Why didn't they kick it to Nick?

And being at Full Forward means you can just stand there and expect delivery of the ball? ... I said, I am perhaps unfair to Nick, I like him, I like him as a player, I think he is great, I'd love him to kick a bag each week, I'd love him to be on the ground 100% of the time - But he has to do something, create, walk, run, make space - Just because you are at full forward does not give you a ticket to kick all the goals. Unfair to Nick, because I am not Roos, I am not privvy to the instructions he was given. They were my observations, and I am not alone.
hard to judge when not there. But u can see in wide screen shots davis running hard and leading screaming for the ball and the ball kicked wider to a contest or to hall and 40 defenders, he runs past players who he is a better kick for goal than (the whole team) and they dont handball it to himm yet they will handball off to others.
Maybe after all that crap which seems to happen quite a bit, he thought bugger it ill stand still for 2 minutes, or maybe he didnt want to ruin the photoTheres not much left to sayComment

At the game you could see he was pissed off and his body language showed it.It was confirmed today to me by one of the younger players at the kids day.Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

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

I saw Davis leading a bit out of the goal square. I think it went to him twice - and not particularly well - and other than that the ball never went near him. Part of that was to do with atrocious I50 delivery.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I thought Everitt played reasonably well last night.
Anyway, on Davis, watching the game again and recalling watching live last night, he did a lot of work in the last quarter scouting packs and ball ups, but nothing seemed to go in his direction. As for passing, four times they passed it to him and each time put it on top of his head. He's not the greatest overhead mark (not many in our side are - MOL misses a lot) so delivery like that to a smallish forward is not going to reap many rewards. On one occasion MOL brought his man over, when Davis was one-on-one, to mess things up. On four other occasions he was ignored when making good leads.
It didn't appear to me that Davis had a bad attitude last night. Seemed that he didn't get a lot of game time, spent much of it in the goal square, was ignored on a lot of occasions, and wasn't able to have anything else go right. Why he didn't have much time further up the field I don't know.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I reckon that's because half the time the midfielders weren't watching the ruckwork.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
