Re: Roos get Ben Davies

hmmmm...sounds like a midfield FLANKER. We needed one of these.

Came cheap though.

Who's he? Honestly can't say I've heard of him. Or if I have - don't remember.

Must be a cracker. I'm pretty sure Nifty Nev was quoted as saying it would have to be an exceptional footballer for us to part way with a draft pick this week.

Ben Davies
Fast Facts

Jumper No: 19

Height: 187cm

Weight: 83kg

DOB: 10 February 1986

Recruited From: Williamstown/Western U18

Career Matches: 12

Career Goals: 1 (career matches/goals at the end of the 2007 season)

About
Gained promotion from the rookie list at the end of 2005 after seven impressive games, but despite regularly dominating for Williamstown in the VFL in 2006, couldn’t break into the Collingwood line-up on a regular basis and added five matches to his tally. Had a strong 17-possession outing against the Bulldogs in round nine, and gathered 15 touches and kicked a goal in the win over the Eagles at Telstra Dome in round 16. Skilful midfielder with great endurance who enjoys carrying the football, will be 21 by the time the 2007 season kicks off and will be looking to gain more senior exposure and cement a spot in the Magpies’ midfield.

Great, another bloke who can't kick

Re: Roos get Ben Davies

Very good VFL player unable to cement a spot at AFL level yet.

Was going to be delisted by us, Laidely obviously taking a punt on him.

Re: Roos get Ben Davies

I jsut told my Collingwood mate and he cant stop laughing, saying we got ripped off with pick 96.

Oh dear Kangaroos... We love trading for the real dud players.

Re: Roos get Ben Davies

Young midfielder, great work ethic, but absolutely appalling foot skills.
