The Davey Rumour.

[Paul Prympke 14]

The rumour mill is in overload at the moment, does anyone have any light to shed on the issue of Davey wanting leave the club also?

[Toot182 7]

Seems strange...least of all what would we do with these "New Arrivals"

I assume you mean the 'Davey Youth Tee'? Not the retro shirt?

Valid point, but still, things like this can happen within a matter of hours, they would've had that planned months.

Yep, too true...on both counts

this from twitter...hopefully it helps to calm all of the hysteria

[rpfc 27,646]

Put it this way: if Davey goes, and cites a lack of direction/game plan/problems with Bailey as reasons, how will you feel? I would have to try hard to stop myself from apportioning the blame entirely on Bailey.

I am not going to get my ire up over a hypothetical.

We need to settle and deal with what is in front of us, not what our pathetic MFC-supporter negativity says is in front of us.

I am including myself in that group.

We must overcome.

My mind is leaning towards Mclean being subtly pushed.

Not as worried about Davey as I was last night, quite the hormonal human apparently.

Nothing gets done this quickly without all parties wanting it on some level.

DB told him he would play a periphery role (same as TJ), Carlton were interested, he would like to play in a more successful team...

All leads to 'auf wiedersehen'.

[45HG 1,539]

I agree with whoever said the clubs should be congratulated for not [censored]-footing around and going for what they wanted - Redleg, I'm getting close to taking back what I said.

[Rogue 585]

I cant believe the people thinking we could cover the possible loss of Davey!

He was Bloody amazing this year and is improving parts of his game onfield and off every year!!!!

I have tried to twitter Shwabby a number of times to put our minds at ease and to say Davey is going nowhere as he has a number of times if people ask him the same question he answers it! Anyone who has twitter should do the same and see if he replies.

Good work. I can't imagine anything I'd want Schwab doing more than having to deal with a swarm of tweets from angsty fans.

Honestly, if the Club has signed up Davey they'd announce it. Do you think they're too lazy to mention the new contract but will suddenly get onto it because you tweet the CEO?

I don't really understand where you're coming from (apart from 'oh noes, we might lose Davey').

Where's the fun in that? It's much more fun to whip ourselves in to an hysterical frenzy without having any facts at all at hand other than a few good rumours here and there.

Demonland in the last 24 hours has reminded me of 'Lemmings' a bit. Everyone just following each other off the same cliff to their deaths. We need one of those 'blocker' dudes that stand there with their arms out shaking their heads.

[45HG 1,539]

I'll do it coach...Oh, wait, it sounds like a negative role.

ZING. Off to talkingcarlton. Play on

It is clearly a time of crisatunity.....

[jumbo returns 6,547]

Am I the only one who couldn't care less about (potentially) Davey leaving?

Pick #11 for McLean is an absolute winner!

Offer Davey to Coasters or Shockers for pick #4 or #5.

Come on, think about having so many picks in the last legitimate draft for a while.

Bring it on, I say!

[Dannyz 2,345]

Yes you would be the only one who couldn't care.

your a [censored], how do you create loyalty if everybodys up for trade.

[Choko 493]

Trust me Mclean was pushed.

Please read my post #382 in the McLean thread.

Crap. Simply made up.

[Guest Digga]

Mclean okay! But Not Davey. We need him and it will put a sour taste in suppoters mouths.

Oh...so cool calm and collected you are. Who are you to judge? Get off your high horse and stop trying to make youself something more then you are.

Nothing wrong with people saying how they feel when they hear certain news.

You're a (censored)! Footy is a business, (censored)! Loyalty? Maybe they'll 'Bomb it long' one day too!

Get your head out the sand, you (censored) clown.

it mite be another 30 yrs before we win a flag, but memberships not an option ladys.

I would be surprised if Davey left. On the other hand the club may think he will not be around for the next tilt at a premiership. If so and they think they can snare a VERY GOOD player with the draft pick received that will make a difference during the next tilt at the premiership then perhaps its a strategy worth a try.

In Brock's case he is not quick and the rate at which the game is getting faster the game may go past him in 3 years anyway.

Davey IMO is worth pick 2 - 5 at least.
