Davey No.2 Training At The Club

[Bartram_Class]

Alwyn Davey, the younger brother of electrifying Melbourne speedster Aaron, is set to start pre-season training with the Demons in the hope of being selected by an AFL club in the upcoming drafts.

The 21-year-old played for South Adelaide in the SANFL this year, but watched on at Melbourne's training session at Sandringham on Friday.

He joined his older brother Aaron - who also sat on the sidelines at the Trevor Barker Oval - as he was given extra time off after he shone for Australia in the recent International Rules Series. Aaron spoke of Alwyn joining Melbourne for pre-season training.

"He's down (and going to be training with us) and he played last year with South Adelaide after playing the whole year in the seniors, so hopefully he can just come out and have a train and have a few other clubs have a look at him (as well)," Aaron Davey said.

"He's got the ability to do it and he's got the pace and he's got the same style of game I have, but he's played more on a wing.

"I just hope that he comes out here and gives it his best and hopefully it goes well and if it's not at Melbourne, then hopefully another AFL club."

Love the second last paragraph, anything near what Aarons got is good enough for our club, sign him up quick.

Might be worth rookie listing, even just as a probably-not-but-you-never-know type.

I'd take him as a rookie or a late draft pick unless there are better players available (kinda stating the obvious i know)

Imagine two Davey's running around together. It would be a nightmare for opponents! :D

wouldn't be a bad thing having two davey's running down the opposition. hope he can be as good as his brother. where would that put motlop tho??

I would think that we wouldn't be able to have Flash, Wrecker, Choppy, Motlop and Alwyn in the same side.
I'd take him as a late pick. After all, Flash was a bit of a probably-but-you-never-know type as well. Now through that gamble we've got a player who could be anything.

i didnt realise how old aaron is.... how old is he?? i thoguht he was like 20! id love the younger bro at our club... what pace!

[demon 12]

any word on wether flashes brother is as fast as him?? could be the other spark up forward we need

[Bartram_Class]

Aaron said "he has the pace" so im guessing hes pretty damn quick.

Today in the paper Davey said Alwyn was quicker than him.
:eek:

[demon 12]

i just hope we get him, i would be really annoyed if he was running around in another team jumper kicking goals after we discovered him
