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 -
Is it true he has re-signed until 2010 or 2011, because that is a serious blunder wherever he plays, but especially if his career continues in Canberra!Sports do not build character. They reveal it....Heywood Broun

Some foightin' talk from young Nick. I like the attitude that comes across in this article. Let's hope he can nail 3 or 4 goals, playing from the midfield, tomorrow morning (or should that be latter this morning?)

Well it's nice to see he isn't dropping his bundle.Comment

I like his attitude in the article.
"It was an opportunity to make my mark on the game and it was the one thing I had control over. It was a debacle after that, though. I probably didn't play as well as I would've liked to.
"I'm going to get my confidence back and the club has to get their confidence back in me, and we'll be back on the right track. I don't want to be playing bad, but I am. That's the reality of life.
"I'm going to fight my way out of it.''Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

It will be nice if we see the same sort of positive talk from the coach and/or leadership group - ie something along the lines of "Nick's form is down at the moment. We hope he gets it back. When he is on song he is our best 22 and a Nick Davis in our best 22 will go a long way to helping us go deep into September".Comment

Back it up now Davo.
Heard this last time you where in this position as well.
Talk is cheap, just go do it and get your spot back.
Thought the photo of Davo in the Herald Sun the other day was exactly where he sits right now.
Really hope he can come back to his best though as Ive said in the past , we need him when he is right as he is a proven goalkicker.Est 1874

Who thinks this would help us?
I've been thinking about this for a while, Maybe years even! I think that if he was pulled aside by the coaching staff and told to get in tip top shape, Nick Davis would make a great attacking midfielder!. Spend this next month in the middle in the 2's and then when he comes back put him straight in the centre and tell him not to worry about his man and go out there and win the ball and occasionally sneak forward and kick goals. He has all the skills and enough speed and even more importantly a smart football brain! His work ethic is the only question but if Roosy sat him down and said to him that they want to re-invent him as a midfielder i would hope that he would relish the challenge. Maybe i'm dreaming but i really think that Nick could be a top line midfield superstar if only he was willing to bust his gut and run like Kirky and ROK. Who wouldn't love to see him bursting out of the centre and hitting BBBH on the chest!.Comment

It has been mentioned a few times in some of the threads, but it does seem like a good idea. Would love to see it implemented, if not just for a bit of change to the current format..."In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment
-
If Hall or O'Loughlin have two bad weeks kicking for goal, does their ability get questioned? If we stick with Nick and show him the respect given to our other forwards, he will come through for us more times than not.[/QUOTE]
Why is MO'L immune from criticism on this site? Granted he did okay on Sunday, but his late rally was when the game was over. Davis cops it day in day out, but there are plenty of other culprits as well.Comment

a) Nick Davis is soft and lazy. Doesn't tackle or chase..blah blah been covered in this site. MOL tackles and tries to create something from nothing more than Nick ever does.
b) My dislike for Nick Davis is on par with the unofficial Nick Davis appreciation society (pres Stellation) who seem to bag any player yet keep on having love sit ins about Nick. It's not uncommon to read "But I thinkand his premiership credits have run out" and then "But if wasn't for Nick and that Geelong game.." at the same time. The same club have decided to put blame on Paul Roos for umm i don't know..but something.
c) Frustrating player who has been carrying "potential" and "has more talent in his right pinky" tags for waaaay too long and only showing us 40% of that so called talent.
e) refer to point b again.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
