The Let's Hear it for Leon thread

[twoforjoy]

Lifted at just the right time. He was really good against the Saints and he bobbed up everywhere last night. Another top effort from the No.1. Share the love here...

Was going to start a simliar thread. Awesome. Getting back to his best!!

 

[Brent24]

I love you Leon.

 

[unplugged]

My favourite player for sure. Always good to see him in form.

I'd hate to see him go to another club.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

He's been very good these past two seasons. He took a long time to develop, but when fit now he's a very damaging player for us with his exceptional balance and footskills.

 

[Optimax]

was very good last night, i dont think he mised a atregt with any of his 20odd kicks.

Hope he keeps it up for the rest of the season and finals

 

[Pie eyed]

No way he is going to Port.
They can wish in one hand and spit in the other.

leonidas davis... what a great game by our little bolt of lightning.. his kicking is brilliant.. his goal was better. i love when he waves his index finger in joy after a goal..

 

[Pie Legend]

Our best player, only second on the ground to Burgoyne. Great run and excellent delivery. Keep it up

Reported on "After The Game" tonight..... Leon Davis has scotched Adelaide newspaper reports that he will be going to Port Adelaide.

Leon says he is quite happy to stay at Collingwood.

Great news!!

 

[TwisTz]

Gun.

Loved his goal last night too. I called it as soon as he touched the ball.

 

[alfiiee]

im worried guys..

i cant see him being with us in 2009

he was my favourite player when he started and still is up there and id hate to see him leave..

but i have a scary feeling about it all.

You have no idea how long I sat here trying to work out what this word was...... lol

Don't run towards disaster with open arms, alfiiee. If we love him enough he'll stay.

More than a gun - a bazooka

Was in the paper saying he doesnt want to be traded to adeliade, or for that matter play anywhere but collingwood

 

[Thommo 42]

His skills on Friday night were on another planet compared to everyone else on the park from either side.

 

[Medhurst Magic]

I love the bloke

Early in the year he was outstanding,but you could see that ankle injury really got the better of him in the middle part of the season..

However, the last two weeks, he has been back to his best & his skills are sublime.

He is class with a capital C

Keep up the good work Magic

 

[stui magpie]

Classic example of a guy who had the skillls, who just needed time (lots of time) to fulfill that potential. Love the guy. he's gone from an inconsistent small forward to a legit midfielder and a very damaging one at that,

When he gets his hands on the ball, I sit up and pay attention because something is about to happen. Total class act.

 

[Mental Magpie]

Way out of left field, but if Burns were to retire at season's end (I hope not, I think he's got at least a couple more years left in him) could Leon be in the running for the captaincy?

Could Leon be the captain for the next couple of years until Pendles, Thomas etc are ready to captain the club?

 

[well left]

He's still considered by opposition supporters as a soft flashy outside forward pocket but that opinion can not be further from the truth. I think, when fully fit, he is not far from being an elite midfielder and is easily our most important.

Agreed!

 

[LeisureSuitLori]

Don't you just love Carlton supporters comparing this marvel to Eddie Betts.

Has Eddie had more than 28 posies a season?

 

[BEEG]

If Davis does want to leave he didnt hurt our chances of getting something decent for him

 

[The Dawes]

When Leon is up and about in the midfield we look so much classier and quicker.

His last two weeks have been excellent.

 

[twoforjoy]

the igniter got off to a ripper start last night and had another awesome game.


Article in todays Age sums it up pretty well. Go the pocket rocket!!
