Didn't see the report but is he looking to pull the pin or be traded?

So what's his options? Retire or ask for trade with a team willing to pick up his contract yeah?

Anyone else get the feeling there's been a not too subtle meeting of the coach and players behind closed doors that's seen some finally decide not to "buy in"?

Such a shame, was in great form, showing great leadership.... Oh I can't even continue with this sarcastic jab...

Good, clean out every softy from this club.

Didn't say, just said was "reconsidering his future at MFC".

See my post above about trade etc, pretty sure he doesn't have many options.

I cant see he has an option to go into the trade bin. Times caught up. :(

Regardless it's VERY interesting. He is another of the "old firm" as I like to put it who have been with the club for a while but haven't been up and about for the last few seasons. While I have loved Flash and what he brought to the club it's clear that he isn't the player he used to be and, like Beamer and to a lesser extent Green, would be the main culprits when it came to going missing in big games.

I'd be sad to see him either traded or retire but, in terms of moving forward, it's a positive move (again!) for the club after the last 6 years. The wheels are turning.

Pretty sure he won't get a game anywhere else.

Can anyone hand-over-heart declare that Davey will be of any use next year?

He's undisciplined and totally behind in fitness.

I will applaud him if he makes the call.

If I were him, I'd certainly be looking somewhere else.

Be sad to see him go, should the story have any legs. Thought he showed some glimpses this year, maybe not enough for him to go on though.


His lost his speed and with out that Davies is really no use to us.

Loved him as a kid it will be Sad to see him go.

Loved watching him play, however think it is time to move on.

he will get a trade for his kicking maybe a 3rd round pick

Makes sense, but it is Davey's call of course.

I imagine the club would be comfortable letting him go.

I so much look forward to the time when we have even a few players who are consistenty contenders for the best and fairest, instead of the string of one or two year wonders that pepper out honour board at the moment.

At least Nathan Jones has shown a picture of consistency and progress through his career. That's the kind of thing I want noted at the end of year functions.

ya reckon ?

He's now a couple of yards slower than required. His body is dishing up some unfortunate luck with injuries.

Hes 29, he'll be 30 not long into season 13.

Oh yeah baby sign him up....can hear this from far and wide....those FD's will be lining up :unsure:

His lack of opportunity this year has been disappointing and I've always been on his side. Wish you the best, Davey

A few years ago, his mother said she wanted to see her boys reunited at the one club.

Perhaps a trade with the Bombers for that Angus character?

hmm.. a little bit of logic there sire

Isn't Angus Monfries a restricted free agent?

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
