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.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
