      See you later Nic its been good
      Without Davis we wouldnt have a flag he did a fantastic job and will be remembered forever for what you have done.
      Its a real shame that you couldnt quite pull it together enough to stay on the list.
      I dont care how much Playfair tackles and chases inside 50 or how hard he trains he will never ever be as good as Davis.
      Its a shame to see him go

        Paul Bevan's mark in the dying seconds against Carlton (?) late in the season when he went back with the flight and marked strongly flying backwards was one of the best marks you'll see.

          Too right, fantastic contribution Nick made in 2005 wont argue with that . Many others were fantastic during 2005 as well Jeffers.
          His commitment loyalty, ethics has been somewhat insignificant in 2008.

          2008 now and the boys time looks like its finished though with the Swans.

            Spot on.

            Hope Davo finds a club and sticks it up a few.

              There have been plenty of contested marks taken by Swans players. We wouldn't have won the premiership in 2005 without Nick Davis kicking four goals in a quarter in a semi final against the Cats. One of those was a set shot after a contested mark against two Cats. Kirk nearly took mark of the year in the same season. It's not hard to find other examples.

                      It was against Freo. Yes, it was a great mark.

                        Here we are 4 days later and there is still no official confirmation from the club via its website or anywhere in the media. There is no public acknowledgment of Davis' contribution to the club and its only premiership in 75 years from anyone associated with the Swans. Roos couldn't bring himself to acknowledge Davis' role after the semi final in 2005 and it looks like no one will do it now either.

                        Where is Paul Roos, Andrew Ireland etc? Brett Kirk? FFS even Ben Mathews got a farewell press conference.

                        Why this disgraceful treatment? Even his detractors - Connolly included - must admit that Davis is a favourite amongst Swans members and supporters, the favourite son even, yet no one at the club is big enough to explain this decision to the supporters, let alone acknowledging it on the website.

                        I'm sad to say the class shown by Nick Davis has not been replicated by the Sydney Swans.

                          we havent publicly announced all our delistings yet I dont believe- Im guessing that will be when we will hear that sort of thing. I also would be very disappointed in the club should it be the case that nothing is heard.

                            There was an interview with Davo in one of the papers the other day.

                              hammo, have you contacted the club to let them know of your disappointment? I believe that MBH does respond to emails sent to him.
