I keep forgetting about this guy!
I would love his bad luck to end and see him have a career best year.
Because I know we all would love some more of this...

The real highlight is at the 3m13s mark. Whenever Malthouse was on the boundary scowling, pointing, glaring, or just standing motionless fuming and churning up inside he was just mesmerising to watch I reckon. You could just feel the energy and see the torment.

If he holds up injury wise, we're in for a seriously good year - he's in ridiculous shape right now.
leadership, long kicking and strength inside. we have severely missed him as Jobe's main partner in the middle.
Loving the idea of Watson, Heppell & Myers with Merrett, Zaka, Parish and Colyer around them

Essendon midfielder David Myers will be sidelined for six to eight weeks with a finger injury.

Myers had enjoyed an injury-free pre-season and picked up eight possessions in less than three quarters against Collingwood last week.

But after pulling up well, the 27 year old damaged a tendon in his finger at training this morning and will undergo surgery.

“David Myers got his finger caught in someone’s jumper, he’s ruptured his tendon in that finger and he’ll be in for surgery today,” High Performance Manager Justin Crow said.

“It means six weeks in a splint and then two weeks getting his touch back normally to then play football.

“The good news is it’s his right hand so he’ll be able to continue to guide the ball with his left hand and keep running over that period and maintain the really good training base he’s been able to get this pre-season.”

Myers has played just two games in the last two years after a shoulder injury and then a knee to the back derailed his 2015 campaign.

He played 38 games in his most consistent run across the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Myers is entering his tenth AFL season. He’s played 85 games and has recorded more than ten games in a season on three occasions.
