So who would you drop?

 

[crimson]

In Davis. Our Dempster or Bevan or Richards depending on the matchup needed.

 

[Baby Blue]

Why elevate him when they have been winning since they dropped him? Maybe he still hasn't earnt the team's trust back, maybe he is still an up himself tool or maybe no one deserves to be dropped?

Maybe Dempster but the other two are holding their own at the minute.

IMO you hit the nail on the head.... if he spits the dummy or gets annoyed... then the longer he will wait..!!!!!!. he is being taught an excellent lesson in discipline and sacrifice and humility... and could be the first and most important rocket to stardom, he or fans, could possibly hope for!!

If you wuz Nick.... you would be .....leftrightout & annoyed

He'll be back

 

[big_bazza]

So who would you drop?

dempster, i would have said richards before last weeks game, so yeah dempster, or bevo but he'd have to be unlucky to get dropped

Exactly. It's not like we're losing and he's not in the team. Since he was dropped, we've only dropped one game...just.

Davis will be back before finals, and will burn the opposition, will show why he is genuinely a top class player, is capable of playing midfield & forward, would love to see him on a flank or wing, playing like o'keefe

Sydney's culture is the best in the comp, which is exactly why Davis is on the outer right now. Yes he's a good player. But you should be celebrating the creation of that culture, part of which is the discipline it demands. Other clubs dream of it.

Because this Geelong game is going to be tough, it's very crucial and we find Nick Davis in our best 22.

Also, Nick Davis is nowhere near an "up himself tool", i've met the guy numerous times and he's been nothing but friendly and genuine.

Apparently the reserves are playing on Saturday so if he's named as an emergency i wouldn't be suprised if he was a late selection.

 

[giantsully]

What team is the Sydney reserves?

Strangely enuff, it's the Sydney Swans. They play in the Canberra league, not a particularly prestigious standard.

Roos says he's happy that Davis is where he has to be in terms of "form and fitness" and all the other associated stuff that phrase seems to apply so we must assume he's chosen to run with the side that beat the the third team convincingly last week. Fair enuff too I would think.

Its not "crucial"...it isnt even remotely important that he plays.

 

[natlovestheswans]

Actually it is pretty crucial seeing we could lose our spot in the top 4. I'd say that was pretty crucial.

 

[pharro]

What team is the Sydney reserves?

I think they play as the Sydney Reserves in a local competition against old men and girls. Surprised that he's doing so well?

Thanks. I know it was Port Melbourne VFL a few years ago. Even the VFL is a gulf's distance from the main game. Form there means not a lot!

 

[HighReeve]

You don't think he should come up from such a useless standard of competition - Canberra - To AFL a couple of weeks before the finals, where he will surely be needed?

So who would you drop?

Richards.
One game playing as the loose man in defense? Psh. Not exactly a hard position.

Why elevate him when they have been winning since they dropped him?

Psh. Sydney've been facing 'easy' teams. Davis is one player in twenty two, you think him not playing is the reason they're winning? Because that's what your saying.

Maybe he still hasn't earnt the team's trust back

I read this week that the Leadership group 'Trust him' again.

maybe he is still an up himself too

He might be up himself, but I really don't see what that has to do with his non-selection. It's a football team not a popularity contest.

maybe no one deserves to be dropped?

They might not 'deserve' to be dropped, but they should be, depending on match-ups. Davis can clearly replace any of Ablett, Bevan, Dempster, Grundy, Schneider, Richards or Malkeski in the team.

How has his form been in the magoos?

I can't watch, as I live in Melbourne but the reports I read from fan's who've attended have been along the lines of in the best every week he's played. He's missed a couple due to the bye and only playing bits of games because he's needed in case someone withdraws from the seniors match.

 

[Schneiderman]

not outstanding but very steady, has averaged about 3 goals and 20 touches a game, roos has been happy with his performances, he said that nick has done all he can to get back in the side

From a man that kicked 4 goals in one quarter, in a Semi, in a game where the team kicked only seven, that's hardly spectacular. And we are talking about the worst 'reserves' league in the country.

I'm not saying that his performances haven't been ok, but when the team has one pretty much all of the games since you were dropped, and every team member is playing their part beautifully, then you have to do something pretty special to get back in.

Now if he kicked a bag and collected 30+ touches in a game where the reserves won by just a goal, then he'd be putting in a solid claim to replace someone else.
