    ... and I think he's contracted until 2011.

    VERY expensive ressie.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    I don't think we'll get a good enough trade for him. Davis is a lot better than a 3rd rounder or a fringe player.

    I think you are right.

    Is Davis of more value to the club as a talented forward with an attitude problem, or during trade week this year, knowing that many of our senior players won't be around for much longer? I think the answer is pretty obvious, and you'll find the decision has already been made.

    The only possible hope of Davis returning to the seniors again would be an unexpected serious injury to someone in the current squad.

    I'd take a high 2nd round pick,after all the Swans have a habit of picking up good players later in the draft.

    If he goes to another team we all know he wouldnt chase our defenders down.
    Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

    It's a classic photo. Great location for a 'secret meeting'!

    Davo's manager might be the best in the league, but somehow he doesn't have that look that inspires.

    Short of a drastic injury run, it's hard to see him getting back in the team. His footy future may depend on how willing he is to leave Sydney.

    Yeah, don't think we'll get a high 2nd rounder though. Why would a club trade for a player who has said that he doesn't want to play/live anywhere else but Sydney? Add to that his perceived attitude problems and the fact that we've signed him to 2011, says to me that we won't get a decent trade for him.

    I would take a 3rd rounder for him.

    It's a strong draft and with the GC coming in soon it's important we top up on kids.

    given his talent isnt it worth giving davis a couple of games or a month in the seniors to see if if hes got it. If he had the confidence up knowing he had a spot in the side im sure we would reap the rewards.

    he is on the list and contracted til 2011 we may as well use his skills, imagine davis at his best in our current form. If he plays badly at least we know.

    Lets face it he can kick 20 goals in the ressies or even run and tackle everyone but its such a low standard it doesnt count for much

    He wont trade, the reason that we have him rather than collingwood was that he got home sick. The only thing that might happen is he decides to "retire"
    would love to see him run out with the seniors however because i think he would pick up after a few games!
