Aaron Davey Retires

Featured Replies

was a pleasure watching him play!

 

A great player at his best. A good decision to go.

A tremendous story and lots of highlights in his career.

But he has made the right decision.

There was no realistic 2014 for Davey playing in AFL

Is he retiring end of season or immediately? Can't seem to find that out anywhere.

 

Hopefully there is a way that he can stay at the club next year

Just acknowledge his career. There's no need for all this "it was time" stuff. Be a supporter and remember the good times.


Changed the game and sad to see him go, but the right time.

Will always be a legend when it comes to small forwards and those chases...

His great skills were one of the rare positives this year.

Good on you Flash and good luck!

I did. Grow up.

Has said he's looking forward to playing the next two weeks.

Mahoney has said they are talking about him being involved in some capacity next year

 

I know a bit about this one... We didn't push him, but he did need to be pushed.... if you know what I mean. His knees are shagged, and he has known for some time that this is his last year. His personal circumstances meant he was hoping it wasn't his final year.

The reality is that this one was handled right. Thankfully.

I did. Grow up.

1 line about his great career. 2 lines about how he should be going. Pathetic supporting.


Wish he stayed on for another few years...

One that I will sorely miss watching play.

He had 3 years where he was unstoppable.

Thanks for the memories Aaron.

Well done, Aaron. Thanks for your service.

Thanks for the memories, Flash.

I hope the club looks after him now.

Would happily have him stay on as a development coach.

Agree. He is a great role model. Would be invaluable to help Dom Barry.


He made the call at a good time. Shame he couldn't hit the 200 game mark but still a great career for a bloke off the rookie list. Hopefully he can remain involved even as an NT ambassador

Spoke to Flash at Jurrah's Book function and he told me his knee was stuffed. He said as he relied on his pace and evasive skills he would never be the same. That started his decline. This is the right move for Flash and he announces it in his way and that is good for him and the club. Hope he can stay around as a mentor and also as an assistant in coaching and recruiting.

Congrats and well done on a great career, probably only curtailed by injury. One of our most popular players in his heyday.

I am proud to say along with WJ, we were there at the start, having seen him play at Port Melbourne and pushing on Demonland, for us to take him. We were thrilled when the club did and loved watching him play, especially when he was at his peak.

Enjoy your retirement Flash.

Will get Life Membership, if he hasn't already.

A great player for MFC and has provided some amazing pieces of play. Hope he stays around and teaches some of the younger kids to look up, kick properly and hit a target. Just sublime to watch. Thanks Flash,

Will miss him.

Was at that game against Kangas in Canberra where he turned it on in the pre-season and we all realised we needed to do something to get him upgraded on the list.

He was fantastic to watch when at his best.

Now, how many boys does he have???

Gave us some fantastic memories, and has changed the role of small forward, there aren't many players that can say that over their career. I really hope he gets a farewell game in the last round, yes it would've been nice to make it at the G but make it v the Doggies and who knows maybe a few extra will come out to bid him goodbye.

For me the highlight goal is round 6 2006 vs Geelong at the G when were actually good, stopped the ball inside 50 on the boundary line, Yze picks up handballs to Jmac, receives it back on the boundary and slots it from a miracle angle in the pouring rain no less!

Thanks for the highlights, all the best for the future, I hope you stick around the club.

Do we really have to turn this into another thread full of bickering... please everyone show a little respect!

I would like to think Flash will get two full games to play out his career, as the MFC has nothing to lose by doing so, and there are others who can make way for young blood. Hopefully he will came back in some sort of mentoring/assistant coaching/development role - and by mentoring, I DO NOT mean mentoring our indigenous recruits, I mean all and sundry, as he has so much in the way of skills he can impart to our newer players.

Enough, according to Aaron...

Just heard on SEN he has not ruled out playing for another club.

I guess you have to get an offer first.

But sounds like his not retiring from AFL just the MFC.

Pushed?

The reality is he would have been told the likelyhood of games in 2014 was...... a bit on the wee side.

There comes a time

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    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?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
