Alwyn Davey wants out

[Stigga 25]

According to SEN this morning...

Would we be interested?

Could be the small, quick defenisive forward we don't really have.

Could be the small, quick defenisive forward we already have too many of.

edited for you.

edited for you.

Who else is there besides Wonaemirri with Davey's speed?

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Like Wonna???

Honestly, MFC is not a family repatriation depot.

Pass.

Pass.

Not suggesting this at all.

Quick defensive forwards are just about as important as contested ball winners in this era.

I'm not suggesting we should do this, rather posing the question.

I assume from your response RR that you would be dissapointed should we elect to trade for him.

I wouldn't be surprised if we offered him a chance. Although not of the same quality as Aaron, his defensive pressure is just as good. Not a necessity, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Agree with you Rhino, I think we have the better one of the two.

It would want to be a very good deal for the MFC !

This is the sort of deal we would have done in the bad old days.

No for mine.

Davey for Maric?

We already have Wonna in that role.

What would you offer given the number of players we are delisting and the rookies we are elevating?

Is he a critical get for us?

Think about it.

if Alwyn requested a trade to melb i would be keen...so what if we have plenty of players like him...the more the merrier...

[titan_uranus 23,252]

No.

Wouldn't even be a priority if Alwyn Davey was a half-decent player.

Thank god us members have no say in recruitment haha!

Do you think Wonna will be more effective as a defensive small forward come 2011?

I'm not so sure.

Either way having Wonna and Alywn fully fit and up and about wouldn't be a bad thing. Pace kills. We only have to look back to the Sydney match for that.

every year there is a tough call made for a player to miss out on a grand final spot...in past years these players would walk into the melb line up!

So does poor disposal.. we only have to look at McPhee in the Dockers match for that.

Pace is good but any footballer's positives are crushed immediately by poor disposal. We are not recruiting a player for forward pressure only. If we were we would probably be interested, but alas we arnt.

Think about it.

1. Ok so Wonna's in that role. As such that role is already full, so no one else can perform that role?

2. Hypothetically (not that I necessarily would want to mind you) third round pick or second round pick at the most (considering that pick will be around the 30 mark.)

3. No he is not critcal. Would he improve our forwardline? You don;t believe so. I ask you would he be detrimental to our forwardline?

4. I have thought about it.

Davey for Maric?

Would be good, but I do not see Essendon go for this.

Bennell. Jetta. Maric.

It's not just Wonna.

If the basis for drafting someone is that they wouldn't be detrimental then an argument could be made for taking basically anyone.

The fact is we don't need a small forward, and Alwyn Davey isn't even that good.

[dazzledavey36 49,827]

i think we would all love to see bennell play as the running defender and free up davey into the midfield with alywyn and wonna do crumb off watts and jurrah.. theres a bit off jizz factor there..

One thing lost in the equation is that most people just assume Alwyn Davey has great skills, I guess because Aaron does.

He doesn't.

In fact Alwyn's skills are almost sub-par.

Not good enough for the position he plays on the field.

A forward pocket should kick like... like... Wonaeamirri?

[Stigga 25]

Bennell. Jetta. Maric.

I question whether Bennell, Jetta or Maric have played that role consistently at all.

In relation to drafting someone detrimental to the squad i was perhaps being too flippant.

We don't need another small forward and Alwyn Davey isn;t that good is of course your opinion. I may agree with you.

I agree, I believe his skills are questionable, epecially under pressure.

Isn't Alwyn also 26 years old..?

Yes he is
