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.

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 While he can play (though his defensive skills are poor, leaving him outdated), he is a proven flaky character and we're better off without him.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.

He's under Roos and the Swans, arguably the best player culture in the comp. If that isn't the right environment for him, nothing is.

He pretty much tops my "do not want" list.

i know a certain sydney footballer, no names, says Nick Davis is an absolute [censored], does not give a [censored] about anyone but himself, so no thanks!! :blink:

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.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
