Just wondering what your thoughts are on Nick Davis

obviously a lot of conjecture going on about him but I believe given the right environment and a coach who cares he could be a valuable asset to our club. A lot of people will have negative things to say however he is on his last chance and he knows it which makes me think he may pull his head in under bails' guidance. Anyway cant be worse than John Meesen.

    On his day, close to the most effective player in the AFL.

    To old now though, and to indiscipline, lazy & un-comitted.

    2-3 years ago yes, now no.

    Davis is exactly the sort of miscreant soul we can do without at Melbourne when Bailey is trying to establish a strong culture. While he can play (though his defensive skills are poor, leaving him outdated), he is a proven flaky character and we're better off without him.

    Anyway cant be worse than John Meesen.

    I believe he can. Meesen is just embarrassingly below AFL standard and will be gone when his contract expires without any hullaballoo. Davis could come in and negatively influence those around him.

    Definitely no thanks! Can't see that he would add any value.

    Didn't somebody (Greg Swann?) who is now at Carlton but was once at Collingwood say that Nick Davis was a "bad character" or something along those lines????

    We are in a rebuilding phase and therefore need YOUTH! Nobody over 23.

    Too old to fit in to our plan, and even if it was a few years ago, I wouldnt bring in someone with a proven poor attitude

    Among the tossers of the game he ranks more highly that Tredrea, Farmer, Chad Cornes and Fevola.

    He is in the supertosser league and will be discarded forever at years end.

    When he played at Collingwood, he was home sick ...wanted to go back to Sydney. So if he came back down here, the same thing would reoccur. I know this as a fact, because I know his ex girlfriend. And she never went with him back to Sydney.

    At Collingwood for the year he was there they nicknamed him " Harvey Norman"......12 months and no interest!

    Wouldn't be remotely interested. Would also be competing for a spot which Aussie is and/or Maric could be occupying which would work against their long term development.

    Scott or Adam?

    Ah!!!!!!!! see I was being careful there, co's I am not sure. The better of the 2????

    Apparently there was talk that whichever one wants out, was going to be used as trade bait by WC, plus draft picks, to get Fev.

    However, given the breeding of the Selwoods, if the there ended up being no "Fev" deal, I reckon it would be still worth a sniff.

    Just reading the title of this thread made me cringe.

    Nick Davis is long past his use-by date. Absolutely not a person we should ever consider. I reckon he's played 2 decent games of footy in his career.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
