It was a season of ups and downs for Myers in 2012. Injuries restricted him to just 9 games, but when he suited up, the 23 year old had an impact. A strong mark and a big tank that provided the midfield with plenty of run, it was his thumping left boot that not only proved effective at the centre clearances, it also saw him notch number of impressive goals from within the centre square. Myers played a key role in the final quarter comeback against Sydney and was instrumental in the win over Fremantle that ended the Club’s horror record at Pattersons Stadium.

Season by Season

A broken wrist ruled Myers out for five weeks when he finally looked to be settling into his AFL career. A hamstring injury in the second half of the season also interrupted his progress, but the Bombers are happy with his development. Big enough to hold down a key defensive post and has the athleticism to play through the midfield.
