If you have concerns over them, or if you think they're just plain no good, then there is room.

No, there still isn't room, for the simple reason that there's no room on our list for a 27 year old player who just isn't any good.

This discussion would only have merit if Alwyn Davey could play AFL football. But he can't. So this discussion is a ridiculous waste of time.

Does it ever occur to some that a change of scenery may be beneficial for a players development and improvement?

I'm not sure the one's who are all for Alwyn coming to MFC are saying that we should get him because his surname is Davey.... Maybe a 10 year old would be of that camp, but I am not sure how many 10 year olds have accounts on this forum.

I'm not sure Joel Mac is an amazing backman, but we picked him up and he has done pretty well.

If we could pick up Alwyn for basically nothing than I would be pretty happy.

Alwyn seems a confidence player. Is highly skilled regardless of what some say and would help Wonna rather than hamper him as long as they are both selected.

Would be a handy pickup if he stays injury free and if it wouldn't cost us much.

I said in the Cam Bruce / Gold Coast thread that there is no room for sentiment in modern list management. Same principle applies here.

It's a no from me 2. I'd rather they use the few picks they have for young talent not players 26+, unless they're a proven gun and

Alwyn's no winchester.

Not a winchester, barely a spud gun.

He's got some speed, but he's a very unreliable kick, injury prone, old and doesn't really find much of the footy.

In fact besides getting a handful of tackles in the forward line, he doesn't do much at all.

I know forward-line pressure is all the rage, but we need more from our small forwards.

At this stage I rate all of Maric, Bennell, Wona and Jetta ahead of Alwyn.

That won't likely change.

He's also soft.

But at least he'd be able to run down Watts at training and the coaches could replay the vision over and over and over again. Couldn't they ?

Alwyn Davey's bio from the Essendon Website:

He will be closing in on 27 years at the start of next year and is averaging a little under 14 games a season with injury problems in each year which suggests some brittleness in the body. Worth considering but not at a particularly high price to the club.

Pass for me.

    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,
