Finding that confidence in himself will decide Meyer's future. He has the polish and I see him as a Leon Cameron type. Keep the faith :thumbsup.

You seem to think he'll add five kilos, maybe in five years!
He's a stick figure carrying a football. Not his fault, just his metabolism.

Very few players his build make it. Although with more emphasis than ever on low contact football, perhaps he's a chance.  :P
I still question his desire. Even the way he answers the questions in that interview doesn't fill me with confidence.

Happy to be proven wrong!!

Skill wise I think he is excellent but I do worry about his size. In 2006 he still got pushed off the balll too easily and and didn't land to many tackles (one on one) that really stuck.

Would like to see him put on at least 5-10kgs  ;D

Plough should give Danny 22 games running of half back with some time on a wing. He'll be a sensational player. The only player out of the supposed fab 5 that I have reservations about at this stage is Pattison.

Danny put on 6kgs (70 to 76kg) last preseason so hopefully he can repeat that this summer. I don't see him as another Fiora.

yup, cant agree more. He should be the highest tackler and possession getter, shouldnt be getting pushed off the ball easy and should weigh 90plus kg.

This year is make or break for this 19 year old boy or he's a gonna  :outtahere

Meyer's 20 actually.
I'm assuming your line of thinking is just because they are kids they should get a walk up start.
Meyer was only given a 1 year extension on his contract, if you don't think he's under pressure this year you are kidding yourself.

The big questions are what role in the team can he make his own?
Does he have the body size to be effective as an AFL player?

As a small player he's under more pressure than some others..

These questions will be answered somewhat this year. I'll watch with interest and obviously I wish him well. 8)

Danny Meyer - Tradebait?
« Reply #101 on: June 19, 2007, 05:41:50 PM »
Reading the press release of the Tambling contract extension today, it was notable that Danny Meyer's name was absent from the group of youngsters mentioned as in the process of resigning for the club.

The Club also wishes to advise that agreements have been reached with other young players, Cleve Hughes, Adam Pattison, Travis Casserly and Luke McGuane, and they are set to sign new deals.

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArticle/tabid/6301/Default.aspx?newsId=45217

Whilst still only speculation, given that his contract expires at the end of this season and he is languishing in the reserves it must now be getting very likely that Danny will not be with the Tigers in '08.

As a number 12 draft pick, after three seasons he has been extremely disappointing
particularly for one who seems to have some skill but appears to lack the desire.
What would be a reasonable return for the club for this player assuming any other clubs are interested in him?

Personally I would think about a third round draft pick or a swap for a player that suits our requirements such as Meesen.

What do others think...

Seriously don't think anyone would trade for him - has shown nothing ...... but potential, but what does that mean  ??? when u don't produce it .... funny one DM

We have persisted with these types over the years 2 no avail, so what does that tell you ....

NB: Sort of knew D rod would do OK elsewhere, it's just the landscape .... and sort of proof if we step up some players will surprise  :thumbsup
