Troy DAVIS

2013 Digest:   Raw-boned key defender who shows plenty of aggression but needs to work on his skill execution to break into the senior side. At least gives the side a back-up who can play a minor role if required at some point while continuing to develop in the VFL.

2013 NAB Cup:   Limited game time means he will have to earn a spot through impressive performances in VFL.
