Doyle probably; Davis not yet

We clung to that theory re Schauble until about round 19 last year.

Story in the Tele today, Davis is one of the emergs flying to Melb.
Surely he'll be back next week.

I am not sure how this will help his "form & fitness", given Roos wanted him to have one more hit out in the seconds??

Hmm. In Nick Davis's run in the 2nd's he's actually missed two games. The bye, and now this.

Davis must be playing. We've slotted in an emergency in our last 4 games.

The reserves play on Sunday this week and the seniors play on Saturday. Davis can still play in the reserves if he isn't called in, can't he?

I don't think anyone disputes that we wouldn't have won the Geleong game without Davis' brilliance. But you'd think he was the only player who produced matchwinning performances the way this is focussed on.

Would we have beaten St Kilda in the PF without O'Keefe's BOG performance or Schneider kick-starting the goal spree in the final term.

Would we have finished anywhere near the top 4 without the superb midfield performances of Jude Bolton in the first third of the season when the rest of the team (Davis included) was struggling with injury, form or fitness. Or how about Hall who kicked more than twice as many goals as any other Swan and was clearly the difference in many games.

How about Buchanan's superb final quarter of the GF (including kicking the winning goal) or LRT's great first quarter, where he was instrumental in keeping the Eagles to a lowish score even though they dominated possession in the early part of that match?

Davis performance deserves to be lauded, to become "legendary" in the history of the club, up there alongside 'Plugger's Point'. But while it might have been an important step along the way to the premiership, there were many other individual and team efforts that were equally as important.

Yes, but none of the above are exiled in the acktaffle.

Yes, the story I read said exactly that. Would be funny if someone went down and he played though.

Contrary to popular opinion, planes do land in the Territory on Sundays.

I wasn't aware it was a Sunday game

What a broken record???. ?this is what Nicky did last year?????. ?we wouldn?t have won without Nicky last year????.. ?last year, Nicky?.?. Listen guys, THAT WAS LAST YEAR. That was then, this is now. Just because a player performed wonders the year before, doesn?t give him the licence to be petulant and not expect to be disciplined. There was a very public story about Joe Misiti of Essendon when he returned after the ?93 premiership all ?porked? up. He was told in no uncertain terms to shape up or ship out, was dropped and was given targets and goals to reach before his re-inclusion. Was there an outcry of ?look at what he did last year?? No, it no longer mattered.

I would think that wouldn't be too difficult to organise.
