Yeah true actually, a ready made KPF would suit them better than trying to draft another who would take 3+ years to be ready
As I have posted here a few times before, Davis is a VERY good player, who gets little love from here or the D&T Board.
Under ratted and under appreciated by most draft assessors.
He has a massive tank and has all the skills to be a goal kicking wingman ..... the sort of player that, just quietly, we are very much in need of.
WCE OUT: Waterman, BWilliams
I reckon a fair call would be to think of Andrew Embley when thinking of who does Davis project as.
Thanks for the write up uncle Mon.Keys he is a better overhead mark and will kick more goals, than Windsor, but Windsor I thinks a bit quicker.
CountryLad's call comparing him to Embley is pretty close to the mark, has better skills, but time will tell if he goes any where near close to Embley's ability, to cease the moment and absorb the pressure in clutch moments, as Embley often did.
That said Davis was pretty darn good in last years Colts GF, as a bottom ager absorbing the pressure when things got tight.
He kicked 3 goals and looked right at home in clutch moments.
His Championships, this year, was very consistent and he doesn't waste possessions, as his disposal efficiency is high.
One of the indicators that I look for and rate particularly highly, when assessing prospective kids for "draft ability", is when kids come back to playing Colts after having had a good Championships and their productivity increases, at Colts.
It's a general indicator that they still have a lot of growth in their game.
Davis has done this.
I will take that a step further, because if they get put up to Reserves or League and play OK, ( they don't have to star ) , just hold their own.
Then, that is IMO another huge milestone.
It's very rare for a kid to go back to their State league, perform well enough to warrant promotion to the next level, perform ok, at higher State level and for them to be a bust at AFL level.
Doesn't mean that they are stars, more so, that they have both the ability and temperament, to make it at in the AFL.
Yea they're preferring Steely Green over him which I think says a lot. Green was taken later by them in the same draft
I have been steadfast he is a late must for us, since start of the yearAs I have posted here a few times before, Davis is a VERY good player, who gets little love from here or the D&T Board.

Probably a touch after where our 3R would sit (currently 41). Freijah and Davis would have been a good combo on the wings.
Seems like a reasonable request.
