Read in the newspaper today the two players reported to have had a run-in with each other at a hairdressing salon were one Chris Egan and another Leon Davis.

Sketchy details but what I can make of it is Chris Egan walked into the salon to find Leon Davis inside with his girlfriend. Egan promptly struck his missus and chased Leon down the street, the former proving to have more toe.

When the storm died down, seems Leon Davis and his wife were innocently together shopping when they ran into Egan's partner, and the two were merely chewing the fat after bumping into each other unexpectedly.

Messrs Egan has hardly set the world on fire since being drafted at pick 7 in 2004 has played a mere 25 games and never held onto a regular senior position. Has had a couple of scrapes off field including breaking curfew with Davis last year, now even that Aboriginal brotherhood has seemingly crumbled beyond repair. Egan has been criticised for not showing enough effort on the football field and seems to be rapidly becoming the black sheep of the Collingwood playing list.

However, at his best he is a polished and skilful footballer.

Time for us to cut our losses and move on?

What would he be worth on the draft table one wonders.

Or can he turn it around?
 
chrsi didnt strike his missus, and didnt chase leon any where Massive beat up

leon saw egans Gf in the salon said hi (his wife was next door), egan saw leon and they exchanged some heated words and one may of pushed the other.

Nothing more than that, sure it was quickly sorted

Witnesses attesting otherwise, even those who weren't in the direct vicinity aware of somewhat of a kerfuffle. Bit over the top whatever happened as Leon Davis didn't do anything and not good to have arguments ongoing like this within your list.

Big indicator to me of a massively flawed mindset in young Chris.

Hopefully he has a good think about where he is headed (ie. the scrapheap) if he doesn't turn himself around a bit.
 
I wouldn't read too much into this "dispute", but he needs to show a lot to remain on the list next year regardless, IMHO.

Im still all for letting him go next season any way, but i still believ this si somewhat of a blow up of massive proportions

A highly dubious, but nonetheless entertaining account.

Somehow I don't see Leon running from Egan though.
 
Very entertaining story, but I think they forgot to say that Egan had a gun... Thats the only reason Neon would have run from him.

When did this take place?
2 or 3 weeks ago
 
So the media have sat onthis for 3 weeks and break the story now! Sounds like they wanted the dust to settle so they could change the facts. Which paper?
Was on the 3aw rumour file, was confirmed by the club and was promptly posted on Eb&W forum the day it was on AW.

So yeah they waited until they had nothing negative to write about collingwood and released the story to sell papers.

I think the club needs to talk up Ego as much as they can so that the ***** over in Freo recruiting land will send us Pavlich!!! :thumbsu:

I say we just sack Chris Egan now anyway.

He won't get another game for Collingwood, he won't even hold his spot in the VFL IMO.
Pay him out and let him go. We're not going to get anything for him come seasons end.
 
As a first-round draft pick who has shown all what he was capable of when drafted (dash, skills and goal sense), he has trade value. But these days, players get much more exposed to sportsmanship errors, the place where Egan has lacked improvement. He doesn't shepherd on the occassions he should, he's a selfish footballer, and his errors when made are pretty monumental.

He has polish, but with Leon Davis, Alan Didak and Dale Thomas, who are similar players with better attributes in almost everything than Egan, it is hard to make your spot.

I would also think Egan, who simply underperforms at VFL level wouldn't be a first. I am sure players like Davis and Thomas would both struggle in the seconds as well...as they both, like Egan, adapt to the fast fanetic pace and step up infront of a crowd.
 
your not going to get every player to like eachother thats life just like mcleod and edwards dont like eachother but they still play for the jumper and thats what matters. you have to persist with egan, it took leon alot of years to play the footy his playing today and i think there in that same mold of player who can play up forward or on the wings

Don't shoot the messenger, just recounting what the article in today's Herald-Sun truly said. Collingwood, players involved denied much in it, witnesses didn't. :thumbsu:

Leon ain't exactly a slowpoke...

I wasn't having a go at you mate, just at the details of the story.

And I meant I don't see Leon needing to run from Egan ;)

Official - Hairdresser fight was Leon and Chris

After the rumour mill went nuts it turns out "Neon Leon" does equally good work off the field, being the man in the hairdressers with Egan's missus. Maybe why Eg's can't get a kick!
 
Re: Official - Hairdresser fight was Leon and Chris

Refer to the Chris Egan thread.
 
Non event from a non newspaper.

Next they will tell us when one of the players gets diarrhoea after eating in a team mate's restaurant.

At least the pages of the :rolleyes:Herald Sun would come in handy at that stage.
