Retired #49: Matt Dea - calls it a day, retiring at season's end - 2/9

[Jade]

My spidey senses tell me that unless he is drafted by another side, he will 100% be playing at Essendon next year.

 

[Jade]

Probably doesn't have much contention for that mantle. Zaharakis and Fantasia maybe, but they tend to award these sorts of things to the more 'understated' players.

Dea will be picked up end of the year. By us you'd think.

s**t I'd be tempted to say Walla as well.

Based on current form will be a lock for our best 22 next year. This was a bloke I didn't think was even worth a rookie spot.....

 

[Harlequin]

Continued feel good story. Well done Matt.

Geez, he's only 24 - he could be a handy 7-8 year player.

And a nice guy too

 

[bomberman500]

For his sake I hope Richmond dont pick him up just to sit in the magoos behind spuds like Grimes and Morris

delist him and then draft him again? Actually wouldnt even be surprised if they did that

 

[freddy mercury]

Give him two years, promote him to the senior list.

Appears Dea may have too play tall this week with Ambrose missing.

 

[tesla1962]

Also, ashby and gleeson are pretty good overhead - that will be crucial this week

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Must get him will replace Hibberd.

This guy as that General defender I want on the list eth-dog

If Hibberd does leave, Dea is a direct replacement but would still like to add another general defender

Spot for Ashby if he wants it.

 

[yaco55]

Good game against Darling tonight - Tracking well.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Was reamed by a few frees that went against him but he had a good game.

One we must get on the list next season.

Mods - can you rename the title

"Matt Dea - WILL NEED TO BE DRAFTED"

The amount of people suggesting to upgrade, keep, promote him have forgotten he is a top up and will have to go through the draft.

Gold Coast and Richmond could use his type of services.

We had our chance

 

[Bomberblitzer]

He was punched or fended off in the face on at least 2 occasions and not given a free kick. He's game was better than what it might seem on paper.

 

[Doss]

I thought he was quite decent.

He is a cool head under pressure too.

Get him on the list, it's a complete no-brainer.

Would you say he's De-Richmondised?

 

[Highly Evolved]

Would you say he's De-Richmondised?

Would you say he's Dea-Richmondised?

 

[Doss]

I would just say he's been dea-lightful.

 

[eth-dog]

Would you say he's De-Richmondised?

Yes, we've unRichmonded him

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Would you say he's Dea-Richmondised?

DO'H!

Why didn't I do that before?

Nice one dad.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Yep no brainer direct replacement if we lose Hibberd.

Also you think Richmond would have given him a second chance considering he won their VFL B&F.

Oh well it's going to make Richmond look stupid for letting him go

 

[Runk]

No brainer guys, no brainer.

 

[Doss]

No brainer guys, no brainer.

Dea will brain you, mate.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Is he better than Jack Grimes..?
