[yodellinhank]

so sorry to see him go.

 

[Pweter]

6-8 weeks! That's a serious hamstring injury, especially for someone so young

 

[Andronicus]

Prior to injury, was he likely to get any senior action this year?

Absolutely none.

 

[Lore]

Has missed close to eight weeks with this hamstring injury, but has now resumed training.

Like him.

He's obviously a waif, but he's quick, clean and he put on a tonne of blocks for others when he didn't have the pill, which is more than I can say about others on the list.

Shares the traits of his Dad - Dean was a very team oriented player - He got Lloyd a few goals with blocks.

Been one of the most frustrating things on watching Essendon over the last 5 years.

Been one of the most frustrating things on watching Essendon over the last 5 years.

Which is why I place Myers behind only Hurls, Hep, Hooksy, and Jobe for retaining on our list. Colyer and Hibbo next tier.

Was coming in here to say this but he was sensational with the 1%'ers he did today.

Couple of times he could have coasted ahead waiting for his team mate to get tackled and receive the ball, instead, he put a sheppard on and allowed his team mates in much more space.

I'm an unabashed fan

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Let's hope he didn't inherit his father's tackle-breaking ability.

Too soon...

Will benefit greatly when Buddha Hocking returns next year. Has so many similar traits and game styles.

It was a push in the back

 

[Doss]

Is there any prospect of him being promoted and getting senior selection this year? Or too late now?

He's a tough little player. Not flashy, but gritty and if he's able to given a shot, we could do worse.

At any time during 2016, EFC can upgrade any Rookie Listed Player on a similar basis as if a suspended Player was on the Long Term Injury List – noting that as with other clubs, EFC may only have a maximum of 40 players available for senior selection at any time.

We had 39, lost 12, added 10, promoted Tippa and McKenna, LTI listed Simpkin, upgraded Hams. So 39, if my maths is correct? That's room for one more.

Simpkin returns from injury in about two weeks as well, which will demote Hams again unless there's space on the senior list. Bags or Jamar could be moved to the LTI list (depending on how bad Jamar's hammy is), but so far they haven't been, for whatever reason.

You can upgrade a rookie post round 11 too

We can, but with the list concessions we don't really need a reason, only an open spot on the senior list. I think we've generally tried not to invoke the list concessions with managing our rookies though... And we don't upgrade them unless they're beating the door down for AFL selection in any case.

Agree he isn't really required at AFL level but the ability is there
