Josh Head =/= David Myers

[IbbosBFF]

Just have a think about it next time you watch him play. Really reckon we dodged a big bullet with the Myers VS Palmer of 07.

Butchers the ball with that same "raking" left boot all the time. Bad decision making AND poor kicking execution half the time.

 

[__aria__]

agreed

looks like a bit of a hack to me
palmer light years ahead

 

[E Shed]

There was a Bombers fan on here with a sig that said "Myers will win the Brownlow" for a while. Haven't seen it lately

 

[pinkus maximus]

he has been pretty ordinary so far but he has had a tough run with injuries. I reckon he'll come good eventually

I'm not sure we would have taken him had they gone for Palmer anyway

 

[silverscope]

Never seen him play so can't comment.

But i will say Palmer daylight Myers

 

[Scham]

looks like another victim of the dreaded pick 6 in the ND?

let's hope Yarran follows the tradition tonight.

Yes indeed...although he comes good at the end of 2011 and wants to come home to freo...

Noooo! That'd be like the Headland senario, comes good, we pay top dollar...

Better that we get him cheap and turn him around.

Woops, i actually meant 2010 when I think he will come out of contract and will come to us for nothing!!!

I actually think Palmer is the much better player so far, but for you to say he Butchers the ball is quite hilarious. You're comparing him to PALMER, probably the worst kick in the league

 

[AndyLesPaul]

Whats your point in bagging myers? When Palmer has a season ending injury, and the surgery was botched.
Pick the right time to bag players please.

Myers had Glandular fever in Feb-Mar.
Also. At least he's playing games.

 

[Fitz11]

Ahhh your a class act aren't you Andy.

I guess by your estimation Steven Dodd is better then Hille, McVeigh etc??? Guess guess what, atleast he's playing games.

Actually... nah.

His kicking efficiency is massively under rated compared to basically every other young player.

 

[stormee]

probably a better efficiency from Palmer than other 1st/2nd year players, just he gets the ball 25 times a game whereas they get it 15. They butcher it 3 times, he might do it 5 times - still better efficiency (if my maths is right) just it is more noticeable as he has done it more.

 

[estibador]

Plus Palmer goes in and gets the hard ball a lot more than most first year players so he's often trying to dispose of it under a lot more pressure than some skinny rookie sitting outside the packs.

Yep.

Sums up my thoughts.

Rioli's kicking is diabolical. You just don't notice it because he doesn't get it 30 times a game.
