Now I know youāre pretty daft, and whist I do enjoy you following me around on Blitz and mentioning me in random threads, thereās an obvious answer cockwomble.
You know how everyone was wanting Big Boi Begley in to debut? And then jokingly voicing their disappointment hence that entire thread? Explaining jokes is fun. Derp.
I actually agree with you WD, long term I think Myers will be pushed out, but He deserves a couple more weeks yet to see what heās got. He found it 30 times 2 weeks ago which was a huge positive imo, Iām not sure he can produce that week in week out but Iād say weāll really see where heās at the next 3 or so weeks
I think weāre a 5 goal better side since we stopped playing slow small blokes who donāt kick goals as forwards. And good riddance, about as sorely missed as Steven Dank for mine.
Whoās the better dedicated tagger or defensive forward is a moot point.
In which case Langford is streets in front of all of them, can play half back, half forward, marking target, wing - almost any role on the park.
No?
You pick guys for a role, week to week. Itās nice for them if they can do more than one, but as weāve seen, Woosha almost exclusively sets guys in one position until they get it right. And weāve not picked a specialist tagger or tagging forward in his first year and a bit, not sure why you think itās going to start now. Just to save Craig birdās career.
Iād love to see him make it. He seems like one of the best blokes in the side. But Iād rather win games of footy.
I think his numbers were good a few weeks ago, but his impact on the game low. He is so easily corralled when he has the ball and a liability when the opposition have it and are spreading.
He is one-sided, but itās not just that he doesnāt have much of a right foot, his handball skills let us down badly when we are trying to move the ball quickly through the corridor. On one occasion last weekend he was stuck on his right side and he failed to make connection with a regulation right-handed handball. I would hazard a guess that his disposal efficiency is quite low.
Compared to Bird, Iād say Bird is a better defensive player, a better ball user, more capable of playing different roles, wins more the ball and makes better decisions. Myers has his left hoof when afforded space, which doesnāt seem to be very often. Because he takes so long to execute his kicking action, he really needs a paddock to use deploy his weapon.
