Re: 23. David Myers

Hodge showed a lot lot more in his firsts year.

Lets hope we get a quality AFL player and he actually makes it before we go and compare him to the guns of the comp.

At this stage Palmer and Rioli are way ahead of him.

How are they "entitled" to disagree with the choice to draft Myers? I didn't realise these people have crystal balls and can tell what career both will have.

Well if you were to be cynical you would look to being negative thus attacking our recruiters over the choice to draft Myers over Palmer. I have said that this is a short-sighted view but believe it or not, there are may short-sighted people in the world. Most of us are content with the decision to take Myers but the cynics are entitled to have a crack at the recruiters though it would be very short-sighted of them.

Let's hope he bulks up over the summer. Great to know that he has very good leadership skills. Can never have enough leaders at a club:thumbsu:

Of course we'll never know, but I wonder who Freo would have picked if they had our pick and us theirs?

Myers was originally earmarked to go to Fremantle with pick 7 up until the Thursday before the draft. Essendon had a meeting to discuss the selection of Palmer V Myers with pick 6. They decided on Myers with pick 6 which meant Palmer then went to Fremantle with pick 7.
Depending on who the Bombers were going to take with their pick, decided the fate of Myers and Palmer. Both were either going to go 6 or 7. There were no other players under consideration for these two picks.

yeh, I know that. I know what actually happened. I was more musing the hypothetical - whether if Freo had pick 6 they would have still gone with Palmer, or also gone with Myers before him as Essendon did

I actually do not think that size is a weakness of David. In fact, he is as well built as any 18YO draftee that I have seen at EFC in recent times (perhaps with Houli).
 
Re: 23. David Myers

Man I'm excited by the potential that Myers has, can't wait to hopefully see him tearing it up in a couple of years off hbf playing the 'quarterback' role or in the middle with all the other exciting young players we have.

In the games he played he was solid without doing anything breath taking.

The game against Carlton... At the start of the last qrt when Myers came charging out of defence and hit Lloyd on the lead with a 45m bullet of a pass.

I thought that was pretty breath taking. Maybe I'm easily pleased.

:cool:

Yeah I reckon you are. IIRC Lloyd had to take a great mark for that kick to have looked so good to many of you. I am a massive fan of Myers but am trying to temper my enthusiasm by being more realistic. I see Palmer winning the Rising Star and remember back to last year when all the debate was which of the 2 we should pick. At this time Palmer looks like he will be a good player whereas Myers had a more typical first year getting into the seniors for a few games.

That pass is being overrated unless I am recalling the memory incorrectly.

Re: 23. David Myers

I stand corrected. Exciting to see him breaking the lines and then delivering a decent kick to Lloyd. Let's hope he realises his talent:)

So ive wait and luckily it says something along the lines of 'former britan winger great David Myers has been killed in a car crash'
