MFC has just announced the signing of Aaron Davey for 4 years. A great result for club, player and supporters. The future is now looking great of the red and the blue!

Fantastic news that our BEST player has agreed to basically be a one club player by signing a new 4 year agreement. This is the tonic that the club, members and supporters have been looking for regarding the season 2010. Now we all need to sign up for the start of a new decade for us- Go Dees in 2010.

dajaveu I remember when farmer left similar circumstances terms agreed but no signiture till it was too late ok demons admin get him signed or you will lose alot of supporters/members

I think Davey will be better for both clubs essendon needing someone who can help score more goals with the retirements of club champions lloyd and lucas, we are also offering davey a huge deal and he will be able to play with his brother.On the other hand this will free up some money for melbourne fc and enable them to gain younger talent, realisticly even if melbourne keep davey Melbourne will never win the preimership whilst he is at melbourne.

aaron stays a demon :)

Aaron Davey signs with the dees for 4 years


get lost dons

Aaron Davey signs with the dees for 4 years

get lost dons

Bring on Davey for the Dons baby.

if we can lure Davey to essendon, he would be suitable replacement for Lovett, they are both similar players but i think Davey would be a great asset to us and it would boost our speed even more

GO THE BOMBERS!!!!!!

haha melbourne it just keeps getting wourse for them

Nothing but Speculation" nothing on melbounre or essendon websites about this.

If Melbourne let Davey they may as well give it up. What’s the point of getting good young talent if it is only replacing the older talent you’ve already had but you let go. The draft is to increase the depth with good young players, not to be a pseudo Gold Coast team with only players who have played less than 25 games.
They let Jolley & Scott Thimson go then Travis Johnstone, McLean, now Davey, – why not go the whole hog & offload, Sylvia, Rivers, Moloney, Bate & anyone else who has played more than 50 games but is under the age of 25?
On the other hand Robbo is given the flick when he is still good to play & wanted to stay.
Get Alwyn from Essendon rather than letting the opposite happen.
Melbourne is a joke if they let Aaron go too.

If Aaron Davey leaves the DEES i will not renew my membership with the dees, I bet the players did not like the way the coach was playin them in bad positions so we can get good draft picks... Well done Baily, get pick 1 and 2 and lose the same.. Wont be long and Jarrah will leave to. Have a look at what you are doin to the club before its to late!!!!

aaron davey would be a good fit for collingwood with his great speed and goal sense. come on pies, bring davey to collingwood

C'mon Bombers, jump at this opportunity to sign up Aaron Davey and reunite him with Alwyn, much to their mother's dreams! We must get Aaron, we have a history of missing the big name players, and I think Aaron would fit in perfectly at Essendon, and even improve Alwyn's game. Go Bombers, get Aaron Davey!!!

If Davey leaves then he'd better watch out for good 'ole Brent Moloney the next time the two teams play. McLean is already on his hit-list, & Chris Johnson is as good as dead, he can add one more. Moloney is a true club player, he will never leave Melbourne no matter what is offered.

MFC please don't let Davey go.
We are getting a great team for the future so a quality player like Davey should he go, would set us back bigtime

Why wouldn't Davey want to leave Melbourne who are anchored to the bottom of the table. Yes they will start to improve in the next couple of years (it's impossible for them not to with all the prime draft picks they have been given). The draft should be gotten rid of with free agnecy available to the players. All the AFL need is an adequately policed salary cap. This will sort out inefficient Melbourne clubs who the AFL have to keep spoon feeding and will stop clubs having to bottom out to be able to rebuild. The draft doesn't adequately compensate clubs who lose players to retirement.

Brad Fisher for Matt McGuire. Straight swap, WIN WIN

This is a test for the administraton at MFC to secure Davey. He should have locked away a month ago, knowing that other clubs would be active at trade time. Off field performance is the basis for on field results so let's hope they have this negotiation under control. We are going to give up a likely captain for yet another untested draft pick.

Davey is too important to our club. We are on the rise with players starting to turn into solid footballers. Hopefully in the next few years we can start to make the eight, but if Davey leaves the club, it may be a different story. He is a future leader at the club and best footballer at the moment. We need him in years to come.

i wouldnt mind the two davey boys at melbourne. But aaron has to stay.

Davey will sign with Dees for 3 years. And to all these Essendon supporters thinking Lovett is in the same realm as Davey, you are very much mistaken. Davey is a class above Lovett.

i would love the 2 davey boys to play together

Davey has to remember the support Melbourne showed him early in his career when no one else wanted him. I would lose all respect for him were he to leave now. Just not right.

yes please josh kennedy! come up to sydney. we need a ball winning running midfielder with mcveigh to complement the hard heads of kirk and bolton, and jack so we can keep o'keefe in the forwards.

Highly unlikely. Aaron is a role model for all the indigineous players on the side and is also a possbile future captain. Its possible he is just milking it to get a better deal from MFC, Davey is too passionate about the club to leave now, especially when the club is starting to get a quality side together

would love to have the 2 Davey's boys at the club. if lovett was to leave then that would be a fantastic replacement

Ahhhhhhhhh no way!! As if, Daveys heart beats true to the red and the blue!!! We dont want Lovett or anyone for Davey, he stays!!

Melbourne can not afford to lose Davey. A leader off the field as well as a role model for fellow indiginous players. Melbourne needs to ensure this trade does not eventuate. My son will be devastated if this trade happens.

davey better not leave melbourne. He is probably one of our best and most important players. I will be very dissapointed.

Suitable trade for both clubs? Get serious.
I would want lovett and hurley to give up Davey

I would have Davey in a second. He would be the perfect replacement for Lovett. At the same time, I would feel sorry for Melbourne as he is one of the keys to their future success.

Why would Davey leave Melbourne? I know we are at the bottom but we won't be as bad as last year, Alwyn Davey didn't want to play with his brother a few years ago when he was offered to come to Melbourne so why would Aaron do that?

I hope Davey comes to the Bombers - good replacement for Lovett and maybe a suitable trade for both clubs.
