Myers is a decent outside runner with good skills.
According to what I've read both today and one other time recently, on the Essendon board, he has done by far his best work at Essendon inside/in the guts. Apparently he was a bit of a revelation when moved in there. (Like the difference between Beau Wilkes playing forward and Beau Wilkes playing back.)
I imagine if we are looking at him, we are doing so in the hopes he will fill Lenny's shoes, once he hangs them up.
My query, like some others though, if this is true, is why would Essendon, who are crying out for those that can play in the guts (hence going after Moloney and Caddy), not be offering him a better contract, if he is so good in there, unless they have serious injury concerns with him, a la Gumbleton?
Obviously they are trying to free up some space in the cap to be able to fit Goddard, Moloney and maybe Caddy in, but I would have thought it would be silly to lose someone who actually plays well in the guts, in order to get others who also play well there (unless injuries are a major concern).
Talent wise, I would be more than happy to have him, as he has a lethal and raking left foot and big body for on ball (especially if he was as effective on ball as they say he was), but the big query has to be on his body. If that is sound, then he could be very, very well worth getting.
