im interested to know what people think of davey's best position on the ground.

personally i am sick of seeing him running around the half back flank/wing area loosing his cool and giving away stupid free kicks like the baker one last night. He has always played his best football deep in the forward line crumming of neitz and robbo, geez, its where we all came to love him and where he finished 2nd in the rising star. So many time last night we had a forward on the lead and no crumming players, where davey's speed would be perfect, instead daniher insits on playing him up the ground where he doesnt attack the ball and tries fancy little tap ons and running around the players where all we need is someone who is hard at it and will take a hit, not try something that looks great if it comes off, but rarely does!

Davey is the main concern but Daniher has made a habit of taking players out of their best postition and 'trying' them somewhere else, which is fine of we are 10 goals up at 3/4 time but not when we are losing. Bruce in the backline, sure it worked once against tarrant but why persist against a player like blake?? Green, midfield or forward please!!

would be nice to see a few players become a bit more settled in their positions, like WJ said in another thread, too many rotations is not a good thing!!

 
 

This has been irritating me for a while.

Flash isn't a player who will win a lot of his own ball up the ground. He should always play deep forward as he is nearly impossible to stop when crumbing at full pelt.


There was a member on here yesterday who suggested that bate be moved forward poickett and i scoffed at the idea. Its not a bad thought tho and with Davey in the other pockett it MAY look better. I think our biggest worry is it doesent matter how many good names u name in the forward (or anywhere on the field), its if they can read the ball and lock the ball in. In the past we have had:

F: Davey Neitz Yze

HF: Green Miller Robbo

They are not bad names and all can kick a goal (except miller), however it seems to me that there are 3 players of thoes who have some way of locking the ball in- Robbo, Neitz and Davey. Pack marks are another issue and last night we had no crummers. The ball was dead for us once it hit the ground. Last night didnt help...this kick to kick stuff allowing saints to flood and god knows its a mirricle if someone can take a mark if there are oposition everywhere not allowing a leading forward. What showed last night also that we never went long to a contest. In the past we have run and carried to the Half Back pockett. Then switched to midfield (centre square area)...held the ball and sent in a long kick to a leading forward or half forward player. We will NEVER win a game this year allowing oposition to flood in our 50 and then when they get the ball run out and obviously there are no defenders for us. Also loose this kicking to one pocket in defence to the other. Several times it was turned over. Some serious questionmarks over where ND plays davey and i would like top see him forward pockett and Bate in the other (which was not my idea...but another members). White should never play forward again as he just cant read the ball and lock it in

He has to stay up forward, especially if our midfield continues to kick over the head of our forwards.

The ball came out of attack last night far too easily. The Saints had all the time in the world to switch and run off.

I'm worried that Davey is thinking that he's too good for the forward line, and he wants to venture into the middle. I hope Daniher doesn't make that mistake though, because Davey is no midfielder.

Could Davey play at FF (like Mark Williams) and have Neitz at CHF? Just a thought. Could work i think but mabey not. What do others think?

 
At one point Davey was playing at full back last night.

No kidding. Gehrig must have $#@% himself.

No.

I have no problem with Davey playing up the ground where his pace and skills can be used in burst to break oppositions open.

If we are losing leaving him in the FP is akin to benching him. A waste.

However, I thought Davey's performance last night was horrible and his attitude no better than the last time we played them.

Kid needs to grow up.

I remember last year when Davey gave away the 50 that resulted in a goal, he was dragged, and stayed off the ground for a whole minute. Neale said after the game that he had never intended to keep him off for long "because he's Aaron Davey".

The attitude he displays at times needs to be nipped in the bud ASAP. Next time he cocks up, take him off and leave him off for the whole quarter. It's harsh and potentially detrimental to the team, but he needs to learn that he can't get away with giving away stupid frees and 50s just because he's the Flash. Otherwise we risk ending up with Yze Mk II.

I totally agree with you

Liked your comment that if he continues the way he acts he will be YZE II

That will be very frustrating

At the moment I think davey's best position with Pickett coming back would be to take Pickett's sandy guernsey.

Forward pocket.

If he matures mentally, and can develop consistency in his game,then maybe he can be moved up the ground to handle the engine room.

  • 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

    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.
