Davis asks for second chance

[connolly]

You've seriously got confidence in Playfair taking "pack marks" when the ball goes down there? He's got reasonable hands one-out but give me a break.

He is a very good contested mark. His size and the fact that he knows how to position as a key position forward make him a good pack mark. My definition of a pack is as a minimum one forward and two contesting defenders. With the new tiggy touch rules that protect marking forwards he is a good man to have flying for the pill in a pack.

Playfair's averaging 0.6 CMs per game.

That would be precisely 0.6% more than the KFC Kid. Its the half a percenters that win games.

It would actually be precisely 0.4 CMs less than Davis this year.

I was actually talking about marks overhead in a pack. Gee the last time Kid KFC took a mark above his scone was . . . Nup beats me.

I think you're exaggerating Playfair's ability and contribution somewhat, even with your new specific parameters.

Perhaps but he is big and can take a good grab. We can now bomb it long with some hope that someone can hold it.

Who is Nick Davis?

[ROK Lobster]

Never mind

I think that was a failing of Hall's rather than Davis'.

whilst playfair has been better than i expected i dont think mick malthouse is up all night working on a way to counter his awesome pack marking and brilliant defensive pressure.

The saga continues...

Davis running out of time | Herald Sun

And now we find he's not contracted to 2011 after all.

Well that ends that then. Bye Bye Nick Davis

[Triple B]

I know Nick very well and he has started to become real hungry again, I can see it in him.

Hmmm, I wonder what KFC shares are at the minute??

Stand by for an outpouring of grief not seen since Lady Di fell off the twig. Personally I thought Port Melbourne would be a comfortable fit - Cuzz and Davo would be a handful both for the opposition and their coach. But I'm thinking Freo with the Whiz on the outer and their record of disasterous recruiting we might pick up one of their young skillful underperformers in a straight swap and do a Bloods revamp. But you are right - gorrrrrn
