Saves him from being dropped on form. Soft knee and generally SOFT. Needs time at Casey badly.

    Not in best 25 so doesn;t matter. Shouldn't have played next two anyway! Hopefully the heart tear gets better though.

    Aaron is best 22. At his best he is top 5.

    Maybe soft because of the knee?

    Is it the same leg he broke late last year?

    What i don't understand is why did it take till thursday to send him for scans, why not monday at the first chance or even last week?

    Anybody at all think that this injury may have been holding him back??

    Davey is a forward that has been turned into a mid fielder due to his disposal, he will never get used to tags, in reality we should have 2 or 3 blokes that get tagged ahead of davey but he hurts the opposition the most...

    Lay off Flash, he has done enough for this club to deserve a bit of bad form.

    but this is the MFC where the supporters don't actually rate any of the players

    you can be a lifelong fan, vice-captain, hard as nails and be coming 4th in the brownlow and you still aren't rated

    With knee soreness, they would have tested the mechanical structure of the knee thoroughly. Once that was found to be sound, they would have treated it internally and hoped that it would settle down of its own accord whilst mindful of their ignorance of the source. When it did not settle down, they got scans and discovered a small tear in the cartliage. Davey will have an arthroscopic procedure to clean this up. Quite normal practice.

    Just more excuses. I'm sure his knee wasnt to blame for him not going at that contest where he put one arm up in an attempt to mark the ball while thinking he might get crunched. You dont see Hodge doing that even if he was injured.

    Bad form I can live with but being the VC (and no doubt very close to being the captain) being soft is NOT acceptable. Does not set the right example for the young fellas.

    Seeing as Nicholson was the only one announced as coming in for their debut, maybe Strauss could be the other inclusion? If it was Howe or Blease i'm sure they would've announced it along with Nicholson.

    Maybe a sugar coated way of saying to the public "your dropped ? "

    In some way I agree, but seriously Davey is not a "hard" player.

    Im not happy when he shirks a challenge, but im pretty sure he would of een told to hold his feet and use his pace to beat the opposition player.

    Last week when he went up half hearted for a mark on the ST Kilda 50m would be in his mind. Could his knee of prevented him going up 100% maye, but the fact is no one will ever know.

    Either way I dont think we will see Davey go up like again.

    What planet are you on?

    geez there are some harsh things said out of frustration.

    He broke his leg last year and is obviously nursing an injury combined with a form slump, but great players like Davey will come back.

    Davey has never been our hardest player but easily the best kick in the team (in a different way to Tappy smashing it 60 from defense).

    We are obviously hurting on the injury list but i think if we suddenly expect Davey to become a Moloney-esque hard nut, its just not going to happen.

    Shirking the contest last week wasnt good but wow, not in our best 22......kidding yourself.

  • Quote

    Flash is still easily in our best 22, come one guys!

    Sad news for us fans, because Davey on fire really adds to the viewing experience. Hopefully he can get himself right. Sure he was disappointing against the Saints, but he is still Aaron Davey and we need him.

    Flash is top 5 easily, just not playing like it atm. Some ridiculous comments flying around.

    I like it how he's out for 2 wks, yet the actual scans dont take place til tomorrow (today now) LOL....

    Love the bloke but perhaps a rest will do him good. I havent lost faith, he will be a gun in a good team, but still gets too much focus at present.

    GOOD LUCK DAN NICHOLSON.........

    • 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.

      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?
