I love Alwyn! The way he kicks those goals, the way he chases down players - that really lifts the team.

He played very well when he played in the midfield. He is strong, good disposal, fast(very fast) and know's how to get through traffic. Gun

Re: 29. Alwyn Davey
The only way to stop him, is to bash him out of the game. A few teams tried last year and it was geelong that finally caught up with him. Last night footscray tried, particularly in the 3rd quarter. I said to myself " Don`t get him angry he`ll make you pay" We had lift off. He is getting close to my all time favourite this fella.
Pure Gold.

The goal last night was awesome when he ran away from his Doggies opponents, steadied then drilled it home from 35!

And if you look closely you will see a fat Essendon bastard waddling down from the Grog Squad standing room in his Arsenal shirt ready to salute the goal well before he kicked it !

Re: 29. Alwyn Davey
given how essendon was tracking last season and this season before he went down the statistics say he may be the bombers barometer. for such a little bloke you wouldn't think so but is he that important?
i notice on the efc website in the injury list it says he will undergo operation in the next couple of weeks. this injury was a month ago - surely he would have had the reco by now!

According to the EFC website, he hasn't hat the reconstruction yet. Why wouldn't they have done it by now?

The famously fast right leg of Alwyn Davey is feeling stronger by the day following a season ending injury during training in April. Davey tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and needed a full reconstruction.
He is currently three months into his 10-12 month recovery.
“I just started walking and light jogging exercises on Wednesday,” he said.
“Before that I have been doing a little bit of other leg work like squats and leg press to try and get the muscles right in my leg.
“To keep fit I have mostly been doing swimming and a bit of bike, speed ball - basically anything that keeps you off your feet.
“There is no pain at all now (in the knee) so it’s all good – it probably stopped hurting about a month ago.”
Davey, 24, said he is determined not to rush things and will work under the guiding eye of rehabilitation coach, Mark Cera.
“I have spent about nine weeks with Mark now and it all seems to be going well,” Davey said.
“He isn’t working me hard at this stage but after about four months I will start to step it up.”
The goal sneak is keen to build up his strength in the gym to better cope with the physical pressure of the AFL.
The father of three says it has been a disappointing season following his impressive debut year in 2007 (which was also cut short with a broken arm).
He won the club rising star award but, in 2008, hasn’t been able to consistently deliver on the promise that the club and fans know he can.
With 19 AFL games to his name Davey is now simply looking forward to 2009.
“When they told me (about the knee injury) I was sad to hear the news but after a week or so I got over it and started looking forward to next year,” he said.
“I just can’t wait to get back on the field and play with my team-mates.”
An area that has been keeping him busy during rehab is his commitments after winning the 2007 AFL Army Award (see photo).
He recently joined Glen Archer in Darwin (Davey’s home town) for the launch of the Defence Jobs U/17s Academy, a new initiative designed to foster young NT footballers.
Davey and Archer helped out with drills, and then split the group into two teams - Team Davey and Team Archer and Team Davey.- and they coached opposing teams, with Team Archer coming out as the overall winners.

Re: 29. Alwyn Davey
What is this rumour circulating about Davey not getting along well with Knights and possibly wanting out by seasons end (rumoured to be Melbourne to be with Aaron)?
Anyone know what is happening here? Any truth behind the rumour?
