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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
