    I know Nick very well and he has started to become real hungry again, I can see it in him.
    Hmmm, I wonder what KFC shares are at the minute??

    Stand by for an outpouring of grief not seen since Lady Di fell off the twig. Personally I thought Port Melbourne would be a comfortable fit - Cuzz and Davo would be a handful both for the opposition and their coach. But I'm thinking Freo with the Whiz on the outer and their record of disasterous recruiting we might pick up one of their young skillful underperformers in a straight swap and do a Bloods revamp. But you are right - gorrrrrn

    Just keep a stiff upper lip, buttercup. Everything will be okay
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    A lot of water has to go under the bridge yet... the Davis-haters should temper their excitement.

    Well at least his name isn't an expletive anymore.

    Why hasn't Don Jezza been playing a more active role in his career?

    The glee that seems to be associated with this potential outcome appears rather distasteful, especially coming from some people...

    The only thing I am happy about is no 4 year contract. That means if he does not pull up his socks, at least we are not tied in.

    Ia gree - certainly a year-by-year contract makes more sense.
    But "I did wonder if there was any low filth that would take enjoyment from his misfortune"...

    I think that's perfectly reasonable, and I tend to agree with you.

    You are obviously referring to Davo's manager Thommo. Now there's a man who has experienced the lot. Punch ups with team mates, relocations, one man media campaigns extolling his virtues, contract terminations and dummy spits. Just the boy for the job. It was obvious during the St Kilda game Davis had no future at the club. The Geelong performance underlined it. His departure frees up much needed cash under the cap. And most importantly there is some justice. ROK can be retained on a fair remuneration. Thats fair. A bloke who gives it his all, works his backside off every match, gets a pay increase while his former fellow half forward flanker who barely raised a sweat gets shown the door. Hopefully Davo can recover his "confidence" with the Dockers or the Dees. As long as it somewhere faaaaarrrr away with another club. Win/ Win I say.
