@THE_DON1 how did Davey go playing for Xavier
Not his best game but the conditions didn’t suit him at all or anyone for that matter. A lot of talent in that game but not the best game for judging talent or to watch in general which was a shame.
Presume you mean Alwyn Davey Jr.
Davey Sr is no longer with us.
You are going to be so busy correcting everyone over the next few years.

BEVY OF SMALL FORWARDS TO PICK FOR BOMBERS
An Essendon father-son prospect is turning heads at a time the Bombers are beginning to look thin on small forward stocks.
Alwyn Davey Jnr – the son of former Bombers forward Alwyn Davey – was added to the NAB AFL Academy squad earlier this month, joining Essendon Next Generation Academy prospect Anthony Munkara.
Davey’s twin brother, Jayden, is also a Bombers father-son prospect but ruptured his ACL in March, sidelining him for his entire draft year.
Some recruiters rated Jayden higher than Alwyn last year – albeit from limited exposure – but expect a bid to come relatively early on Alwyn at November’s national draft.
“He’s got good speed, he takes the game on, pressures well,” one recruiter said of Alwyn.
“He can play midfield and forward.
“Alwyn has more runs on the board, but the flashes that Jayden showed last year were pretty exciting.”
Alwyn stands 180.7cm tall, with Jayden marginally more at 181cm.
Both were listed with the Oakleigh Chargers in the NAB League this year and attend school at Xavier College, where Alwyn is also playing school football.
Munkara, who hails from the Tiwi Islands, is the only member of the AFL Academy from the Northern Territory this year but has played games for West Adelaide’s under-18s in the SANFL.
Under NGA rules, Essendon will only be able to match a bid on the exciting 188cm forward if he drops outside the first 40 picks in this year’s draft.
Essendon lost small forward Orazio Fantasia to Port Adelaide at the end of 2020, while Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti has been unsighted at senior level this season and Devon Smith has been in and out of Ben Rutten’s team.

College footy starts tomorrow and he is playing against St Peters who are traditionally one of the powerhouses.
A lot of funding goes into college football and all the coaches are ex AFL/SANFL
