Ben Davies

I started this earlier in the year. I know the kid and was just wondering what you supporters thought of him, and where he'll be in Collingwoods plans etc, now that you've had a better look at him

Brilliant young gun. Long term player at Collingwood without a doubt.

Dover looks like being a pretty solid player.

Needs to maintain the sort of intensity as seen on Fridee throughout his career, and work on his kicking.

Granted his kicking was good the other night, but I have seen other games for us and at Willi where it has been sub-AFL standard. I don't think he's got major technical problems in this area, so he might be fine with a bit more confidence and composure. Tends to get a bit up and under.

All in all, he should be very proud of his year, as people are less forgiving when it comes to analysing rookies as opposed to main listed draftees. They do really have one year to show something and Dover's done that!

Definately done well for himself. Thought he was not going to be drafted and that we may of though of draft Wayde Twomey from the jets last year but iam happy with our decision.

Good player, finds space and time and usually hits his target. kicking needs a little refinement. But good long-term player for collingwood. Should be promoted this year if hes lucky.

Davies had an interupted pre-season as well (was unsighted for quite a while and noone even knew what he looked like for a while). So with a full pre-season under his belt he may still improve.
