Davey

[Cactus 2]

im interested to know what people think of davey's best position on the ground.

personally i am sick of seeing him running around the half back flank/wing area loosing his cool and giving away stupid free kicks like the baker one last night. He has always played his best football deep in the forward line crumming of neitz and robbo, geez, its where we all came to love him and where he finished 2nd in the rising star. So many time last night we had a forward on the lead and no crumming players, where davey's speed would be perfect, instead daniher insits on playing him up the ground where he doesnt attack the ball and tries fancy little tap ons and running around the players where all we need is someone who is hard at it and will take a hit, not try something that looks great if it comes off, but rarely does!

Davey is the main concern but Daniher has made a habit of taking players out of their best postition and 'trying' them somewhere else, which is fine of we are 10 goals up at 3/4 time but not when we are losing. Bruce in the backline, sure it worked once against tarrant but why persist against a player like blake?? Green, midfield or forward please!!

would be nice to see a few players become a bit more settled in their positions, like WJ said in another thread, too many rotations is not a good thing!!

At one point Davey was playing at full back last night.

Stick him in the forward pocket / half forward flank and leave him there.

[WonnaJurah 5]

yeah leave him in the forward area for sure

[demondomination 27]

forward pocket

This has been irritating me for a while.

Flash isn't a player who will win a lot of his own ball up the ground. He should always play deep forward as he is nearly impossible to stop when crumbing at full pelt.

There was a member on here yesterday who suggested that bate be moved forward poickett and i scoffed at the idea. Its not a bad thought tho and with Davey in the other pockett it MAY look better. I think our biggest worry is it doesent matter how many good names u name in the forward (or anywhere on the field), its if they can read the ball and lock the ball in. In the past we have had:

F: Davey Neitz Yze

HF: Green Miller Robbo

They are not bad names and all can kick a goal (except miller), however it seems to me that there are 3 players of thoes who have some way of locking the ball in- Robbo, Neitz and Davey. Pack marks are another issue and last night we had no crummers. The ball was dead for us once it hit the ground. Last night didnt help...this kick to kick stuff allowing saints to flood and god knows its a mirricle if someone can take a mark if there are oposition everywhere not allowing a leading forward. What showed last night also that we never went long to a contest. In the past we have run and carried to the Half Back pockett. Then switched to midfield (centre square area)...held the ball and sent in a long kick to a leading forward or half forward player. We will NEVER win a game this year allowing oposition to flood in our 50 and then when they get the ball run out and obviously there are no defenders for us. Also loose this kicking to one pocket in defence to the other. Several times it was turned over. Some serious questionmarks over where ND plays davey and i would like top see him forward pockett and Bate in the other (which was not my idea...but another members). White should never play forward again as he just cant read the ball and lock it in

He has to stay up forward, especially if our midfield continues to kick over the head of our forwards.

The ball came out of attack last night far too easily. The Saints had all the time in the world to switch and run off.

I'm worried that Davey is thinking that he's too good for the forward line, and he wants to venture into the middle. I hope Daniher doesn't make that mistake though, because Davey is no midfielder.

Could Davey play at FF (like Mark Williams) and have Neitz at CHF? Just a thought. Could work i think but mabey not. What do others think?

[demonfanjezza 1]

Davey's best position is up Forward

No kidding. Gehrig must have $#@% himself.

No.

I have no problem with Davey playing up the ground where his pace and skills can be used in burst to break oppositions open.

If we are losing leaving him in the FP is akin to benching him. A waste.

However, I thought Davey's performance last night was horrible and his attitude no better than the last time we played them.

Kid needs to grow up.

I remember last year when Davey gave away the 50 that resulted in a goal, he was dragged, and stayed off the ground for a whole minute. Neale said after the game that he had never intended to keep him off for long "because he's Aaron Davey".

The attitude he displays at times needs to be nipped in the bud ASAP. Next time he cocks up, take him off and leave him off for the whole quarter. It's harsh and potentially detrimental to the team, but he needs to learn that he can't get away with giving away stupid frees and 50s just because he's the Flash. Otherwise we risk ending up with Yze Mk II.

I totally agree with you

Liked your comment that if he continues the way he acts he will be YZE II

That will be very frustrating

At the moment I think davey's best position with Pickett coming back would be to take Pickett's sandy guernsey.

Forward pocket.

If he matures mentally, and can develop consistency in his game,then maybe he can be moved up the ground to handle the engine room.
