Danny Meyer

[Bulluss]

Sounds great for us!!!!

Really happy that Terry gave him a chance in the seniors as he seems to be really loving it.

He may have been a little disheartened playing at Coburg, but he looks very comfortable playing in our senior line up and hopefully he will remain there for another 10 years.

"I had a contract extension … so I'll be here next year as well, which is a positive and I've really settled in here and I'll probably look to buy an apartment or rent an apartment with a couple of the boys at the end of the year, so I'm enjoying it," Meyer told afl.com.au.

"I love it over here, so I've got no questions in going back, for sure."

Meyer said the homesick factor was no longer a problem although he conceded that it had taken some time to adjust to his new life in Victoria.

"No … I wouldn't say I was really homesick, but I just missed catching up with my mates and family," Meyer said.

"But it takes, I reckon, at least one year to get over that and I'm fine now and I don't have any issues now, but I still don't mind getting back every now and then even though it might be only twice a year but I'm not homesick at all anymore,"

fantastic read! well done danny, u have squashed all rumors and we now believe u will be a tiger 4 life, which is what terry always said, we have to breed our own and keep them

It is understandable for him to have some homesickness in his first year and apparently he was very quiet and didn't socialize much. But he has started to come out of shell this year as far as I can see and is popular at training yet the rumours persisted that he was still homesick and didn't want to be at Richmond.

true, took him time 2 come out of his shell and make friends, but now he has friends and feels at home. well done to patto too, his fab 5 statement is going round the world! now who would want to leave the fab 5!

I'm not at all surprised with it only being a 1 year extension.

With the AFLPA & AFL still working on the pay rise to go into the collective bargaining agreement I cannot see many player managers wanting their players to be signing long term deals

This is great, but can they look at Andrew's contract soon - getting nervous with all this Aker talk

nothing wrong with aker in our team, all we have to do is get rid of duds like tiv, chaff and rodant

meyer would actually benefit from aker being in the team, help his confidence and arogance grow which all guns need

Meyer has a foot/ankle problem and is gone for the year  according to Sauce. Apparently White comes in for him.

Just what we need - more injuries

Sadly Sauce was again right

TIGER Danny Meyer will have to wait until next year to add to his 14 senior games after suffering a foot stress fracture. Meyer, the No. 12 pick in the 2004 national draft, has been replaced in today's side by Matthew White.

Meyer sets out goals

Sportal for afl.com.au

"(I) pretty much just laid out goals for myself and just to come back a bit fitter this year and get a big stronger and obviously get in the right direction for round one," he said.

"I have high expectations of myself, but the coaching staff haven't really put any extra pressure just because the number I was taken at," he said.

Meyer's eighth game, against Geelong, when he collected 19 touches was arguably his best, giving him confidence that he can play at the elite level.

"I played off the backline that day for the first time since about year six or seven. (It was) something different to move outside the forward line as well. So it's just some more options where I can play."

"I don't really emulate anyone ..... But just the work ethic of Kane Johnson and Joel Bowden, players like that, (I) just basically get an idea but I know what's required pretty much."

hope he's better than johnson or else he'll be setting out the witches hats

Danny will be fine once he adds another 5 kgs over this preseason and is allowed to play behind the ball. His foot skills are wasted if he is played up forward especially in the HFF desert. Meyer should be the one delivering lace out passes to our forwards; not waiting for others to kick it to him.

[Mr Magic]

Not convinced at all by Danny Meyer. The least successful player of the "fab five" from my perspective.

Some silky skills sure but will always be a light weight.

Also seems to lack the intensity required at this level.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong but armed with a one year contract, I can see this being his last year at Richmond. ???
