He might well have those 3-4 good years left in him, fingers crossed. Does he have the pace to match?
Someone who seemed to know was suggesting that he was retiring and returning to WA at the end of his contract next year.
He’s 29 going on 35 I reckon.
Agree to a large extent. He is still of good value, but to get a new contract beyond 2019 he needs to maintain this rich vain of form that he is in now, to compensate for not getting any quicker, between now and then.
major part of why we lost today was myers inability to keep within even 2 metres of any hawk once the ball left his general area
absolute passenger
Myers says for you to…oh wait… this wasn’t his good game for the month? Carry on…

Season now over, time to give Langford a stint in Davids spot
Plays a bad game, we loose.
I don’t like that we are so dependent on a guy so unreliable.

The problem with disposal stats is it doesn’t recognise where they go. I watched the replay of last week and he wasn’t that good, just better than normal. In the case of Davie quick kick forward with no thought is a disposal. He was shocking today, and has been for his career except for a couple of OK games. They got so many goals by rebounding today from his “throw it on the boot” mentality is was ridiculous.
We coughed the ball up to a Hawk defender or a three on two, it was ridiculous. Not sure anyone out at TruValu has hit on the notion of “lowering the eyes”. If they are aware of it, our blokes dont have the talent to execute.
18 years since a flag and a long long way to go.

What happened after 15 in the first? Essendon were doing a Hawthorn, lowering the eyes and hitting targets, putting pressure on the ball carrier and then it all fell apart
Yeah you probably don’t recognise it but thats called coaching. Good coaches make moves & change things to alter the way the game is going.

In the first half he had a couple opportunities where the quick handball to an overlapping smith/conor were the option, instead tried to strength his way onto his premeditated left peg and did a useless kick forward that came back with insurance.
this sort of decision making costs us a fair bit.
He has no plans to play beyond 2019 regardless of how well the team is tracking or his own personal form.
