If there is someone clever enough to put up the article in todays SMH on Nick that would be good - a balanced article, he blames himself in most instances, but the club isnt totally blameless here either. I consider there must be some dickheads making decisions at the club, even though there is supposed to be a "no dickheads" rule. I mean they picked up Shaw!!!Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

Farewell Nick D. Thanks for the fantastic memories over the last 6 years. Through ups and downs, no one will ever forget the 2005 final against the Cats.
That game will always be remembered as one of the greatest Swans game! Thank you and best of luck in the future.Comment

Chances are that what he said was not ghost written by the Swans media department. I thought that what he said was honest, intelligent and articulate.
Can't wait to see him kick 5 on Bevan for Melbourne and crunch Kirk in a bone jarring tackle. Kicking the winning goal after the siren and mooning Roos would be icing on the cake, but only if the result did not affect the Swans position on the ladder at the end of the season.Comment

Davis is ultimately a player who is at his best when he is allowed to do his own thing. When he plays like that, he can win you a game."Regardless of what the outer image is, I never gave up in any game, I've never not put in on the training track. I just did it in my own way and it might have come across that I didn't care, but if someone doesn't care, they don't last 10 years and sit through the hours and hours of meetings, and make the sacrifices you've got to make to be a footballer these days. I cared."Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

A real shame that we as a FC can't manage anyone outside of the 'Bloods ethos', which IMO is showing signs of breaking down anyway, with a range of players unhappy.
I would like to know why the biggect **** head at our club - Barry Hall - is tolerated in an apologist-like fashion by Roos, and Davis gets treated so poorly.
Good luck ND. You saved us when all looked lost!"As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.Comment

Sad to see you go Nick. I hopefully you are remembered more for your onfield actions than offield. Of course the '05 semi final springs to mind but your effort and determination in the last few crazy minutes of the GF will always stay with me too. and a few of your one-out marks and single-handed grabs won't be forgotten either.
Good luck in your future and I hope you find another outlet for your talent.
Dave

My enduring memory of Nick Davis will always be some footage from the pub after the 05 GF win;
Irish, Davo and Leapin' were in front of the camera having a beer and getting asked a few question, nothing fancy, it was Channel 10 after all. Irish was talking about the finial few seconds of the game, specifically Leo's mark and Leo was saying how he didn't know WTF was going on when Irish jumped him after the siren as he didn't hear it. Nick interjects with;
'We wouldn't have been there if not for me' and then desperately tries to drag the topic of conversation to his Geelong Qtr.
The look on Irish and Leo's faces!-Comment
