Sorry? We?

[Crimsons]

Sorry? We?

Please.

Exactly! What a joke of a comment coming from Yoda - One of Myers' biggest detractors on this board.

Would be looking to rest him from the saints round 5 game. Just so his body is right for anzac day and the next 4 rounds Before the bye round.

I'd be happy to see him rested this weekend tbh.

Perth is his home, he will be happy to get back there for a bit.

Freo is a must win game and a great opportunity for us with some of their injuries.

We cant have too many players resting in Chapman, Fletcher and Myers plus Ryder maybe playing under done.

Hes not an old many like Fletch and Chapman, altitude doesnt affect him like the old blokes. They geed DVT (deep vein Thrombosis)

 

[Beerfish]

Have to put my hand up here. Thought I was in the Chapman thread lol.

That's surely card worthy

 

[Doss]

That's surely card worthy

I can arrange that quicker than Myers hoofs goals from 70 metres out.

 

[Keystone agony]

Is he our next captain?

 

[Burzum]

Still learning to lower them eyes but is fast becoming the player we all knew he could.

 

[rines]

Never believed in Myers.. never rated him.

Still have some lingering doubts.. but no doubt he is playing inspired footy right now.

If this continues.. he will become a very very good player and egg.face.mine.

Heppell for mine, but a tough choice imo.

It could be time to do the "I told you Myers would be the break out man, but you wouldn't listen" dance.

My boy

He is IMO.

Had always questioned his decision making Sosa

hence my previous statement..

 

[2one2]

So it is decided, I love the chosen one the most.

I'll come off my high horse for a minute here and say that I have criticised him for a while now. That I have questioned whether he 'had' what it takes to become an AFL midfielder.

People still have question marks, hell, even rines has some doubts and as one of the most respected posters on this board, shall we attack them? Of course not..

Look, I have said from a very early on that his decision making has been one of his greatest deficiencies, from very, very early on. The long blaze away was one of them hence my post about needing to lower the eyes. Seems to just want to boot it long every time.

The facts are that younger guys are catching his output very quickly. He needs to continue to develop with his body finally right now (has played 68 of a possible 135 games). If he continues to push the midfield group, we as Essendon will be a premier side having had a guy like Myers as 'depth' for such a long time.

Now come at me. I wrote him off early, but i'll admit that i've come around to him in the last 18 months (yeah, yeah, injury free. Whatever ) so come at me

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Dig up, stupid.

You said it yourself

Ive been a bit of a hater, but he did show some very good signs this year. Hope he can step up into a top 5 midfielder for us in 2014.

(before you ask: BJ, Watson, Heppel, Howlett, Melksham)

to be honest i can't even recall the nature of the myers debate anymore. except for the midfield/defender thing.

Was always whether his body would allow him to string a whole season together to not
