It's always tough when a player leaves the Club under any circumstance, particularly when he's become 'the one' for you. But at the end of the day Nick doesn't want Collingwood, so why would we want Nick? I was sad when Tony Francis and Scotty Russell left us, albeit not entirely their choice, but these things happen. It's an easier pill to swallow when a player makes it clear that he hasn't the passion or desire to play in our sacred guernsey. Everything dies and so too will your love of Nick. Having said that, had Gavin Brown ever left the Club though I would have been suicidal!!

[daicos4ever]

Good ridance, you ungrateful swine. Have fun trying to win a flag with Sydney HAHAHAHA!!!! 'Flag' and 'Sydney'in the same sentance. Oh dear.


Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go,
Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe,
See - the soldier boys are marching and I can no longer stay,
Hark - I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Gray.

GOOD OLD COLLINGWOOD FOREVER, WE KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME,
SIDE BY SIDE WE STICK TOGETHER, TO UPHOLD THE MAGPIES NAME.
SEE THE BARRACKERS SHOUTING, AS ALL BARRACKERS SHOULD,
OH, THE PREMIERSHIP'S A CAKEWALK FOR THE GOOD OLD COLLINGWOOD

[wimmey]

When Willo went north to Sydney it broke my heart..BUT I GOT OVER IT......... now I just admire him from afar (except when we are playing Sydney, then I despise him)

[piepower]

If you don't wanna be a pie then take a hike , we don't need you go and play for the swans you piece of shit. You have being stringing us along all year, you were never going to re sign, its just a bloody shame MM didn't know earlier could have played someone who would have giving his all for the club. Not that pathetic effort you put up in the grand final. The club is bigger than the individual GO PIES IN 2003.

[afisher]

This looks pretty hollow in hindsite , was Nick just "playing with us". ?

I want to stay: Davis

Collingwood forward Nick Davis expects to sign a new contract with the club in the coming months as negotiations between the Magpies and his agent continue.

Davis exclusively told afl.com.au’s the big ask that he fully expects to put pen to paper at some point of the season to extend his stay at Victoria Park.


“At the moment my manager is talking to the club now about a new contract,” Davis said.

“I’m not sure how long it’s going to take and I’m stepping away and from it to let my manager and the club work out where they want (the contract) to be. It might be three weeks or three months, I don’t know when it’s going to happen, but as soon as they come up with a good deal I will make sure I sign it.”

Davis future with the club has been a point of speculation since reports surfaced late last year that the 22-year-old forward was seeking a return to Sydney to play for his hometown Swans. Davis admitted that at the time he harboured the desire transfer to the Swans, but he has since changed his stance.

“There’s no point saying I didn’t want to go home,” Davis said.

“Everyone would like to go back to their home state and play footy. I just thought it might be an opportunity to do that at that time. The club said I was a really important player to the team. For them to say that was good and I made a commitment to stay with them. I love it here at the moment and this is where I really want to stay.”

Davis now seems adamant that his future lies at Collingwood, and hopes that his commitment will have a flow on effect.

“When the contract hits the table I’m sure if everything’s right and everything is A-OK I’ll make sure I sign. As soon as I sign hopefully a few more members might sign up too which will be really good.”

We will not get fair value for Nick Davis from Sydney. He is undervalued because he has been injurred and underperformed. He is a huge talent.

I hope we refuse to clear him. What is the point getting hacks or players we don't need. Call his bluff. If we get nothing for him too bad. We have a good list. We need a ruckman. If we get a ruckman in a deal invloving Davis well and good. If not he can stay of go in the draft.

[wa magpie]

let him go. we dont need anyone holding back the club now, we have started a new era at our club and if he doesnt want to be apart of it well and good. he is a great player, but im sure mick can get a good trade 4 him - he WONT get hacks. let someone else play for the mighty black and white and he'll soon realise wat a mistake he has made.

kill em pies!

[Black_White]

afisher, he was not playing with us, no it was worse. He was lying to us.
At no stage did CFC seem confident of gaining his signature, that was one of the things that lead to Ed's "with us or against us" comments.
In hindsight, it is very clear that he had no intentions of staying in Victoria.
As for not trading him letting him fight it out in the draft, thats nonsense. All AFL clubs know that if MM and ED cannot get him to stay tnen no-one can. They will not risk a precious pick on a fellow that will give them the same crap that he has given us this year. We must trade if we want any value at all.

I firmly believe that Nick Davis will be a superstar. He has great hands and is an awesome shot anywhere within 60 metres of goal.
He will be a huge loss to us in coming years.

Sure, Nick Davis had some injuries this year, but he never really looked interested. The homesickness and all the speculation must have done its bit. Perhaps also the pressure of playing for us, and the media watching you intensly because you're one the new breed of future Pie stars. I was sad to see Williams leave, but he never really got it going often enough. I'm glad he's doing well up there. Same for Saverio at North. But Assassin, I was not disappointed to see Tony Francis go. I remember back about 6 or 7 years ago, after we got flogged by Hawthorn in the rain at Waverley, myself, a few mates and the teacher who took us went into the Hawks social club(?)and then later outside waited for the Collingwood players so they could sign some autographs... every player did so, most with a great attitude as well except Francis. He just rushed past the small crowd mostly of kids with his girlfriend or whatever as quick as he could. Didn't even look back.

Although I love Nick Davies, I think if his heart is not at Collingwood then he should be left to go without giving him a hard time. Its going to be HIS LOSS anyway, do you honestly think Sydney have a better chance of snaring a premiership in the next few years then Collingwood? No way, the Pies have a way better chance. And by the way, if a player does not feel like "Collingwood" IS HIS family, then he doesnt really have Black and White in his heart.
To me Collingwood is like family. I would never give up on my team, no matter how bad they sink or how high they rise. This is how Nick Davies should feel about our club, but he obviously doesnt - do we really want players like that at our club? No. We want passionate players that love the Black and White (think Licuria, Buckley, Eddie and Malthouse who poured out their hearts for Collingwood).

I say lets fairwell Nick Davies and wish him all the best - afterall he cannot truly be one of our own if deep down he feels that Collingwood is not family.
