Delisted #29: Alwyn Davey- Not offered a contract for 2014

[Essendonia]

How embarrassing.

We just got rid of Monface, too.

 

[Rack Watts]

Well, at least he's frank. Unlike the Selwoods.

That's the name of his 4th child.

 

[Loonerty]

Yeah was a bit baffled about them putting that on the show.

 

[quotemokc]

Got carried off the ground late last night, any info on him?

 

[DaSawx]

Didn't really get a mention post game, should be ok.

 

[Lavender Gooms]

Got carried off the ground late last night, any info on him?

Just a cramp. He was pretty much straight back on.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Got carried off the ground late last night, any info on him?

Cramps. The doctors were laughing at him because he couldn't stand up for several minutes.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Really missed him yesterday. His speed and forward pressure has been immense this year, not to mention his scoreboard impact.

 

[daz17]

Missed him being a key target up forward.

 

[yaco55]

What we missed more than anything was ability to find space in the forward 50.

 

[hurlygurdy]

So why is Davey our of favour? In his last game he kicked a couple of goals and got 4 tackles. I don't care what "extras" Kommer does each week, surely he cannot be a better pick than a small forward who will kick a few goals each game? What gives?

 

[VelvetSledge]

That is one hell of a bump.

Mods, can we merge this with Alwyn's player thread?

 

[Rack Watts]

4, more, games!

I don't get why he is a) not in and b) not being given the chance to get to 100 games.. who knows what one of his millions of kids might become...

Seems a really silly and short sighted decision for mine.. its not like he is so bad that we are losing heaps in the trade off between Davey and Kommer or Davey and Merrett.. baffling

The small forward position is the only one causing me angst at the moment.. sometimes I feel like I am the only one who is not being swept up in the Kommer Mania.. I don't know what photo's he has of Hird but they must be good..

 

[daffo]

I thought he would be back in this week.

 

[Valve Bounce]

I thought he would be back in this week.

He looked a bit overweight. Maybe he needs to shed a couple of kilos and gain some speed in the process. I don't know. I just like to see the guy in the team.

 

[Summer Nights]

Seriously, the focus on getting him to 100 game is ridiculous. You pick guys on merit. There is absolutely no guarantee any of his kids will be any good. Admittedly, he has merit for selection, but that's what he should be picked on.

I think (well, I hope) that some people do it with a healthy dose of tongue in cheek.

Not really, hes got 4, who knows if he increases on that. The chances of one of those kids being good are well worth gifting him 4 more games even if he is slightly behind Mez and Kommer. The games I would've gifted him are WBD/GWS and then two of NM/Scum/WCE/Collingwood.

Nek Minnut we're suspended from the 2020-2030 drafts for conduct unbecoming. Miss out on all his kids.

Dem feels.

Will Davey survive the cut at years end now that he has cracked 100 games?

Not sure. Personally I think he should be concentrating on getting back on the job with the missus - this footy team won't build itself.
