Leon Davis

[darren forssman]

in keeping with the spirit...we should go after him and offer the pies our 1st rounder.

 

[Hybrid7]

I would say no.
We already have one mercurial forward, who is in a hell of a lot better form than Davis, and Davis is 29, maybe if he was younger it might be a consideration.

Perhaps he needs a seachange, but if you cant get kicks in a team that is dominating inside 50's then its pretty harsh evidence you have lost it.

 

[Pivo]

Well, we are expected to miss the 8 next year (and for years to come) so there would be no need to worry about Leon going missing during September so why the hell not? Isn't like we have an over abundance of small forwards at the club.














*Wonders if I need an emoticon at the end...decides to risk it*

 

[alfy!]

Hell no. Gee, now we are starting threads for players dropped for games. What will be next, guys that don't smile in team photos?

 

[year of the cat]

Might require both our compo picks as well with a finals record like his.

 

[CF]

tell him he's dreamin

 

[winty]

I'd offer the Pies a melted Mars bar and an extremely over-ripened banana for him.

 

[maximus steel]

Surely this is a joke thread, his 29 and why do we need another small forward with Johnson, Chapman, Stokes, Varcoe and Byrnes all doing a good job. I wouldnt give our 4th round draft pick for him.

 

[Sarah2Donohue]

Good find! He could keep Blakey company in the "magoos" during September

Who wants to start a thread to select a squad of 22, purposely designed to fail in Sept?....could be worth a giggle.

 

[darren forssman]

its leon neon...the most electrifying man in sports entertainment.

you're right year of the cat, we need to up the ante, the 2 compo picks plus our first rounder this year and a future unprotected first rounder before 2014.

 

[corio bay]

im sure the boys would be willing to take further pay cuts to squeeze in this true champion of September

 

[r32godzilla]

No way would I go after Davis. He's a hack and always goes missing when it counts. Forget it!

 

[vinum coupe]

Look...the fact is we're going to drop out of the finals pretty soon.
And it's known that although Leon is a very good player he doesn't perform in finals.

So his finals is not going to affect us.

Maybe Collingwood will take SJ? Will free up some cap space.

 

[noclashjumpers]

Too old. Too ordinary.

You are joking right?!

Why would we trade SJ, who is still playing great footy, for Davis who..... well....isnt?!

And with Ablett gone, we dont have the salary cap constraints - its not like we need to make way to try and snag a Judd or Franklin from another club.

 

[Smarty_]

I'd offer the Pies a melted Mars bar and an extremely over-ripened banana for him.

Geez, no need to pay overs I think the melted mars bar was enough...you're far too generous, I think

 

[Hoffy95]

Just because he's black guys doesn't mean he's for sale.

sj is getting a bit neon leon like...cant remember what he did last finals series.

 

[Archangel]

Maybe Leon could clean the dog shit off Selwood's boots; surely his qualified for that

I guess you're right.
Would Menzel get the trade done? Or Duncan? He's obviously out of favour as we dropped him quite early in the year.

 

[alfy!]

Leon would help bolster our VFL side for next season.

I really, really think you're overestimating Leon Davis' abilities here.

not sure that would get it done vc...this is the most electrifyin' man in sports entertainment.

we need to throw in some future first rouunders to sweeten it for the pies.

This!

Ok, it depends if the Pies are willing to wait this long for some rewards.
But, how about we give them our last pick this year, but sign over the rites for the entitlement of any progeny of Ablett Jnr, Selwood, Bartel in the future?
