Matt Dea [merged]

[WilliamPowell]

There was a bit more good but there were 2 glaring bad decisions that were costly. One in the 2nd when he went for a mark that wasn't his and it appears he was called out and the 2nd ont he 3rd qtr where got sucked in on the wing which gave Denis-Lane a cheap mark who chipped to Kennedy which gifted the Swans that goal that got them back within 14 points

Most worrying thing is Eddie McEverywhere seems to love him..... wouldnt' want that on my resume 

[TigerTimeII]

Speaking of peanuts, Jackstar seems very quiet on this subject at the moment........,

lmao

No need too, I actually praised him

But I was also just trying to give an example as to why although I can see some improvement from him I still see faults that need to be addressed and that's why I still have these ? ? ? ? ? ?

So I am not allowed to have an opinion?

As for the 2 errors - didn't people on here whack Ellis the other week in just his 5th game for his 1 big error against the Eagles?

So how is giving 2 examples of things that are (again in my opinion) the areas that are still a concern when it comes to his game different from people handing out whacks to Ellis a fortnight ago 

[Hellenic Tiger]

I thought he did some nice things yesterday and for two weeks in a row he has been passable.
After 9 games that's all you can hope for, that the kid keeps on improving.

It's no different to those whacking Ellis. Who said it was?

Of more concern to me is Batchelor 6.  Dea is only a brand new infant in the scheme of AFL things and as Hardwick did with most of his other 'babies', he let them have an extended run in the seniors to get senior games under their belts and learn about the pace and pressure of the game.  That opportunity was denied to Dea to an extent in his first couple of years due to injury and sheer weight of numbers that were getting 'gifted' games for experience but this year with a stated policy of having to earn games it has largely closed the door on those opportunities.  The football department have often stated that they see a lot of potential and upside in Dea and if they believe that, then it's only natural that they are going to give him every opportunity in their efforts to develop him into a senior standard player.  To be honest, I don't have a problem in the world with them doing that because they have to trust and back their judgement, just like they instruct the players to do.  I would rather them try and fail than find out after he goes to another club that he did have the goods and proceeds to carve us up on a regular basis.

[Jackstar is back again]

Would agree with that

When Morris, Grimes and /or Batch run off Dea rotates to that man.  He covered on Darling in the West Coast game (got a couple of very good spoils in from in front), Butcher in the Port game and outbodied Butcher and spoiled from in front.  Something his basketball background provides him with.

In the West Coast game he didn't run off at all.

In the Port game he ran off to the defensive 50 line.

Against the Swans he made it to the wing at least twice.

An astute observor should have picked all of that up.
