Report Card: Mid-Season (Round 11) - by Dave68

Coming back from injury but will struggle to break into the side. Unlucky but Rusling and Cloke are doing a great job up forward. Needs to continue to develop in the reserves and patiently await his chance which should come eventually.

Fan Files: Player Profile: by Johnson#26
 
2005:
The injury riddled forward spent the rest of 2004 recovering, and found himself in hot water with a well documented tussle with a taxi driver. Davidson enjoyed a solid pre-season of 2005, building up slowly for a big year.

2004:
The son of former Geelong and Richmond player Gary Davidson, Tom was selected at pick 27 in the 2001 National draft.
After the draft Collingwood recruiting manager Noel Judkins stated that Davidson was a better mark than Chris Tarrant.
Davidson spent his first season at Williamstown, learning his craft from players such as Brad Lloyd and Troy West. 2003 was meant to be the season where Davidson showed the AFL why Judkins made such a bold statement but sadly for the big forward, his season was cut short when he injured his knee prior to the season which saw him out for the rest of the year.
Davidson was fit by the time the 2004 pre-season rolled around and by the beginning of the season was fit and primed for a spot in the senior 22.
Davidson debut in round 2 against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG. After taking a couple of terrific marks early, Davidson’s ‘good knee’ collapsed and the injury saw him out for another 12 months.
