Whats going on with leon? He seems to be coasting, i think he needs to have a good hard look in the mirror and decide what he wants to do.
Does he think he's that good and it will all just happen for him?

And why was he playing on the bloody wing and not on the ball?
 
He hasn't been that bad. He had a superb 2nd half against Adelaide, was one of the best against Melbourne and had a downer against Geelong on Thursday night.

He probably needs to spend a little more time up forward to help out Medhurst as we seem to lack a goal scoring crumber at the moment with Dick struggling.
 
Leon is one player we dont really need to worry about.

He had bicycle pants on under his shorts on Thursday night for the first time this year, suggesting the 5 day break didnt suit his recovery.

With an 8 day break, the real Leon Davis will be back this week, dont be surprised if he's BOG.
 
As already said, against Melbourne he was great and second half against Adelaide he was BOG for us.
One player can't be singled out for the loss against Geelong, most players had a down night

Half a game against adelaide is not good enough from one of our best mids, where was he in the first half? Against melbourne everyone should have played well, cause they are rubbish.
 
There is always an excuse for Leon. He had 7 years of mediocrity, followed by one good year and one better year.

This year has started like his mediocre years.

Keep it up Leon and you will become trade bait. You owe Collingwood big time.

Oh cmon.

You better leave Leon alone, or BT will take you roo shooting and a "Dick Cheney" type accident might occur.

Seriously though, his first 2 rounds were good, topping 20 possessions in both, and there arent too many small aboriginal players in the league who average that.

He had a flat one against Geelong, but he had a genuine excuse added to a 5 day break, which doesnt help the slightest injury.

Leon will be ok, worry more about the backline this week, that's where this game will be won or lost.
 
Lol gencyou have been saying this stuff since leon debuted.

Strangely so has my old man:o lol
 
You guys are ridiculous, Leon is probably our most important player.
Honestly, an absolute match winner.

He got burnt twice on thursday, running passed to receive the hands from about 50m out on the run. Leon would have nailed them for sure, dont know why they didn't use him.

OPti, for the first seven years I was right. He has only earned his spot in years 8 and 9.

Jesus, that's longer than Ben Kinnear was tolerated!

as i said mate ive heard the same stuff from my old man as well

I agree for the first 7 years leon was unfilled talent after 8 and 9 im willing to give him slack and see if he can reproduce once again

I think people should get off his back, he had a shocker but so did half the side..He was missing but to those who say he 'goes missing when it counts', this is the guy who, when we were losing games and then lost Dids and Heater last year, lifted the team on his back (was our best....clearly....in the season run in), played at a genuine elite level and carried the players into the finals - he was sensational.

Leon's a gun, was one of our best in the first 2 rounds, had a shocker against the best team in the comp (as many recognised champions have done) and will go on to have his best year for the club. its just science.

spot on alfie, Leon is one of our only match winners and he hasnt been bad at all this season. One bad game in three. Round 1 and 2 he was one of the best for us. Some people just need to understand that a team cant win every game and when we do lose dont just critise the players, fair enough with some of them but leon is not one to critise anymore. Stupid thread IMO

maybe we're not going to bad if so many our players were crap and it took Geelong's optimum to beat us by 4 goals

Geelong didnt play at their optimum. They played one quarter at their optimum and played at 50% in the other three quarters.

They did what they needed to do.
