If Davis does not play McVeigh would be handy on the wide open spaces of the MCG .

That explains his performance on Saturday night. He has had a bugger of a year with injuries!! -
The guys has had a shocking run.Comment

The guy needs to get off the junk food and into the gym. If he was as fit as Maxfield, he'd be a lot less injured.Comment

Somebody should work on his low self-esteem.Comment

Would being fitter help with impact injuries like the bruising and (potential) stress facture (half puzzled/half honestly have no idea if it would help)? I am also not sure if it would help with the hip injury he did in Rd1, but if it would he was fit and ready to go then anyway.Originally posted by barry

We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

I'm not sure how being fit would prevent stress fractures. I think we should rest him this week.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Exactly impact and stress injuries can't be prevented by top fitness but certainly rehabilitation can be aided by a good diet, attitude and work in the gym. Paul Roos alluded to this this morning saying that the players who have played every game this year are generally professional in their attitude and he especially commended Goodes. I don't think that the lower motivation etc. of Davis has caused the injuries but he should learn to work harder and not articulate his thoughts regarding his laziness. The latter tends not to endear him to Swans supportersand you wouldn't imagine he would be many people's favourite as a result.LIFE GOES ONComment

While Davis has shown glimpses of potential, I am sure glad we didnt pay anymore than a 2nd round pick for him.Comment

I don't want to open this can of worms again, but Nick articulating his thoughts and being honest in that interview did endear him to this Swans fan. It makes a refreshing change from a footy cliche packed interview.Originally posted by Snowy

Same goes for me. Its nice to see players being honest about things. Will make it all the more special if he can turn his attitude around and get super fit, knowing how much harder he had to work for it.Originally posted by stellation

I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

A lot of other players have bad injuries but they do not make a big thing of it, especially the day after they failed to perform in a big game. Smacks of bruised ego for mine...
Head down, bum up Nick!"As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.Comment

He just seems to whinge alot dont u think? He was like that at collingwood and his attitude seems to have crept over to our swannies.
Even Roosy says that he is a great player when he is has that mental motivation going as well.
Always seem to hear about why he is so unhappy, how he was going to change to League, blah blah blah. You dont hear Goodsey or Magic or Bally complain about their injuries. Thank god it was only a 2nd round draft pick for him, absolute bargainComment

It's just typical isn't it? We've just been told for the past two weeks that we were in better condition for the finals then we were last year in regards to injuries, and now we get told Nick is surviving on Leo like injections.
If Nick is low in confidence (due to his injury) surely this is going to make it worse? Missing out on the finals!
