Drop him for one match. He's forgotten what caused him to be rookied. The whole team is so secure they've lost their desperation.

    Not sure dropping him is the answer. But certaintly explain to him that no-one's spot in the team is absolute. His last two weeks have been horrible.

    Bringing Pickett back will help him!

    True. He adds alot to the team. Toughness and that bit of inspiration.

    Forget about Pickett being back for a couple of weeks he couldn't even run out a half at Sandy. I blame Danners for Davey, he is tried to make him something he is not and that's a midfielder. Davey is a roving forward pocket someone needs to tell the coach and Davey to get to the forward contest and stop chasing kicks up the ground.

    Agreed. Upset Alwin is doing well. We really need him

    Nope. Dropping him is a proactive thing. He's worse than bad at the moment. He's even getting outrun by older midfielders. When Davey isn't absolutely at his top-pace he's a liability. He and Trav are supposed to be stars of the competition, and you'd be hard pressed to find 2 players who've played worse in the opening 2 rounds.

    They won't be dropped because A - Inuries, B - So many weak players, and C - Not enough other options to come back in.

    If the situation weren't so dire, he could really use a couple of weeks at Sandy to find some touch. It's COMPLETELY deserted him at the moment.

    This always dumbfounds me. Are you suggestug Davey doesn't try when Pickect is not playing, or he only tries to play well when Pickett is out there?

    We will get CREAMED by the cats next week, we may as well send the message out to passengers by dropping them next week.

    Davey needs a week in the 2s.

    Make no mistake about it, Byron was the spark that turned our season around last year. Without his physical prescence I see the same soft touch in the engine room that has crippled us many a season. Mclean knows what's required. Too bad, he's out for 6 weeks. Season will be dead and buried by then.

    Has not looked like getting a kick the last two weeks.......

    when a crumber was needed he was nowhere to be seen...

    disappointing!

    I am with you Rampaging Demons.......

    I have always believed Davey's best position was as a forward crumber, but that seems to have been lost completely.

    Whether that is him or coaching I am not completely sure. But the fact is, we didn't see much crumbing going on at all today.

    The ball was being spilled from contests, there was no-one there to mop it up, and it was then being raced out of our forward 50 by the Hawks.

    This was unfortunately without the Dees even threatening the goals.

    Of course may not be entirely Davey's fault or responsibility, but it would have been nice to see him there at some point today.....

    Maybe next week?

    Im saying that Pickett will lift Davey helping him play better

    people have derided yze in the past for bad attitude and poor body language. and if yze deserved a page 3 article at the end of last season about it, then currently aaron davey deserves a front page spread. never before have i seen a player mope around so much.

    on the byron thing, i dont think byron just lifts him, but the entire team, remember byron last year was unfit as all hell and was next to useless in the first 3 rounds and we subsequently lost. when he got his touch and fitness we were about 14-1 from memory, and when he got injured again he struggled. if he is ready next week then he sould be played, because maybe he can be the one to put a rocket up davey's ass

    There was that one awful moment when Franklina and another smaller player chased Davey down. What a demoralising moment for us!! One thing about Davey is that he's small, and has weaknesses. His pace and tackling is SUCH a strength that he earns his spot, but if he's not absolutely smashing guys into the turf and his pressure falls back to normal levels he becomes a liability.

    I was ready to start screaming at him until I saw him put on a sensational chase to drop Franklin near the boundary line later in the game. It looked to me, up until that point, that he'd lost a yard as a consequence of his ankle.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
