Yeah or Neah - Matt Dea?
« on: September 21, 2014, 01:55:27 PM »
Yep it's that time of the year for the Yeah or Neah polls  ;D.

First up is Matty Dea who is out of contract.

Matty played 7 AFL games in his fifth year to bring his total games tally to 31. All seven matches came between rounds 10 (vs GWS) to 16 (vs Brisbane). His highest possession game came against the Giants with 17 disposals.

So do we hold onto Dea or trade/delist him?

Very good VFL player, not convinced he will make it but I think it's clear Dimma doesn't rate him so move him on.

Trade him?
And you are the one who constantly thinks everyone overrates our playing list  ::)
He is barely VFL standard and should be delisted.

That's just flat out wrong. He looks a cut above VFL and regularly shuts down dangerous opponents. He needs a string of games in the seniors before being delisted. I think he can make it.

So not rating a player highly and suggesting they be traded is mutually exclusive? Glad that wasn't the school of thought when we traded the likes Graham and Tambling. Try again champ.

Neah!!

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.

have been happy to give him a chance up until now.
hes had 5 yrs and failed to establish himself. he not a tall who could take 5 or 6 yrs to click hes a medium sized defender who really should have delivered by now or at least established himself at afl level.

would delist and move on, one thing i have learnt over the yrs is we hang onto players like matty way too long and limit our ability to find good players.

What chance has he had

FWIW i dont think he will make it but gee so many blokes have hardly had a go

Not at all,  is not rating a player and thinking it isn't obvious is mutually exclusive?
 Hardly likely, particularly when the people responsible for trading work in the AFL industry and are paid to know that in the first place.
If he goes, it will be delisted and his best hope is to be rookie listed but like JON will be on a hope and pray.
Willy, 31 games in 5 years - the facts speak for themselves.

Yeah for me.
Would play him in front of Houli at halfback everyday of the week. Is as hard as a cats head and his kicking and poise with the footy in hand has improved 10 fold.

Remember he was drafted after mainly playing basketball as a junior and was always going to take more time than your normal kid coming out of the TAC.

This may sound stupid but I see a lot of Alex Rance in him. He is a good size and has improved every year and a breakout year next year is in the cards IMO.
Can also play tall or small which is another reason he plays ahead of Houli IMO..
Just play the kid.
