Re: Drafting, List Gurus please respond.

You don't.
He hasn't excactly been setting the world on fire for Perth in the WAFL.
Medhurst has been playing better than him.

Re: Form.

He had a couple of quiet games to start the season but since has been playing very well. Has been played in a variety of positions, and Perth is struggling.

Seems the Perth coach isn't too popular at the moment, more chance Leon being reunited with MM than Bucks at this stage.

It saddens me to see people still sniping at this Collingwood great.

Vale Leon. We miss you.
 
Re: Drafting, List Gurus please respond.

Whilst there's a thread here grabbing the list gurus' attention, I've got a question ...

If we promote and play a rookie this week (Williams for example), do we have to nominate now which specific player on the long term injury list he is replacing? Or can we decide which player he is replacing later down the track? (ie: when we have a better idea of how the recoveries are going and who is a chance to be available in the finals)

How do we go about getting Leon Davis back?

He's have to go through the draft like anyone else.

What TRS said. There's a few problems with this. This is the best draft in a long time and we need to refresh the quality of youth on our list as it has been slim pickings lately. With our cap we don't have a lot to offer meaning it would be easy for other clubs to offer Davis more money. This means we would be offering him a pittance and taking him with a late pick unless we are stupid. That offers a lot of opportunity for other clubs to pick him before us.

And this isn't even taking into consideration whether he has the motivation to around again at an AFL level. There'd be a big question mark over that.

I'd say the possibility of Davis coming back is very slim, but geez i'd love him back!

I'd prefer Chris Egan.

How do we go about getting him back?

Srs :confused: That comment makes zero sense.

Tongue in cheek. But I want them back about the same.

Would rather neither and to blood Marley Williams and the other young guys we've got instead. Obviously this is not entirely Bucks' directive because Davis' demands obviously came into play but I'm glad its eventuated.

I'd have had Davis mopping up the back of packs and kicking in every round this season so far.

We'd be at least 8 goals to the good.

It's a fair point if it's the difference between fourth and fifth.

I'd rather play a Grand Final with 22 contributors.
 
Leon has gone and would only have been good for H&A games as already mentioned. His kicking is certainly missed, but with injuries, we probably haven't had the opportunity to experiment to try and find a reliable kicker/defender. Davis made a decision and no other club wanted to pick him up. Why not?

I don't disagree, but out kick ins have been a real point of difference so far this season.
