Danny took a one year contract extension last year and hasn't done anything this year to be rewarded with another. I'm surprised we haven't tried him in another possie this year. He just can't consistently get enough of the footy on a HFF even at VFL level. Throw him in the middle, down back or whatever for a couple of games. We might as well try something over the next 11 weeks.

May as well try and keep him for another year or two.

I don't think we'd get much at all in a trade so we may as well keep hold of him and do what MT suggested and move him around at Coburg a bit more.

Funnily enough, reading Craig McRae's report on the Frankston game, he said that Danny played as a tagger and kept his man to 10 touches and said it was worth perservering with him in that role. Good signs.

The boy needs a kick up the arse for him to realise his talent and actually apply it.

I saw that too jezza so we have started to try him in different positions which is good to see. Still even a tagger needs to find the footy while limiting his opponent. Maybe that's the idea. Get him to be dragged along to the footy where he can then use his skill. We're not short of taggers though.  Jacko has been given the main tagging role in the seniors of late. Sugar, Hyde, Polo have had roles in recent times. Our midfield needs more ballwinners not taggers.

Miller said today that there'll be no other new contract annoucements until the end of the season so you'd presume Danny is one of the ones on a knife's edge given all his peers are signed up.

Next up is Danny Meyer. He played 6 games in his debut year followed by 8 in 2006. Signed a one-year extension this time last year. Only managed 3 matches this year - the Geelong annihlation then dropped, then against Adelaide and in the dreamtime game. Averaged just 5 possessions. Danny played most of the year for Coburg before injurying his knee a month ago.

Do we persist with Danny or let him go?

He is not worth Jack, so if we have a spare spot may as well sign him up 1 year minimum wage.
Let him play at Coburg for another year and see if he can show something.

I know in the past we have hung on to these types toooooo long but wtf

One of the tougher ones :-\

No doubting his ability and talent but seems to just want to coast along

If you cannot trade him for something decent - I'd be keeping him.

Why........ I have absolutely no idea  ;D
