Just f****** stop it already ffs

I also think Myers has a looooong way to go but f*** me he could play a better game with his dick in his hand than NLM ever will
I've never said NLM is a great player, just beat it up to give you c**** a bit of shit.

NLM is as good as Myers at this stage, and has been better than Myers in the past.
Does the second line relate to the first?
Nope. Across his career, NLM has been better, no doubt.

NLM definitely has him on the good bloke stakes though

Unfortunately I can't see Natrat getting in the team any time soon. Myers has def taken that utility spot in the side. Kids like Colyer, Merrett, Kommer and Kav will keep getting games ahead of him now. Is an unrestricted free agent at years end too.

Sadly, NLM will retire or get the arse at the end of this year. And nobody will take him at another club.

Because he's no good. Myers is definitely a better player than NLM ever was.

The most annoying thing is that NLM kicked 3 goals on debut - it was all downhill from there.

Ahhh yes back in the days when he thought a drop punt spun forwards

That Dreamtime game Disco dominated a few years back, Myers will never get near that..

Some people are too harsh. NLM has had some great games for the club, and has been very serviceable.

As opposed to "booming left foot". One trick pony who uses that "booming left foot" to deliver the ball down the throat of the opposition and/or the middle of nowhere on a regular basis.

Myers has more upside than Melksham, I guess that's not hard though. Having said that Melksham was one of the best in the VFL this week. I hope they don't bring him back in just yet, an extended run the two's will be good for him.

Been very good the past month or so. Great to see he's improved and has been consistent recently, hopefully he can keep it up.

Yep, apart from an absolute clanger v Bulldogs, his output has been very good.

Nothing impresses me more than a kid who can turn around stinking form - its really not an easy thing to do at this level. I expect him to improve more once he feels wanted in the team and gets his confidence levels up. Frankly if Jake didnt improve further, the level that he is reaching now still places him in our best 22. His challenge is to become a top 10 player.

He was good tonight. He's moving much better than he was last year. Good attack on the ball and the man and nice disposal.

This year JAke has earned his place and showed his potential ... I anticipate that next year will be his breakout year (along with Myers)

May be the final pieces in the jigsaw

Credit where it's due, Melksham has been good for the last month. In fact he's in the best form of his career. Under normal circumstances I would of probably hoped he be out for a while for his hit on Rough head, however I hope he gets off just so he can continue to improve.
