i think if we had kept him he would have been used more up the ground in the 2001 role than simply in the forward line. He has more pace than Willo, last year he couldn't run but look at some of his dashes from previous years.

Pies light up my world. Davis was the next big thing but now it will be Didak or Cole. Go Pies!

I thought we traded Adkins for Willo. Davis was for Nixon. Anyway isn't the guy on the forward line whose place is in danger Josh Fraser??

"I�ve sort of sat back over the last couple of months and thought �how many more times, if I�d tried a bit harder, could I have played a quarter like I did against Geelong?"

...hmmmmm....maybe actually just played for a quarter in the 2002 GF rather than playing a star quarter would've helped.

Well, after reading that article, i know he can be a gun, but he's exactly the sort of footballer that you don't want in your team. A frustrating individual and someone that always thought he was the greatest without ever actually trying. It's nice that we have a hardworking group of kids rather than potential stars that think they already own the world.

Good luck to you Nick, i'm glad you took your ego somewhere else.

Durring 2002 you got the feeling that he really didnt want to be there and now i see that its because he thought he was much better than he actually was, esoecially playing around all the young kids like fraser, didak, davis, johnson, cloke ect... Not forgetting that he was just a kid too! but one with a much bigger head!

im glad he has pulled his head in a bit because i really liked him at collingwood

good luck to him and i hope we win a couple of flags to show him what he missed insted of one meesly flag in Sydney

He was a pain in the arse, we probly could have got more for him how ever, but in the end have we missedhim that much, hardly. He's really only done the one thing for them, given it did get them as far as they got, but he never got them to the finals. He's a mumy's boy let him be.

He's gone, get over it.

Agree with LD.

Its just sad, however. We gave him a start, but he just didn't go on with it. I recall he said he wanted to remain at Victoria Park for 2003, but then went.

Oh well - good luck to him with the Swans, he has done well so far. Can't hide from the fact that he is a brilliant footballer.

He's the kind of prick who will wander around with a smug expression on his head thinking/knowing how good he could have been if he had of been willing to work.

Hope those happy thoughts keep him warm at night when he grows up, is too old to get paid to play football, realises he's squandered everything and suddenly has to work at something in order to afford to buy food.

Do u remember in 2003 when we played Sydney in round 6 and he kicked the winning goal against us.

If you base your opinions on GF performances,who would you prefer?
Tarrant,who didn't kick a goal in 2002 or Nick Davis who got a bit of it?
Leon,who didn't bother the stats men at all in 2002,or Nick Davis?

Get real,just for once. He did serve us well. He did play a lot of good games for us. Do you categorise people like Licuria,Molloy,Steinfort,Freeborn.Clement or Holland the same way? They all left their original clubs to play for us. Do you tar them with the same brush? If you don't then drop the topic. All this hand wringing about Davis is a waste of time and a waste of bandwidth.

Who cares.

Seriously.

He's a disinterested, lazy former Magpie who is and probably always will be defined by one quarter of football.

Why do we waste Collingwood bandwidth on him?
