This will end well

[tony_montana]

Put his body on the line numerous times, competes well. peeed off thou that the coaching panel threw him in against wce of all sides, the guy needs to rack up the possies at the burgers for half a season and build a bit of inner belief, CLEAR he doesn't truly believe he belongs out there, the guys hardly played footy in his life, ffs why are they pushing him so hard? Way off the pace atm

[Penelope]

yeah, didnt do a lot, but he saved one goal with sheer courage with the flight of the ball.

one thing you not question is his commitment and courage.

who did he play on?

[TigerTimeII]

He bled for us today... Can't fault him at all

Gifted this game by Hardwick despite Hardwick claiming players would be picked on form. A reminder to Hardwick one good match at coburg doesn't mean you deserve a callup.

It wasn't Dea's fault that he got selected.  It would be good to know what the match committee were thinking when they named him.  It just seemed wrong from the outset. It seemed pretty clear that he wouldn't pick up the pace of the game easily and that the back line was too short.

Matt Dea has only played a handful of games for the Tigers, but if his super-tough effort early in the last quarter is to prove a taste of things to come, he'll become a much-respected figure at Punt Road. Dea's moment of extreme courage came when he ran back with the flight of the ball towards Eagles key forward Jack Darling. Dea kept his eyes on the Sherrin, even as Darling leapt in the air and crashed into him. A gasp went around the crowd as the replays were shown on the big screens, but the Richmond fans were soon on cheering loudly when Dea clambered to his feet and jogged from the field nursing a blood nose. He returned to the action only a couple of minutes later.

Got stiffed twice by the umps, Weagle creating a shrug high tackle as Clarkson pointed out last week and two eagles falling on his back which pushed him to ground ump called diving on it HTB

But for a 4th round pick that's played 8 games I expect more 

[yellowandback]

If nothing else proved himself a Dea-votee to the Tiger cause in that last Qtr

[TigerLand]

Saved us a goal with stunning courage.

Can't criticism him after an act like that.

Has a lot of work to do but hats off

Pathetic post.

If you want to single handedly kill the Coach this is the way to do it.
