL.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Essentially two years out of the game, not expecting mutch for a while.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

**** I hope it all works out for him, and (in a slightly less noble sense) by extension, us.

Going by the hocking and hooker selections I wouldn't be so sure

 

[lamaros]

Straight in. We need him.

Unprofessional that the club stuffed up Myers return.
These people are paid a lot of money and Myers should have got a game into his legs this week.

It makes you think that the one person left from the saga is still making oversights like this then maybe it's time to move him on.

He needs to pull his finger out.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Contracted for the best part of another 3 seasons, I wonder how many games he will end up playing in this time.

 

[HirdyLannister]

People will not like this opinion but we would be better off without him. Been on our list for nearly 10 years and hasn't done much due to injury, we should of parted ways and wished him all the best to get on the park for another team.

What exactly did they stuff up? To get him 100% fit from his injury in 7weeks is a great effort from the doctors / rehab team.

Collingwood are in deep trouble next week

They put him on the long term injury list. LTI list means can't play for minimum 8 weeks. Not sure if they were just slow to lodge it or if they shouldn't have lodged it at all...

20 + 25 + 25 = 70

Disappointing but not really surprising though is it? Club appears to still be run by amateurs.

Myers was sledging with tongue in cheek. Complete over-reaction here. Completing that one week on what was seen as a 6-8 week injury might ensure less chance of a re-injury.

You mean the same Hooker and Hocking that spent time in the VFL before returning to the senior team?

Did you spill something on your keyboard?

 

[yaco55]

So Myers gives Dr Reid a backhander when he states the Doc has made me miss 1 year and 1 week of footy - Wishful thinking to think Myers will come straight into the AFL team.
