As far as i know he wasn't injury prone, just wasn't AFL standard and after this game i believe he isn't AFL standard, his disposal is pretty average (from what i have seen) which is something we could do without.

Come on, hed fit right in then!
Just looked at an Adelaide
Thread. Do we mis Skippy? or something like.
They seemed pretty divided on whether they should have let him go. Does not sound like he was a long kick, but a few rated him pretty good at getting in and under. Who does one believe? I must admit, I am very bad at judging interstate players because I just am not interested in watching every game, every week. I rarely watch the games from WA or SA. I should start watching them more.

Out of his 44 AFL matches 21 were in 2005 (3 were finals). He must have shown something to get picked that many times. Then spent the following year mostly in the SANFL won a flag at Woodville-West Torrens and got the BOG medal in the grand final. Fair to say he has been pretty dominant outside of AFL ranks. Injuries have been a bit of a concern and missed all of last year with a knee reco. Still have the rest of the season to have a good look at him but if it was a choice of using pick 89 for him or for another project player I know what Id prefer.

Correct me if im wrong, but i know Myers could of played better yesterday, but does anyone think that maybe he is too good for the vfl? I mean if he was in the seniors, there would probably be more intensity shown by him

It's an interesting theory, but I'd say that, knowing the firsts were abysmal the day before, and that a lot of seconds players would get a run next week if they showed the coach that they were good enough, he'd have turned it on.

True, but he could of been flat after watching the seniors on friday. I hope he goes allright, watching him he almost moves like Judd. He moves well and in time will start to get a lot of the ball.

Would you be happy playing in what is considerd the second best comp in the country and having blokes like Bristowe and Ali Fahour in your team?
I would prefer he showed the same intensity that he would at AFL level any time he plays at VFL, you cant just expect to get in the team, you have to work for it.

Thats right too, he has to earn it, what i said you'd probably think its not the case, but it can happen sometimes
Correct me if im wrong, but i heard the commentators say that Bendigo has a week off this week. Anyone think that Knights would bring in one of Dempsey or Jetta without getting a run at Bendigo?
Dempsey was meant to play yesterday which means he must be close to 100%

At this stage with the situation were in you'd probably think they will come straight in. Unless Knights wants them at least 1 week in for Bendigo
No kidding mate!
We are discussing whether he is worth thinking about perhaps next season obviously. So if you feel you know a bit about him, feel free to contribute, don't state the obvious. Do you think he is worth lookin at?

He was talking to the complete tool fatshit or whatever his name is who thinks that everyone who even thought about playing for Essendon on Friday should be shot.

People have to think of who should be dropped and why, in terms of who we play, and match up on. who played well in the reserves, and who deserves to come up to the seniors.
Honestly speaking, i would love to say that Stanton could spend a week in the reserves. but we just dont really have any other A/B grade midfielders in the twos. Jason Johnson i believe should come in, dont know who for, but he is that hard bodied inside type midfielder we need. Peveril just looked slow when he was playing.
Myers looked indecissive at times, but from all reports has been very very good the last few weeks. we could bring him up and gie him a taste of the action, for the long run would be a very good idea.
Bellchambers looked ok in the rucks, but around the ground looked a little bit slow and his skills sometimes let him down, but will be all the better for the future.
Darcy Daniher was very good for limited oppurtunites. he should be in this week as a third tall. even play him out of the square with lloyd.
no one else really stood out, on some other notes. Dean Dick will not be at essesndon. gave away too mant free kicks, was willing to take the opposition on though, so knights might like that, Atkinson and Charters were good in the back half and as for Hayden Skipworth scenario, i think he would be a handy recruit, run carry, get the ball.
think what you want, just my opinions, thoughts queries.

Bullshit. You have an absolute hardon for Palmer and nothing at Myers will ever do will be enough for you.
Why dont you admit it. You are not giving Myers any time at all to develop. Everyone knew that Palmer was pretty much ready to go while Myers would take a while to develop. Yet here it is just after round six and you have already been bitching about it for 4 weeks. Seriously talk about being a member of the premature generation
He can develop all he likes, but we were talking about his game on the weekend. He was shocking. He can come up the next week and touch it 35 times be really good. That's not we are talking about...he was shit-house on the weekend, and exactly what I saw, you heard.

You have been whinging about it for months. Stop dancing around the fact. Unless Myers comes out with a super man cape and crush's 35 opponents and kicks 56 goals you wont be happy becasue he is not in the seniors and playing better than Palmer. Hell you even questioned the form that he showed in the previous two games where he was named in the better players simply becasue you saw him play and average game this week.
You are not talking about this week at all. You decided at draft time that Myers was not what you wanted and face it now he will never live up to expectations in your eyes becasue we did not draft the bloke you wanted.
Either drop the continual comparisons or simply admit you dont rate Myers. It is one or the other !
Seriosly if you are such a bloody expert why arn't clubs beating dwon your door to get you into their recruting department
You seem to have pegged Myers by viewing him on Tv in one game.
Agreed with everything Ant said. I'm getting really pissed off with Sanj and his Palmer love....
