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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Didn't bother Lennie Hayes to much.

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.

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
