Better off having a mid priced forward playing as a defender, hint hint.
No it isn't. Hurley wouldn't score well as a defender IMO
 
I was just gonna say, Hurley's a better bet in my eyes, dem foot skills.

At time of writing Zac Merrett was listed as 'Watchlist'...I'm officially upgrading that to 'yes' after seeing Licka do another hammy and Zac pick up 9 touches in just over a quarter.


Back to Dave though

Shocking call.

With his field kicking, he'll be one of our main outlets from defence, especially with our two flankers coming into rd 1 underdone.
 
Agree BTG.. can see Hurley playing the 'Fletcher' role.. sweeping across HB and clearing the zone with long 60m bombs... see NAB 1 for an example :)

But back to Dave.
 
Myers look so goddamn fit at the moment. Shed some bulk around is hips but added some size up top and looks to be running as well as ever.

Seems a little less one dimensional in traffic too.

Very excited about what is to come.
 
After watching tonight i feel one of the major beneficiaries of Bomber being coach will be this man as it seems he will see plenty of onball time this year.

Bomber loved his big bodies around the footy at geelong and it brought success and it seemed Watson, Hocking and Myers were his go to onball brigade and number one brigade tonight. They are probably our 3 biggest bodied mids.

Myers with only a game in NAB is probably still some runs short in games but he got better as it went along and must bring him great confidence.
 
If he releases the ball earlier he would be so much better, sometimes just seems indecisive on who to pass it to.
 
If I was in charge this guy would've gone long ago. Probably a good thing I'm not in charge. Bags and Hooker could be gone too. Patience really is a virtue. We need up remember to give players time. We need to remember this before we begin to write off guys like Kav or NOB.

Last year Myers had 44 clearances from 20 games including 16 centre clearances.

After 2 games this year, he has had 16 clearances including 5 centre clearances. :thumbsu:

Love seeing this guy get some real time in the middle. Has always had the tools to be a clearance king, now Bomber's given him license to use them. This form alongside Watson and Dyrsn Herple makes for good times ahead.
