I am blown away how someone like Nic who has loads of ability & footy nous had next to no opportunities over the past season & a 1/2, while Bevan with no football brain/nous was given 80 senior games to learn new ways to turn the pill over, & still doesn't know how to out body an opponet in a marking contest!
Surely not the Bevan who finished 6th in the B&F.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

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.
Davis, Davis, Davis, oh he's dropped his dentures!In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

Nick had too much flair, personality and ability obviously - the others couldnt compete, so if he didnt conform to the majority and become dull, non descript and toe the oh so boring party line then he had no hope.
Anyway if he ends up at another club - I will still applaud him, I'm sure the public humiliation that he endured from the Swans will stand him in good stead in the future.
Roos better hope that neither of his boys cop the same treatment should they ever make it to AFL level.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

There were several games where he kicked at least 4 goals.
Essendon Round 11 2003. 4 goals (Sydney's first win over the Bombers for 6 years)
Brisbane Round 1 2004. 4 goals before 1/2 time. Unfortunately he was injuried in the second half
Melbourne Round 5 2004. 4 goals Davis' return game from Round 1 that season
Richmond Round 22 2004, 5 goals plus Brownlow votes
Hawthorn Round 1 2005, 4 goals
Kangaroos Round 21 2005, 5 goals
Hawthorn Round 22 2005, 4 goals. (In fact there was a patch of 4 games in row, ultimately concluding with THAT last 3 second goal at the SCG in the Semi Final against the Cats, where Davis kicked 16 goals)
Hawthorn Round 9 2006, 4 goals
Fremantle Round 13 2006, 4 goals, (Davis' comeback after being dropped)
Richmond Round 17 2007, 4 goals plus Brownlow votes
Hawthorn Round 22 2007, 4 goals. (He had a great record against the Hawks, 18 goals in 6 games)
OK he wasn't Plugger, but he was a very handy extra forward, who, at his peak, had the best kick in the game.Comment

I also loved that tackle tackle tackle when his shoe fell off agst Carlton in '05. Caused a spill and ROK scooped on the ball and kicked a goal!
Ahhh Nick, if only!Comment

The other day, thinking of what might have been, I went back and watched the 2005 highlights DVD again. Davis features quite a bit. Surely it was his most consistent year. It was more than just that qrtr of football that he should be remembered as a Swan for.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment
