Welcome to the Demonland ... TROY DAVIS

Clearly, Nasher. I'm just pointing out that whilst he clearly isn't up to the grade, saying he looked 'completely lost' at AFL level after a couple of games is a bit silly.

But, he did. How much value you place on him being lost is up to you, but he looked lost.

I don't think he's good enough. Is that phrasing more to your liking?

Probably a bit too left field TD, but nothing wrong with outside the box. It's the proposals everyone scoffs at that can sometimes be the best.

He did seem utterly lost at AFL level though.

While I don't disagree with your last sentence, to be fair he was played forward in those 2 games he played, where as at Casey 99% of the time he was played back.

Fair enough, I'm not in a position to watch Casey to make a judgement on his form. The backline isn't a huge concern for mine. Frawley will be a loss, but even If he leaves, someone like Pedo could slot back in with Hogan to come into the side. Garland too will obviously need to return to something resembling his 2013 form. I would also a suggest that the LAST thing we need is another defender who can't kick.

I don't want to lay the boot into the guy, but I didn't see anything that said he could be an AFL player. I'll leave it to those much wiser to make such a call, but it would be a big one.

I had high hopes for Troy Davis as well. I posted recently on ology that I think he would be worth looking at as a rookie draft prospect if Frawley was to leave. Always seemed to have a bit of mongrel and desire about him, and at 21/22 there is plenty of time to flourish as a KPP. Would likely never be a champ but would be solid backup if required, especially if he was given a limited role or job to do, ala Georgiou.

Some people are very harsh on our young blokes, which is often well founded, but I heard nothing but good things about Troy's attitude and that is one of the most important things you need in your back-up players.

This whole page seems to have become confused. Are we talking about Davis or Barry here??? (hint: thread header says Davis)

I'm just as confused.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
