Delist

The whole quote is ****ed tbh

 

[Haychh]

He's a different operator, word is he never takes those glasses off outside the club

 

[Beerfish]

Thank god that hairy abomination is gone.

 

[Howard Moon]

check out smack stretching his neck to get in shot

Thank god that hairy abomination is gone.

It was the best thing he's ever done.

Delist.

This is from about November at a festival overseas... There's every chance the Mo is still there

In that case, delist.

Could this be the year? He was good. If we can get more of that, then we may not be so bad on the inside

Its easy to forget but in 2017 we literally had no inside grunt without Myers. People kept asking for him to be dropped but we couldn't win the pill without him in the middle. With Watson gone and no obvious replacement (despite typically balanced mids trying to play more inside - Zerrett, Heppell, Parish, McGrath) he will absolutely be playing every game this year if fit. Hopefully he can list his Disposals, CP and CL by a few a game and the left boot gets back to its best.

Liked his game yesterday in close. Did a lot of heavy lifting & won plenty of pill in tight with nice footwork. Another who’s finally had a full pre season & I expect will be important cog in our midfield.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

He's hard to tackle more offten than not he has blokes hanging off him and getting the ball out.

Didn't get to see the game, the real question I have is about his disposal. Last year he always looked rushed with s**t bombs over his shoulder and awful fumbly handballs to players under pressure, was this present in his game or was it far cleaner with meaningful decisions behind his ball use?

Seemed cleaner and more decisive, but Merrett he isn't.

Still, looked a lot better than last year.

Gonna be critical and needs to stay fit.

 

[owen87]

Had a few nice passages in the last quarter; stood up in a tackle or two and got a clearing handball, some good usage by foot.

Definitely looks capable of being a solid contributor this season based off the preseason game, fingers crossed he finally gets a clear run at it.

I thought it was an ordinary game - And the points you raised were again apparent yesterday - Myers only works for me if it gives Heppell more opportunity to attack clearances.

 

[Bombers36]

I've been his biggest critic - but there were encouraging signs against the Cats. Lets hope he can stay on the park and build on this in the season proper

I highly doubt we'd have won without him. Not saying he was excellent, but he was looking good albeit a little rusty like most players playing their first preseason game

ya reckon this guy can stay fit for any reasonable length of time?

“Dave Myers had calf tightness. His scan showed no sign of any muscle tear, which was a good thing, however he won’t be available for the game,” Crow said.

Some bodies just can't hack it, and that's what he will be remembered for.

No sympathy from me tbh. My bro saw him absolutely shitfaced at Bimbo Deluxe only 3 weeks ago. Not professional imo. You've had all off-season.

Judging by all the boys instagrams he’s always living up the life of a AFL Footballer. 100% lacks professionalism.

Nice guy tho had a good chat to me when he was banned and I saw him out in Adelaide.

Gotta have a life too... but he should know how to strike a balance by now, and he's in the leadership group. Maybe it was his birthday or something
