Round 8 2006?

I've got no argument with anything you say, but we're talking about changing a winning side. There is nothing that suggests that Davis will improve the team enough to make the risk worthwhile.

What risk? We might be winning matches, but the team still has a lot of improvement to do.

[QUOTE]Davis - among Sydney's best yesterday through hard work rather than his typical miracle-maker qualities - said after the match that he had patience to prove he deserved a senior spot.

"I'm just playing my role in this team and if I can get back into the ones I'll play my role there," Davis said.

"I've got my weight and fitness back so I'll just wait my turn and I'll be ready."

I hope this quote doesn't put in jeopardy any proposed recall, spoken to the media again, and the actual quote is about as inflammatory as the last ones, just appear much more politically correct in the context of this article.

Consistensy would demand he be further punished.

I guess this proves that we shouldn't read too much into the written word. When I read this quote from Davo my immediate reaction was that it sounded like he had his backyard in order and was saying all the right things.

To me it sounded Bloods-like.

Yeah, I thought it was rather Stepford too...

It's easy to spin in any direction:

***********HYPOTHETICAL*************

Nick Davis, believing he is still unfairly treated by remaining in the reserves, slammed suggestions from coach Roos that form and fitness have kept him from a recall.
"I've got my weight and fitness back so I'll just wait my turn and I'll be ready."

Despite Davis dominating for the undefeated Swans reserves in his enforced spell with the side, no indication has been given from Roos or the club on whether he remains in the selection frame for the defending premiers title defence.

No - he is saying all the right things. The brain washing process is almost complete.

From the same article as Nick's quote...
Jonas said. "It's fitness and form but he's got back some good form, he's dropped some weight and his fitness is up, so he'll certainly be looked at for selection next week."

Put in a bit more effort and you might give an initial run as a receptionist at Prentiss McCabe

That actually is my point, that by extending some, and ignoring other quotes, a non-story can be made controversial. (not the case here, or probably even with a lot of the Davis articles, but there is always scope for it to happen)


Loved the "disease" they created to manufacture a public awareness and comeback campaign for a client, resulting in deaths across Britain, that show is spun gold!

I only wish I knew a few more of their Britain specific references, I think I'm actually missing quite a bit that I don't even notice.

But you're from Liverpool?

Not really, that was just off the top of the head without having a ready library to refer to.

It actually dispells your argument as you stated he only had one match winning performance in his 130 games.

Speaking of fruit salad, Davis has 28 tackles from 12 games this year for over two tackles a game (his career best for any season and a bit of an indicator that he can rightly feel badly done by) and not one game without a tackle stat. Grundy has four from four games including two "couldn't be bothered chasing" performances.
