The Davey Train is off the rails

Featured Replies

what are you all talking about he is doing a GREAT job just like DB

Is someone feeling like a bit of a cranky pants just because those meanies started mocking your awful thread?

 

As with most players that come to Melbourne, he has slowly waned into near non-relevance.

Gotta love that! I believe that may be an issue

I have said elsewhere Scully and Co will stay at MFC but only if the team as a whole believes in its own future and wants and works hard for success

It looks to me that they are broken and disunited and couldnt give a stuff. So if good players depart who can blame them

"Now, the "Davey Train" has so badly derailed that he is only the seventh-best player at the Demons for metres gained."

hahahahahaha...this guy is quality.

 

People here are forgetting how well Davey played throught our most recent dark years. He is no front runner, he is just down on confidence and form. Bailey said many times that he wished he had three or four Davey's because he is such a class player. All of those who are bagging him now will jump back on board when he has another purple patch, and he will.

Spot on mate. They can be a fickle bunch round here.

a purple PATCH !! bloody hell for what hes being paid I want Purple seasons !! not bits and pieces :mellow:

I'd just like to see his defensive side back or close to where it once was. Offensively i think he's almost there, with the exception that he short passes way too often IMO. Like him to look up the ground a little more and spot out the longer option for passing too (if the option is on that is). Otherwise i'm happy with short side if he has to (attempted 10 metre pass to Moloney in heavy traffic last week an exception....grrr lol).

But defensively, as an example, I recall going back a year or so he was one of only a few players at the club with the speed,desire,effort required to chase down opponents from behind and cause valuable turnovers. Maybe i've missed it, but he doesn't seem to do this much of late.

It appears now he has morphed into Travis Johnstone.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
