Well really disappointing game from Davey today, you would expect him to be up and about given it is indigenous round.

Vice captain, elder statesman and one of the highest paid players at the club.

He has always been very weak mentally and could never deal with a tag.

Today he took it to new heights, he squibed a massive contest which resulted in a goal and then feigned an injury for the remainder of the match.

On top of this gifted St Kilda the first goal of the last quarter with an undisciplined act which gave away a 50.

What hope do our youngsters have when you have Davey as your vice captain?

Leading teams is a crock and is simply a popularity contest, the coaches should be selecting the leadership group.

Was the most disgraceful performance I've ever seen from a vice-captain. Really killed it for the rest of the boys who for the most part had a real crack but lacked the poise and skill to finish of the good work in the third quarter that could have seen us in front heading into the last

Can we offload Davey to GWS? Would give us a whole lot of cap space and we can use his "leadership" as a bargaining chip? Chuck in a second rounder for one of their first round draft picks...

Couldnt agree more Rhaz....

He needs to go now as this will enable us some extra cash to keep others.

He is not a leader and frankly we wouldnt miss him at all...

Davey has a real impact with our indigenous boys. Davey is a leader for the brotherhood and the general side. It was no surprise to see Jurrah have a poor outing. Jurrah and the boys really feed off our indigenous leader, and Davey did little to inspire the boys today.

I hope this is a one off from Aaron, who is still a class player at this level. A week for him to cool his heels at Casey might be nice, but we are not in a position to demote with the monster injury list that we have.

With the season in the balance, we need our leaders to lead. Seems like the only leaders we have week in and week out are Sylvia and Moloney.

We have just watched this side drop 2 games to non-finals teams. This season is starting to look like it is going to be another embarrassment for the club.

Very poor to say the least. Schoolboy stuff from a senior.

When we needed him to stand up for the club as as a senior leader, he decided it was a little too much and took 3 backward steps + a squibb that effectively cost us 12 points! Even a first gamer would have shown more spirit and effort than Davey did today. And he did....Evans. Casey from next week and trade bait at end of year please for a forward who knows how to take a big grab and kick goals under a little or a lot of pressure. Our forward line stinks and we could have won (emphasis on could) had we had a decent mark/goal kicker down there who can read the play/ball and lead when required as well. Not one amongst the lot today.

Don't wont or need this type of player at the Club. Enough of the soft touch "outside" players running around on our list already.

This crap on indigenous day too. Where's the pride??

Thanks Aaron but no thanks

What about his other games this year? Are they one-offs?

I'm not buying into this "Davey' is the leader of the indigenous boys and therefore can't be dropped" line anymore.

If they are looking to him for any kind of leadership we are in massive trouble. He is as weak as water.

one of the most disappointing moments of the game, didn't commit himself properly and put a lazy one arm up for the contest

made me cringe

This ^^^^^^ he has had one good game, nothing amazing though, If there has even been a dropped man walking it should be Davey such a weak effort, He is our Vice Captain...

Exactly: Is this the impact we need, all the other Indigenous boys have offered bugger all this season.

Yep was a weak act and the fact he did not try and redeem himself.

Weak at the contest, weak in his effort, weak anytime a some one comes close to him, no mental toughness.

I'm so over Davey not putting the effort in. No wonder so many others don't try hard enough when one of our leaders shows absolute no guts.

Posted

I can't believe someone this mentally weak is on the "leadership group". Unbelievable. He squibbed contests, gave up and feigned an injury.

Disgraced the jumper.

You can't believe it but you stated the following just over a year ago:

"Between Green and Davey for mine.

I'd like to see Davey get it as I love the romance of an Aboriginal player captaining the Australia's oldest footy club to it's next premiership."

How's that romance going?

Classic example of the fluctuation opinions of Demonland posters.

Nice get. I did certainly once hold that opinion.

Clearly not anymore.

*Note - I have to add I'm getting some serious 'stalker' vibes that you've gone back through a year's worth of my posts!

If Davey is not dropped for today's cowardly & spineless performance it is a sad admission we are so bad we cannot afford to drop him.

Posted

To give away that 50m penalty in the last was just the end for me. Totally knifed his teammates just when they desperately needed him to stand up and assert himself on the game. Imagine how different our season could be looking if he had managed to pull us over the line today with a gutsy performance in the last quarter indigenous round and all?

Instead all we are left with now would seem to be to continue blooding youngsters

Sh!t ones pants when a so called leader had to go which directly resulted in a goal. Worst on ground today and needs a spell at Casey, Not to mention in the top three pay earners at the club.SQUIBB OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
