Leon Davis severs ties with Collingwood

[mark_johnson#1]

Pay off was pathetic according to BT on 3AW.

will play SANFL or WAFL.. surely the pay couldnt be worse than the state leagues??

 

[Shade]

bit of a sook tbh.
but bol for the future

 

[jimmy35]

Surprised if that were true. I hope not.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Oh boy, wowee

 

[PAFC_1870]

Getting offered similar to a new draftee.

Insulting, deserves a heck of alot more. Have really grown to like him.

 

[Defacto]

i'd pay leon more than maxwell tbh. maxwell has been useless. his grand final was shocking. re-watch the opening goal. leon goes to the right spot and attacks the play. maxwell is flat footed, with absolutely no clue and costs them the opening goal.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Gah this sucks. At least we'll be able to convince Goldsack he is a part of our best 22.

And Davis' wasn't?

 

[THE EQUALIZER]

Surely Leon Davis is entitled to be paid at least $300,000 in 2012, isn't he?

 

[stugots]

& anyone is surprised why?

 

[Altum Volantes]

Freo via the PSD

Getting a slice of that Clark money.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Surely someone will offer him a decent amount of coin to play for them next year. If we weren't so tight in our salary cap we'd welcome him with open arms, I imagine.

 

[JonoNash]

This should be in the rumours board. Nothing confirmed.

 

[BomberWatson]

This should be in the rumours board. Nothing confirmed.

Except on Channel 7 news.

Taylor, a former Magpie turned commentator, has told 3AW that the 2011 All-Australian is set to play in the WAFL or SANFL next year.

“He has cut ties with the Collingwood Football Club as of today,” Taylor said.

Um, excuse me, no he wasn't, he was offered plenty more then a draftee, simply because he is veterans list eligible, and therefore a decent chunk of his contract would have been under the VL from next year on.

I don't trust what BT is saying, I'd say Leon's heart isn't in it anymore, his partner is an SA girl/women, and the rest of his family is in Perth, the pull for him to come home has always been there, and it's finally got him.

I'd say he's made this decision more with location in mind then money.

 

[JonoNash]

Except on Channel 7 news.

Yes, Channel 7 reported that Brian Taylor thinks Leon has walked out of the club & it's official confirmation.

Woweee!

Didn't Channel 7 also report that Alan Toovey had walked out of Collingwood!

 

[reg_lower91]

Lyon will surely give him a crack.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Should go to Freo, would be brilliant up forward for them

 

[BomberWatson]

Yes, Channel 7 reported that Brian Taylor thinks Leon has walked out of the club & it's confirmation.

Woweee!

Yes, because they're really going to headline the sport with something that's rumour

Put your head in the sand if you want to, the fact is he's gone.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Yes, Channel 7 reported that Brian Taylor thinks Leon has walked out of the club & it's official confirmation.

Woweee!

seems to being accepted as fact on your own board. How about it stays here unless it's shown to be a rumour and you just suck it up?

 

[BomberWatson]

Didn't Channel 7 also report that Alan Toovey had walked out of Collingwood!

No one ever said Toovey had left, only that he was considering leaving due to what he and his manager felt was a crummy deal.

If that was the case then something would have been done during trade week, not after it.

Until it is confirmed by the CFC, by Leon Davis & Liam Pickering, it is a rumour. LOL at thinking b/c Channel 7 led with the story, it is a credible source.

H/S reported that Toovey had quit the club.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Yeah, because no club in trade week actively threatened to force the player than wanted into the PSD...

He'll play for Freo next year.

Direct replacement for Roger Hayden on their list and a smart pick up.
