I was pretty impressed by this guy.

His career has been thwarted badly by injury. I don't know if he's over it.

He showed incredible ,Viney-like ,desperation in the games I saw him.

Essendon  have to delist some players who might have the goods to fit in all the returning banned players.

Have any other Demonlanders noticed him? Does anyone know if he's over his injuries?

    Great.... you obviously have watched Kommer closely, and are so sure he's not up to it you can ridicule my post.

    Please fill me in with what you've noticed about him.

    I think we should put a full stop to this thread

    Sorry, couldn't help myself.

    I can think of a myriad of reasons as to why I think he'd be a pointless signing.

    If you're recruiting him believing that he'd be best 22, where are you playing him and who makes way for him?

    Secondly, if you're recruiting him as 'depth', do you believe that he is better depth than those players we've just released who play similar roles? (Jones, Terlich and Michie).

    Thirdly, the bloke used to have dreads.

    To answer the OP: Yes he had great desperation and was a good scrappy pressure forward for a while there in 2013.

    But then has had 2014 and 2015 wrecked by injury and did very little this year.

    I'd like to add a pressure forward to our list but not an injury prone 26 year old with poor skills, limited ability to get the ball and limited flexibility to play any other position.

    None of them are perfect but Garlett, Kennedy, Harmes and Vandenberg all offer far more than Kommer and there's no desperate need to add another depth player to that group.

    Just watched his highlights he is/was a tenacious player,  good runner with speed bit of a Ben Kennedy type. Not sure of his age now

    Can we just have one thread titled "Other club's delisted players that we shouldn't touch"?

    Then we can have the one place for Nyuon, Kommer, Green, Everitt, Clark and anyone else, and save thread space.

    Thanks Dee spencer

    I didn't realise he's 26.

    I thought he was about 22.

    I guess all the knowledgeable detractors knew that.  I was seeking information, so I should have checked Wikipedia.

    I reckon he'll go well in the WAFL.

    Always check the AFL player ratings when discussing a player. They aren't always perfect but they'll give you their age and a pretty good understanding of where a player is at in their career.

    My father in law is an Essendon man, so naturally when we talk footy it's all about essendon. 

    He said he was a good tackler and handy defensive forward but lacked the tools required to be a small forward in the AFL. his vfl season was poor, when competition for spots in the senior side were at an all time low.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
