Aaron Davey is a very good player - nearly as good as Leon Davis - we wouldn't want to lose him.

Hmmmm...would rather we sign him for two. You just never know what will happen in a few years time. He is at the peak of his powers right now, but would have thought 2 years was fair for a bloke who has had a lot of injuries and known to go missing,

his manager has played this beautifully in the press.

No. It sounds like he would walk on a two year deal and quite rightly so. A four year deal could even have been considered as the last would have Flash on the veteran's list....

Wouldnt hesitate to offer him a 4 year deal.

I cant wait to see this said officially on our site

Interesting that he just came off a 3 year deal - first 2 years ordinary, last year his best - probably just a coincidence.

Would you put any performance incentives in this 4 year deal of yours?

just had a mate of mine who has some contacts at Essendon tell me he's heard direct swap, McVeigh for Davey...

I laughed at him... 26 year old at the peak of his powers, for a 29 year old booze hound who is over the hill? There's no way we'd consider that trade.

Look forward to this announcement of Davey signing on for 3 years...

Stated on SEN this morning -Greg Denham says Davey has agreed to sign a 3 year deal in the next day or so.

I respect Denham as a journalist, so I've now dispelled thoughts of Davey leaving. Hopefully the news comes in the next few days that he's re-signed. On the back of Sylvia and Wonna signing up, it would end up being a pretty good week for the club.

I'm sure collingwood supporters would say this as well.

DAVEY>DAVIS

Absolutely no way Collingwood supporters would say Davey's better than Davis. Just wouldn't happen.

Despite that, Davis is the worst All Australian I've ever seen.

You sure on this Benny?

Love you if you are.

Ooo to avoid being caught up on a technicality, I got mail direct from a source at the club that he "agreed" to sign a 3 year deal this morning. Whether he's actually signed, cant confirm. I'd be surprised if it wasnt announced today or early next week by the club

Davis is only good when Collingwood are on fire. He has rarely if ever performed in a big game.

Davis has the worst GF record of any player in the competition.

In 2002 is was on the field for 98% of game time for 1 possesion. In 2003 he played 100% of the game for 3 possessions.

In the last 3 perliminary finals he has also been virtually unsighted. Sure he comes good from time to time when his team is up by 5 goals, playing at home, but his magical abilities don't come out when they are most required in the matches that count. If he did not play for Collingwood he would not have been given All Australian honours.

He is a chocker, in the Greg Norman mold.

Davis has certainly been a disappointment in finals - he has averages 15 possession in his last 8 finals over the past 3 years.

What's Davey's finals record like?

Rumour true

Davey is speaking to other clubs whether he'll leave that is unclear.

Source: 9 news

Whilst it is believeable, upon reflection, I think this is still just a rumour. All 9 are doing is reporting a rumour. They're apart of the media, it's what they're all about.

Greetings all,

Wow, what an interesting week in the life of the MFC. And to think I almost missed it all!

Firstly, Greg Denham is one journo who almost always has his finger on the pulse where the Demons are concerned. The delays in finalising Aaron's contract were understandably over length of time - one of the important sticking points in contractual dealings at this level these days along with the money.

Secondly, it's inconceivable that the Flash would walk on this club where he has such an investment of his own in terms of his heritage and his people. Remember the Aaron Davey Scholarship which was instituted at his own suggestion? I think that all would be far too important for someone like Aaron to walk away from and to suggest otherwise would be an insult to what he has been doing at the club.

Finally, I commend the club on the way it handled the Brock McLean situation. I'm sure Brock will be a good servant of the Carlton Football Club and will fit in nicely in that environment while Melbourne received exactly what it wanted. In today's trade and draft climate it's not easy to snare an extra first round draft pick. At this point in time, the club has now done that twice in three years. Nobody else has done that even once.

Let's have a little less hysteria and some more thought and understanding at this time of year!

Great post, Oracle. Agree, on all accounts.

He's a far better player than Davis. Davis gets touches when his team is running all over a weaker opposition. A front runner some would call him. This year, we saw that Aaron was able to generate play single handedly and have seen it numerous times. Flash may not be a big game player, but Davis has one of the worst finals records of all time. But I suppose that's a prereque for playing in a Pies jumper.;) Furthermore, if Davis was at any other club besides Carlton or Collingwood he wouldn't be half as overrated as he is.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
