AFL Player #33: Alwyn Davey Jr - Lindsay Griffith Rising Star

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
2024 My Boy Draft: Pick 4, yodellinhank

 

[ant555]

Exactly what I expected. If he was a first-rounder a club would have bid on him but you'll never admit you are wrong on anything.

I have admitted being wrong on plenty of things and in writing here. Not my issue if you do not read it. Why would I change my mind now ? Fact is my prediction (draft week) was late first round or second round. He has not played a game yet so why would I admit I am wrong about him. From all reports he is doing well.
In two years time if he is delisted I will say I was wrong in the same way I have said I was wrong about Laverde coming good or the fact I never rated Zaharakis before the draft and did not think he would make it. I think I even wrote that Jack Reiwoldt was a one trick pony. Also on record for saying I would have pickled Rhys Palmer over Cyril Rioli. Publicly said Daniher would stay. I have had no issues owning the stuff I have been wrong about.

 

[eDPS]

Just out of interest, who would you push out of the first round to bring Davey in?

I’ll refer to my rankings

You should've picked Rioli.

 

[ant555]

You should've picked Rioli.

yep.

Haha I literally just took a screenshot of those rankings so I could reply and be a smartass

What a little sneak preview that was. He's in the team round 1. If Jayden is close to the player he is, we will be in for a treat in a few years.

 

[Vander18]

Reminds of the WCE style small forwards - Ryan, Cripps, Petrocelli.

They get up high, open up space behind and then use speed to work back. Davey looks more that type than a pure inside 50 goal sneak.

I like him, plays round 1 for mine.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Needs to work on his tackling technique a bit but wow he has some nice skills, agility and evasiveness. Very quick too. Can't wait to see more of him.

 

[ant555]

A little look into why a lot rated him late first round or second round. Thought his pressure was a factor the whole time he was on.

pressure is good, his hands are good. will learn that a defender will duck as he closes so he doesn't give away the high free kick.

cant remember which game you pointed it out, but once you did you can really notice his awareness around the defensive side of the play. He finds and guards that space really well.

 

[FlyingV]

Looks really composed. Great start.

 

[eth-dog]

Super pressure. Staking his claim for round 1!

 

[Red Black and Blue]

How about that snap off one step, he's snapped from 41-42 metres out and it's gone through near post height. To be able to snap 50 metres at 18 shows he's a powerful little unit too.

According to commentary, his name is ALLwyn thanks

Good omen

It's only a practice match, but how this kid didn't get an early bid just makes me laugh.

The big one will be if Hayes turns out to be a player, had someone bid before #25 we'd have certainly matched and lost that pick. Instead we got Hayes + Davey

 

[justlookingaround]

He's already my fave tbh

Most likely the Vic Metro v Vic Country game but he also showed his positioning and pressure was good when he played VFL for us.

 

[windyhill]

The Kids on Foxtel, my two boys featured heavily. As I said, my two boys.

 

[andleanback]

Get around to watching the twins on the kayo doco if you get a chance. Both lovable characters, just hope Jayden gets a chance with his body holding up. Will be amazing to see them both playing in the same forward line.

 

[bombreys]

Jeez it’ll be flattening if he’s not playing round 1

 

[VelvetSledge]

Going off his Dad's Instagram story, he's in.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Bahahaha, the turn it up gesture.
