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.

your only excuse for such a ridiculous comment is that youre 12yo

if not you dont have much of a clue im affraid.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
