Exactly hence a 1 yr rookie lifelineI can't think of too many players who have played less then 10 games at age 24 without any long term injuries that have come on and made a decent career of it, unless they were a KPD or ruck.
He may buck the trend, but I can't see it.
AgreeI don't understand why people are upset about Davis getting another shot.
The club pretty much said that they were planning to redraft him back in October when he was delisted. At the end of the day we've got the youngest list in the AFL by a mile so if the club feels that Davis still has something to offer, even if it's from an indigenous leadership point of view, then it's not really going to a have a huge impact on our list.
yes lots of eyes on him next year , needs to hit weights room and get his endurance to elite level and he’s a big chanceSpoke with his family over the past couple of days they were very hopeful
The dumb thing is I forgot I knew at least one member
Without doing a Randall and this is my personal opinion he has comfort in SA so maybe hard to move outside
I think he should keep up the dream and work his butt off
Rowes dream came true
Is this the best highlights of someone not drafted? Crazy amount of talent. Must have had some desire issues or something?
No, just Polec.Did they take anyone else? would we be the youngest now?
I recall a time ( I believe) where he trained in Tom Lynch's role and I am sure it was a couple of pre seasons agoNah it doesn't the counter argument it says he's rated given he keeps getting a contract. Look at how we've managed him:
1st game after having his contract extended is against Geelong at Geelong where we always get pumped. Doesn't get another game.
Is talked up during the 2020 preseason, plays first game against at Sydney and despite getting coaches votes doesn't get another game in 2020.
Then we change his position and he gets a couple of late games and looks ok, contract is extended.
So either Reid and Ogilvie re-rookie him without consulting the coaches or they rate him enough to give him a full year in that position.
We don't have the youngest list at all, let alone by a country mile. North's list is younger, by a massive 0.12 years (average).I don't understand why people are upset about Davis getting another shot.

It's not like we've blown a valuable draft pick on him.
How many of those for Dees and Tigers are starting mids?Players 182cm and shorter
Adelaide - 14
Melbourne - 11
Richmond - 15 (including 6 at or below 178cm)
Non issue
Prestia, Lambert, Bolton, Edwards, Viney, Neal-Bullen, Langdon + a couple of starting half backs and forwards on either side (Pickett, Bowey and Short)How many of those for Dees and Tigers are starting mids?
That was 2020 preseason, he played in the preseason matches, played it against Swans rd 1 and earned coaches votes. Only to never get a game after the covid resumption until late 2021. If ever a players been mismanaged it’s Davis. He should have played a number of games by name so we knew one way or another.I recall a time ( I believe) where he trained in Tom Lynch's role and I am sure it was a couple of pre seasons ago
He was focused on that
Then that fell in a hole
Benny has to own this year.
The thing is he is very talented and versatile.
I have said a few times on this board does he have the concentration level ?
Is he confused? I don’t know
He’s had a few line coaches as well
I mean look at Chayce Jones a top pick and sent on a spin the broom trick
We have sucked at developing these past years
Ben deserves opportunity for at least another year
Then curtains
Richmond showed how much it can actually help if you have some good players with height around themPlayers 182cm and shorter

So how many spots do we have left for supp period or MSD?Exactly hence a 1 yr rookie lifeline
Not sure at allSo how many spots do we have left for supp period or MSD?
Has he been beating the door down at sanfl level? No.That was 2020 preseason, he played in the preseason matches, played it against Swans rd 1 and earned coaches votes.

Hey, I hope he comes out and proves everyone wrong. No fan should be actively hoping our players fail so good luck to him. IMO ROC had even fewer opportunities and I would have rather seen him given another go if that's the approach we are taking.Look at the chances he’s had, you can complain about the years on the list but the opportunities and way he’s been treated have been a joke.
We don't have the youngest list at all, let alone by a country mile. North's list is younger, by a massive 0.12 years (average).
Yes, it was flagged early, to prepare us for the bad news. That doesn't make it a good idea, or even a fair idea. It was a bad decision, a dog eating its own vomit.
