Has anyone heard what the damage is?
Is he alright? I had flashback to Jimmy Hirds knee to the face car crash incident.

Woosh said in the presser that it’s probably a broken nose and some minor lacerations about the face.
His grunt work is always good, but with Myers it’s a tradeoff with his poor outside game. Personally, I prefer a bit more versatility in my mids.
Absolutely has to go for that. Many many footballers take a mark with their eyes on the ball, very few of them see the need to put their foot out. That was a dirty act

Well, he got more headlines and sympathy than usual. Dunno if I’d label that as “dominating” though.
His foot was up even without the tunneling, pathetic effort.

Given our set up, and the amount of run we generate off half-back, I think we can afford to have a specialist inside “grunt” midfielder like Myers.
Sure, if he had the all round game of someone like Bontempelli or Dangerfield, that’d be awesome. But I think he gives us something we lack, and when he plays his role well, we are a much better team for it.

I agree to a point. But you can have a specialist inside grunt who can still move and spread well. Hocking was that inside grunt and he was still able to offer something on the spread especially defensively. It’s the role I was hoping they’d groom Guelfi for during the offseason but it seems they had him pegged for the backline in 2019.
ha!
i had been meaning to go back and play funny buggers with some editing, but alas theDJR got there before me.

That’s passable from myers. He wasn’t great, but it was reasonable I thought. I thought he was pretty strong around the contest. If he can keep that up, he will be best 22. I really hope he does

I thought he was average but didnt cause any turnovers and did enough to provide a chop out for Hep and Sheil at least

Thought his game was okay. Probably not droppable based on that performance.
Was cringing when we was starting in the goal square for a few centre bounces. Will never be a threat as a forwards. Yes he can dob them from 55m but that’s when he’s a mid drifting forward.
Not gonna be a threat in the air or when the ball hits the deck
Any news on his face?
How quickly do players come back from a broken nose?
Week? 2?.. no time at all?
yep - and it’s a hell of a lot worse than we thought.

What sort of doctor would bandage an injured man’s face with toilet paper?

Looks like a WW1 English army corporal with sh*t paper for an eye patch.
Remarkably David hasn’t aged one bit
