Bit more on Davies:-
Alex Davies (Gold Coast)
Stuart Dew suggested in the pre-season that Davies could fill the role vacated by Hugh Greenwood, and he was certainly proved right on Sunday.
Playing just his second game of AFL footy, it wasn’t the weight of touches, but more so the way Davies used the footy that should see him locked in for the near future.
He only had 12 touches, but 10 of those were contested in his 70 per cent time on ground.
The 20-year-old also had numerous important and clean touches in the final term as Gold Coast stepped up, highlighting his composure with ball in hand.
