Matt Dea [merged]

[Jackstar is back again]

agree WP

[Jackstar is back again]

weak as pee gerks.

That's just hogwash and covenient bagging on an easy target.

An argument could be made that the nature boy Ellis isn't showing enough. I saw him shirk a few contests and be completely out of place today.

But you bag an 8 gamer instead. 

This site is a r s e about

[Jackstar is back again]

you are

[Tigermonk]

well can tell you that players that do stupid things get hurt badly, he was lucky today that he never broke his neck

[Dubstep Dookie]

you are

No you are Cochise.

Did I say Cochise? Sorry I meant Richmond reject

[Dubstep Dookie]

Was in the victory room after the game for a drink as well

Having a rum n coke with a D grade celeb you met in traffic?

Now i know why WP bags Dea
He helps Coburg win games and lines your pockets
keep bagging him and there could be a spill LMAO

Lines my pockets 

A spill 

You really are not up with current events my friend actually you're a long long way off   

And if by bag you mean I am critical then yep I suppose I qualify. But I don't think it's bagging but each to their own

Matt Dea again struggled at today at AFL level. I reckon his biggest problem is & continues to be his aboility to read the play, which means he struggles with get to the right spots which means he has few possiessions. Top teams expolit those players that are slow to react to switches in play by using that player in transferring the play; today the Eagles did that through Dea and it can cost you.

Granted Dea gets decent numbers at Coburg like so many other blokes do but when they get up to AFL level they struggle with the pace of the game. Unfortunately Matt Dea is one of those players. Jayden Post gets decent numbers at Coburg too but when he gets up to the AFL he struggles.

I don't care what anyone says but the gap between AFL level and 2nd tier level; whether that is VFL, SANFL or WAFL is massive. Some players are too good for the 2nd tier but not good enough for AFL. I reckon top teams can get away with playing maybe 1 or 2 but other teams cannot

I reckon top teams (and their supporters) give 8 gamers more slack

He reads the game fine at VFL level

Needs more games at the top level, more at a lower level too, simple as that

Another RFC kid shot down before even getting off the mark

 

Can't say i remember you ever spotting a talent and making a positive call on a player early, usually just bash those that are developing. Easy runs there though, so I can see why. 

Jockstrap has made a name for himself in the Victory room out of it 

How many errors did he make tonight?

[Willy]

Gerks in brownlow form.

weak as pee gerks.

just like Dea

should have pulled out of the contest so you didn't have to edit your iPhone tweet from the Victory room 

[Tigermonk]

Gerks

Dont you realize  or not heard AFL coaches say, & l quote have heard this as recently as this last week

                                                              VFL & AFL is miles apart.

The pace of AFL is so much faster that if you cant see that then you should maybe start watching Manchester United more often 

[gerkin greg]

You're right MOnky

I actually wanted Dea delisted after 1 game because he hadnt picked up the pace

Kids these days should be better than that, especially after 6 years in the twos...

Yes he reads the game fine at VFL - I agree with you but today it was AFL level today and he again struggled.

I also agree he needs more time at VFL level I don't actually think he's played that much VFL when you think about it - he hardly played last year because he was injured and then when he did they basically rushed him back and the season before he was injured as well .... so maybe mroe time learning the game is what he needs... seeing he came from a basketball background

Can't say i remember you ever spotting a talent and making a positive call on a player early, usually just bash those that are developing. Easy runs there though, so I can see why. 

Hmmm .... let me see Conca, Batchelor, Reiwoldt, Vickery .. oh and there was a some bloke called Rance that alot of people potted until last year and I backed him from the start so yep I reckon all I've done is bash them all over the years



Edited: remembered a few more

Disclaimer: Not a Dea fan. Also didn't go to the game. I normally go with my dad but he spent the day at the hospital since his missus is pretty crook.


Before the game, Cometti I think it was, commented that this was probably the best side we've fielded all year and my first reaction was  . I started to agree by the end. I know the time of gifting games to blokes has gone, but I wouldn't mind seeing Dea with a few more games pumped into him while the side is playing better than last year and the backline is showing a little more cohesion and solidarity. He didn't get a touch and I think his first two or three involvements were giving away frees, but he isn't afraid to chuck his body on the line, could probably play slightly taller than he is, but it looks like it unleashes Ellis who appears more natural up the ground and Batchelor looked far more comfortable clunking grabs and setting up rebounds.

I've looked and looked at Dea play and still can't see why the club like him so
much. Why they gave him number 7 I have no idea.
