Now relieved of the co-captaincy, Phil Davis will be able to spend more time focusing on his individual performance and doing what he does best: mitigating forwards in a non-fantasy-friendly role. The steadfast defender actually delivered his highest tally since year one, seventh in the competition for total marks and second for intercepts. Davis has locked down Leon Cameron's full back position until the cows come home, so don't expect any sudden quantum leaps. The ex-Crow is a team-first player who is too inconsistent and accountable to contend with the more natural fantasy backmen. Pass.

Fill Davis's trophy cabinet
Having struggled with numerous injury concerns from 2013-2015, Phil Davis continues to be crucial to the club’s premiership chances. The former Crow has averaged 20 home and away appearances in the last three seasons. Renowned for his ability to minimise star forwards, Davis added another bow to his repertoire with career highs in disposals and marks. Phil Davis will continue to focus on leading the club from the front during the upcoming campaign, hoping that his performances can finally be rewarded with the ultimate success. An avid defence-first exponent of the game, Davis will never be expected to lift his statistical output more than he did last year. Enjoying watching him, not owning him.
