Alwyn Davey wants out

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.

    Q: why has no one on this forum proposed that we trade for Jake King?

    A: because his brother does not play for the MFC.

    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.

    For those putting Davey/ Maric and Jetta into the hat, remember our youth policy B)

    Alwyn Davey 27 next year

    Maric 21

    Jetta 21

    What Davey has that Maric, Jetta and Wona don't is pure speed.

    Didn't know he was 27. Davey for Maric.

    He's not that fast.

    And what Wonna has that Davey doesn't is an ability to impact on a game.

    I'm not exactly what you'd call a 'Maric fan', but if getting Davey meant losing Maric (which it wouldn't, but anyway) I'd stick with Maric.

    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.

    You know what I meant. And if you don't, then I'll spell it out for you:

    Alwyn Davey sucks. He really, truly, sucks.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
