    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        All in all, I don't think it is unreasonable to mark Davis harder than some others because he is naturally more talented.

        Mark Waugh syndrome!

            I'm still aboard. I mostly get frustrated with two aspects of Nick's game.

            The first is his second efforts. Late last year I thought this was one area that he had improved on, but this year he seems to have taken a backwards step. Hopefully it's because he is still mindful of those hammies and time will get him back to the chasing I saw last year.

            The second is not his fault. I don't know how many times I've yelled at the tele or out at the game "Hall's not the only bloody forward!". No wonder he's looking disinterested. I would too if the other kids wouldn't play with me.

                Hall gets a kick at 50 and wants to short pass all the time - more often with disastrous results.

                I would like to see Davis bulk up a la Brendon Fevola. He could be unstoppable.
                I'm still on the Davis bandwagon, but for the life off me I still cant remember when he even got a 'hardball', Roos needs to put him in the forward pocket when he would be deadly.

                    Davis actually averages 1.7 clearances and 1.5 contested possessions per game. Players rarely average more than 3 of either.
                    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
