Myers for me. Nuh, not being buyest (I think that's how you spell it), Myers won the Barassi Medal at the under age Australia vs. Ireland series, and has great leadership qualities. Rance is not far behind though, you should be rapt with your team's selections.

cheers.

Myers is not a defender in any sense of the word. Think of him like David Mundy, thats it. He's a rebounding HBF.

I call Myers a defender, a rebounding HBF with decent pace that can take a good mark. He's got good size for a defender, can take a great mark and leads by example. I don't expect him to be playing on the last line of defence, but I do expect him to playing at around HB.

[Brades]

Yeah but you won't ever find him playing on a forward of his height (aka the likes of Riewoldt, Gehrig etc), he will play loose man ,therefore he is not a defender.

Sam Fisher like?

[Brades]

Yeah but better in every way.

[cormick]

ah nice.
could be a handy pick up.
