#49 Matt Dea

[Preliminary_Point2]

I’d also rather have francis, gleeson, ridley, conor, mcgrath, saad in the team over him.

I think most would agree there.

Dea has the last spot on our list in case there is a few injuries to those guys.

[westozziebomber]

Is this Chinese whispers stuff? I dont think that’s really correct, at all. He has a damn good attitude

[HirdMentality]

I like Dea and I get what Disco was saying about what he brings to the team.

However Sydney Stack was left on the shelf

would have much preferred him, and a few others before redrafting a player where the position is well and truly covered

I’ve been big on Stack for most of the year, but him been passed up by all 18 clubs is a good indication that there are some significant off-field issues that he needs to address before he is put on an AFL list

If Stack finds a bit of respect and a bit of dedication he’ll get taken next year, because the talent is definitely there, but no AFL club is going to take him with the attitude he has displayed so far.

So you’re saying he is too arrogant

[Aceman]

Everyone has passed on him and with the intel available today there must be some doubt on him

[Pevers-Legend]

Best pick from the draft in my opinion.

Glad he’s going around again.

Agreed. He didn’t deserve to be cut in the first place and is the type of guy who makes me love footy. Nothing special, just GnD and a lot of hard work to get the best out of himself.

[Captain_Jack]

Dea - best #49, since the last one.

[Ants]

Was great news to have him back.

So basically we’ll have picked up 4 new players? Turning over less than 1/10th of our list. Dumb

Clarke and Shiel make it 6.

[barnz]

Have we actually got Clarke?

[Killer_Mike]

Yep, love players like Dea, Brown and Bags.

Give all for the club and asking little in return.

[Pevers-Legend]

Couldn’t agree more. I love Baggers and watching Brown have such a great season was a big part of what I enjoyed most about the season. Him and McKernan (who is also a journeyman who thought he was on the scrapheap) becoming our two key fwds and delivering with baggers in the pocket was really enjoyable to watch.

[Ants]

Have we actually got Clarke?

No, but that list spot will be used on someone new.

Is this Chinese whispers stuff? I dont think that’s really correct, at all. He has a damn good attitude

They talked about this on Foxfooty live coverage. Sheehan (sp?) said he is a good kid but he has attitude issues and lack of professionalism. He misses training, misses medical tests, doesn’t eat well and ignores directives.

attitude issues and lack of professionalism. He misses training, misses medical tests, doesn’t eat well and ignores directives.

That’s ok, he too can grow up to be the president of the United States.

[Killer_Mike]

Good sides are judged by their bottom 6 players.

Ours are better than serviceable.

No. It’s the legit knock on the bloke.
Lack of commitment, not very professional attitude, etc.
As I said, if he can fix that, and it wouldn’t be hard, the talent is there.

[Captain_Jack]

Wake up call for Sidney Stack. The clock is ticking.

[mdso]

Matty Dea you are ace,
I’m glad we found one more space,
You give your best for the red and black,
I’m mighty chuffed, welcome back - go Matty, go Bombers.

[karmabomber]

Contact Reboot. He’s got some great stories!

[SMJ]

He’s not on the list in case one of our rebounding defenders goes down. He’s on the list in case one of our lock down defenders goes down.

How do you explain Richmond winning a premiership? You can’t tell me their bottom 6 were better than most
