    Davey the new chopper?

    He looks massive in that photo!

    But they all do this time of year I guess, except for Cale that is.

    Yes good pick up, he does look like he has seriously bulked up or they had the muscle-up lens on the camera. It will be interesting to see the changes in bodies over the pre-season.

    Never hurt Ben Cousins and he had bigger guns than that... not by much though, from the looks of Davey in that photo.

    Yikes.

    Yes but Cousins can actually play inside as well as Outside, I have my questionmarks re Davey.

    I think Wonnaemirri is a better footballer than Aaron.

    We'll see how Aaron goes this coming season, as we are gathering more & more talented players each passing draft.

    I'd imagine he was told to put on muscle to help address this exact problem.

    He gets pushed off the ball too easily and cant lay a front-on tackle. If bulking up helps him improve in these areas (and they're a pretty serious problem, to be honest) then I'm all for it.

    I wish him good luck.

    so we still want the quick and agile Davey to be pushed off the ball, to play a 'sweep up the ball' role and receiver type, which does little to help us win, when we are getting beaten.

    It would be handy if he could hold his own in a physical contest at least, otherwise he can be a liability. I think the fastest bloke in the league won't be lacking pace even with a few extra kilos.

    I somehow feel Davey will be twice as valuable when we get back up the ladder, and the team is flying along. Remember he was playing well in his first couple of years when we were playing well.

    exactly...and he didnt have all of the muscle, was tiny back then

    that is the davey i want back

    playing the cyril rioli role

    OR, if anything, i remember daniher saying that he wanted davey to be on the wing...so lets put him there as an outside player if they no longer want him to be a forward pocket(and definately not ever an inside player)

    his delivery skills can at times be as good as anyones, so if he is not in the forward line, he should be on the wing

  • Quote

    I believe that Davey's best footy was played in the forward 50......and a return to that position will also bring back form.

    By the way...any chance to see some photo's from training today?

  • Quote

    I wouldn't have thought bulking up Davey's upper frame would take away his speed or agility. I'm pleased if he has improved his strength. He'll be able to hold his tackles...

    Hussain Bolt didn't lose any speed when bulking up! :D

    I attended training this morning - a beautiful day.

    It was interesting that neither Brent Moloney nor Colin Silvia were at training.

    The group looked good. Brock Mclean looked to still be recovering; Aaron Davey hasn't looked like he lost any pace.

    I'm excited about Neville Jetta. His speed and skills were outstanding.

    If Cale Morton has put on any weight it must be on his small toe! Though it doesnt worry me, if he has another season like 08' I'd be happy.

    I will post photos tonight!

    Thanks Dexter.......not worried about Cale.....i didn't start bulking up untill i was around 19 - 20.

    Randomly staying on the topic of Davey, I had a dream last night that our Flash became most dominant player in the AFL.

    A good dream indeed! :D

    We also have the benefit of being able to look at his brothers, and how their bodies developed. While not a rule, it can sometimes show us a little about how a kid is going to develop if we look at brothers of similar height...

    I'm not expecting Cale to even begin to look like a man until he's over 21... For now I'd be happy if he developed the mental/skill side of his game...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
