Is Davey Injured or not.

Whats happened to the run, the chase downs,penetrating kicking.

If not injured needs to take alook at his game.

it stopped when his head was slammed into the turf of the MCG.

Not just talking about today

I heard his shoulder's crook, which would explain his past few games.

Today he got his nose busted for his efforts.

He struggles with a tag. He probably could work a bit harder to get into the game but he does need his team mates to help him out.

well in that case, yeah, he has been poor by his standards... Maybe they should play him out of the back again.

Didn't stop him from putting a bump on in his first contest instead of the smother he should have made! Must have been his good shoulder. Very poot game but he wasn't alone there.

I'd agree with the tag call, but I disagree with the second. So often (particularly over the past 2 or 3 seasons) it's been painfully obvious that he's the only one creating and that all his team mates have needed him to spark them. He's not playing behind the ball like he did last year. It's simple really. He's spending the majority of games in the forward half, where he doesn't necessarily have the room to be as creative (hence his little dinky passes). I'd try starting him on a wing next week.

His little dinky passes has really peed me off this year.. so far.

.. so far.

Just wait

Playing with a broken nose will often take the zip out of your game

Didn't bother Lennie Hayes to much.

You can throw Sylvia into this thread as well. What the hell is going on with him? Is he injured or just out of form?

You mean the same guy who hurt his knee, played out the next 2 quarters then required a reconstruction?

Bad thread IMO.

Copped a knock to the head and didn't look right to me when he came back on (after spending time off the ground trying to recover).

I'm not a fan of the little dinky short passes he tries to pull off to often, but he's not as big a problem as Sylvia atm.

and complained of a migraine after the knock..

it has not been just this week he has been off, i personally think he has mental issues with his hamstring, and that stops him from kicking through the ball, in fear of tearing it again

The chase downs that he was famous for, are few and far between nowadays. He still does it, but no way near as frequent. Perhaps he is smarter or reserving energy for the pill ? Perhaps it's a part of everyone's package and Davey has been asked to conserve energy ? Or, is he taking a back seat now and again ? What is happening there ? Or, has he lost a yard or two ?

Those chase downs were inspiring for his teammates, still are when he applies it. Opposition players were always looking over their shoulder fearful of being stalked by Davey and his pressure.

Given our current depth I think it would be appropriate for Davey to have "general soreness" - I think we should start thinking about regularly resting some players so that minor niggles dont progress into major problems.

I agree I think there were 3 times on Sta when he was at 50 and didnt shoot for goal instead sought a hit up and turned over the ball.

I dont see him really turn on the afterburners like he once did. I say let him have a week or two off.

No. There is no way that Aaron would miss the game in Darwin unless he was physically unable to play. If you have heard him talk about his family and friends and the inspiration that AFL is to aboriginal men and women that they can achieve and that he wants to be part of that inspiration. He often talks about his friends who could have made it in the AFL but succumbed to drugs and alcohol. I would like to see Aussie play with Aaron and Jamie and maybe even Neville and I also hope that the Club take Liam up to the game as well. I want everyone to see what an inclusive club we have become under Jimmy.

Davey will play in Darwin for sure. He would kick himself if he missed this one.

Agree with others, you should be more concerned with the likes of Sylvia and his current form. Not the Davey train.
