AFL Player #36: Jayden Davey - Named to play in the VFL - 16/3

[VelvetSledge]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
2024 My Boy Draft: Pick 34, yodellinhank

Jayden will be back for footy next year though likely late in the season. They’ve got a good template with the work they did with baldwin.

Think it is a smart end run around through a loophole though. Jayden could be playing VFL in round 1 by all reports. Not that I am complaining.

 

[ghostdog]

This is bloody awesome.

The twins are officially Bombers.

Well done guys.

How good! Looking forward to perplexed looks from oppo players when they're hurriedly told to man-up Davey. Which one? Jayden, Jayden! WTF!?

 

[rumply]

And more

yes more of this please

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Woohoo!!

I reckon this one will be more of a MSD one rather than SSP.

Hopefully he can get back from his injuries ok.

Now he is in the system at least he will have the best medical people.

 

[Runk]

Really happy they've taken the long term rehab focus. The kid is a jet.

Yeh the long term approach I’m okay with. Get him right and build him up, can’t afford for him to have a 3rd injury.

So he would require another LTI or mid season retirement to be able to play in the 2nd half of the season at VFL level?

Dodoro said him and many recruiters believe wouldve been a first rounder had he not done his knee

Oh my, a twin coaching twins.
That's kind of cool.

Your round gets reduced based on how many knees you have done.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Is it the same knee twice or each knee once?

Dodoro made some comments after the draft that it was the same knee, and they think the first time it wasn't rehabbed properly because it gave out again in a very minor incident.

So they'll give him a long lead-in to get it 100% you'd think, maybe play some VFL in the second half of the season.

Shout out to Mrs Davey, great work mum !

his kicking style reminds me of Ricky Dyson. The hunched over drilling he use to do is returning

This is a bad omen.

36 becomes one of my guys and then gets delisted.
