Tom Davidson

[Didak_84]

Was just wondering who he plays like is he like chris tarrant or like anthony rocca and will he play seniors straight up next yr

Tom is supposed to be more like a Tarrant than a Rocca. All these reports of him and his ability and potential lol...I have only seen him play twice and not for too long and I didn't notice the second coming

I certainly hope that he will be as good as people say, time will tell I guess. But after having done a knee so young I can only hope that hasn't diminished his much touted potential.

Trot out the old copy from when he was drafted - better mark than Tarrant, but not as fast.

I say odds are good we'll see him in '04.

I really want to see reports on his strength and weight. And if he can run, that'd be a plus also!

Whilst he's an outside tall forward, that doesn't mean he didn't require some significant bulking up (I haven't seen him since '02).

Given that Kinnear has been our only tall forward option (with Molloy passed it last season), I expect at least one of the two tall Taswegians to get a run next season.

Tommy Davidson has been rated by many at Collingwood as a better grab than Taz... Pretty big shoes to fill if it's true, cause Tazza is a half decent mark.

Yep that is true Zeke.
In his first year at Willi I saw him probably 5 times.
His marking was exceptional.
Sure it was in a lesser competition but it was very very good.
He is also a very good kick.

I think he will play seniors although I wouldn't expect too much in 2004 as it takes time to get over a knee reconstruction.
2005 will be when we see him at his best.

It was true at the end of the 2002 season. Who knows how Tarrant and Davidson compare now...Id say Tarrant has come along in leaps and bounds since the end of 2002, and we all know what happened to Davidson with his knee. Might be a bit of a waiting game with Tommy.

Hopefully the knee hasn't screwed him up too much.
