1 was enough.

Funny, I thought this after reading your very 1st post..

People should just cool it.

He has been a good servant of the club and I have not heard good things about his foot.

Let's not dance on graves - it says more about the dancer than the name on the tombstone.

RE: I and many others only went to MFC games at one stage because Aaron Davey was playing.. dont sh!t where you sleep, yeah.

Anyway, I came on to ask,

'Isn't Davey the outside mid weve been looking for?' The best kick at MFC, probably the best in the league barely a year or 2 ago.. fast, smart, a goalkicker.. just got to get the hammies right!

Then i read RSVP's comment on Daveys foot.. Can you elaborate a little please? cheers..

 

Father of 5??? Lets not let him go anywere. We could have 5 daveys running around in a generation

Only 3 sons. First 2 were daughters.

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

No-one is going to pay him what he is paid now, which is probably 4 - 500,000.

RSVP?

His foot doesn't look good - I am not a doctor, I am just relaying what I have heard.

Just a hypothetical but thered be nothing stopping the two parties coming to a deal for an early end to his contract. That or find something esle for him to go onto within the club etc. That is if it was a desirable ongoing for those concerned..

Hes had a fair amount of coin over the journey he ought to be well set up.


No other club will be interested in him now - he's got two choices, front up for another Misson pre-season or retire now on half next year's contract.

Too many corns?

More like it is broken in a way that a 28 year old AFL player will struggle to come back from.

You know nothing about contracts do you?

Apparently it's a bit of a mess.

Maybe some other role in the club would be more suited ?

Shame for him personally, but even he would recognise the demands on training volume and his returns for the club the last two years aren't what he or the club expects. More is required and his zest is diminished.

Regarding his contract, I'd gather prudent list management would have him payed heavily in his first two years (front loaded given the nature of list). At a guess there wouldn't be a great deal owing.


His contract like a few others was somewhat front loaded which is why we have the space now

Hold up, the elephant in the room here is the fact that Davey is contracted.

What can he reconsider? Wouldn't leaving, retiring ect mean that he is voiding his contract?

If he has been front loaded then wouldn't he need to pay back some of that extra he was front loaded?

If a contract isn't stopping players from reaping the best years of front loaded contracts then walking then what is the point of them?

It would be like Scully taking 2 million in his first year at GWS then 'reconsidering his position' as he would only be on 1million for every other year

If it is unlikely he can contribute next year we can just pay him out and create a spot on our list for a free agent, draftee or rookie upgrade.

like i suggest clever clogs. They would be able to come to an agreement to end the contract to both parties satisfaction.

clam down..take a bex

You know nothing about contracts do you?

I know enough about them - he'll either play next season on full whack or he'll retire and we'll come to an agreement with him to pay him less.

We will come to an agreement with him or he will see out his contract - and we will not be asking for any money back FFS.

Yes. I think the club got spooked. I was happy for him to walk and posted as much at the time. But you also had people like Mike Sheahan who wrote an article 3 years ago insinuating that the club would be on its knees if Davey wouldn't re-sign.

Ultimately he stayed and got a very generous contract.

Mike was wrong.

We will come to an agreement with him or he will see out his contract - and we will not be asking for any money back FFS.

Then it will motivate this type of tactic in the future for other players on front-loaded contracts

I think Mike suffers from Senior Demontia :unsure:^_^

Then it will motivate this type of tactic in the future for other players on front-loaded contracts

and what tactic would that be .... :huh:

What 'type of tactic' is that?

Breaking your effing foot at work?!

With all due respect - I would say three words in this instance that would not be very pleasant at all.

and what tactic would that be .... :huh:

to take the big bucks at the start of the contract and fcuk off once the coin slows down at the end of the contract. Or in this case 'reconsider'

You are heartless and naive and you should save yourself some embarrassment and not bother in this thread anymore.

Apologies you don't like my opinion but no need to make personal attacks...

We are leaving a window open to be exploited here. If you can't see it or think that its ok then that's your decision. I think otherwise.

Contracts must be honored in my books. Not 'reconsidered' once the good part is over.

Seriously what hope do we have if we can't even get players to honor their contracts.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
