Only the 14 disposals for Davey but it was certainly quality over quantity. He doesn’t have the fitness levels of a lot of these Victorian kids but that will come with a few years at an AFL club.

Did he play more midfield or forward?
But what about at Essendon?

So yeah only the 14 touches and no goals (although he almost kicked goal of the day just needed to seated a tad, completely burnt of his midfield opponent in the centre bounce and almost kicked the running goal). So yeah he looked so involved in the first half just looking so clean and composed around the ground with his vision and composure by hand and foot really showing, no other player on the ground has the crowd awestruck like he did and you have to note that the majority of the crowd wouldn’t actually know who he is and who he is the son of.
Some of his kicks to advantage and vision where very good and his movement in close is unconventional so it’s hard for opposition players to predict what he will do. He didn’t often show his straight line speed but when he did he looked electric. He bumps like Tippa already aswell hard but fair his opponents will always come of 2nd best when he bumps them.
Playing alot of time in the midfield in a stacked Oakleigh side says a lot about how he is rated at Oakleigh and obviously his endurance is lower than all of them but honestly that is the only thing keeping him from putting out the production worthy of a top 10 pick.

sounds a bit like zach merrett in terms of the fitness question
That’s it. Fake ACL - NOW.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Merrett played cricket in the summer of his draft year rather than do a footy preseason, so was squeezed to a forward flank for Sandringham while Christian Salem, Josh Kelly, Karl Amon, and the other guy who I’m forgetting right now played in the middle. He turned out alright though.
Even with the fitness issues Davey is still being played on ball, yeah as I said it says a lot about his talent
Player comparison??
Shaun Burgoyne??
Yeah Burgoyne, Shane Edwards. He is a strong mark overhead but not really a leaper so not like Shai Bolton.

sounds like Cyril Riolis draft year to me. We never really saw the cyril the midfielder in AFL due to his hammys.
can’t wait to draft the david myers equivalent

Is she an exponent of power?
Thank you for reminding me who to blame for her being “rested” this week.
At three quarter time she complained about our gross inaccuracy. Given she’s kicked 13.2 this year I think she has the right to doing so.

We might have trade next years draft picks to match a bid of that’s the case
we have a first rounder.
best case we pick a player up first plus Davey match with second rounder.
Worst case we trade out our first round pick for points as he is expected to be picked before our first pick.

We need to get a top 5 pick, another 1st round pick for Munkara, and then points to match the Davey Twins bids…
