pity he has the running capacity of an inside midfielder reaching their golden jubilee
Except he was one of our worst.
That’s because he’s amputated said finger
Would be nice if people actually remembered this before heaping personal insults on him.
That’s a horrible interpretation of what he said. Shame on you. Worthy of a media job.
People have criticised him, I’m not sure people have thrown personal insults at him( I may have missed them, I haven’t read through every post)
Most of the abuse has been directed where it should go, at those selecting him
You’ve missed them then, and it wasn’t worth the reply.
Me replying to you or the abusive posts?
Your reply - to tell me that you have missed the abusive posts. Thanks. I’ll note it down.
i listen to david myers and think he is a great bloke.
he plays the role we are poor at.
i dont understand how shallow afl talent is that a top 10 draft pick can only kick on one side of his body.
O…k
You do realise it’s a forum where people reply and chat about things. If you can quote me the abusive posts about Myers then I’m happy to read.
Never mind - I’m having a ■■■■■■ night.
Fair enough. I will leave it be
don’t think that was worth the reply either mate…
If we are playing to win against Carlton he is definitely in. If we are playing for five years from now he is out. For good.
I believe we should now focus on the latter. We are a rabble.
David Myers pretty much sums up the last 18 years of the EFC for me.
Recruiting phase:
Nice bloke, great bloke… truly believe he loves this club.
High promise, lots of potential… good size.
Middle career:
Injuries and more injuries
Game styles changed and no longer suits big bodied slow midfielders…
Never really developed and instead went backwards
Picked irrespective of form
Currently:
No potential growth left
One Sided
One paced
Prone to turnover
Lack vision, imagination and flair
Is picked irrespective of form
Is a ‘club leader’
Panic merchant
Good bloke
I wholeheartedly agree that he is usually “not our worst” but he is exactly the kind of bit player that should have been cut from the list years ago. Having said that… who knows where his career would go if he had been drafted elsewhere… you look at a guy like Melksham… and he is now playing reliable and good footy.
Myers isn’t the problem precisely but he embodies everything I currently hate about our club. Tired selection policies, one paced midfielders that are extremely limited, tendency to go missing for large periods…

5 frees against
most of any player
next was Goddard, with 3.
8 clangers (out of 20 possies)
most of any player
next closest was 6
14 CP’s, at 46 percent disposal effiency, so 50/50 it would go to a carlton player
let’s do a comparison with players on the field who got similar cp’s
4 of carlton’s midfielders, 65% DE, highest was 70% ed curnow
David Zaharakis, 72% DE
The only player with worse disposal efficiency was charlie curnow, who is a FF
Our second biggest possession getter at the coal face is a dumpster fire.
How many more games Woosh?
had an eternity to kick the ball at one stage in the last quarter and still skyed it to no one.
