Former star Bomber Alwyn Davey has been inducted as a legend into the AFLNT Hall of Fame for his outstanding ongoing contribution to the game.

Raised in Darwin before moving to Adelaide to further his football career ahead of his AFL opportunity, Davey played a key role in two NTFL premierships with Palmerston as a teenager.

His stints with Port Adelaide and South Adelaide in the SANFL proved successful, catching the attention of the Bombers who swept him up at the age of 22 with pick No.36 in the 2006 draft.

Davey had an immediate impact at Essendon as he exploded onto the scene in 2007 before a broken arm unfortunately cut his debut season short in round 14. But it was not before he had truly made his mark on the year with 15 goals, including three on the big stage on Anzac Day.

His courage, defensive prowess and defensive efforts were constant and saw him take home the AFL Army Award that year. He claimed three of the final six nominations for the now-defunct award, which was created to recognise significant acts of bravery or selflessness on the field.

Davey continued to enthrall fans with his sharp skills and speed throughout the remainder of his career at the club, retiring at the end of the 2013 season with 100 games and 120 goals to his name, alongside a spot representing Australia against Ireland in the International Rules Series that same year.

The 100-game milestone in his final match also assured Essendon would have first access to his children via the father-son rule.

Davey has since returned to Palmerston with great success, claiming successive best and fairest awards in 2013/14 and 2014/15. He continues to ply his trade for his junior side where he is a playing coach and recently lined up alongside his twin sons Alwyn Jr and Jayden.

Davey’s older brother Aaron, who played 178 games for Melbourne, was also inducted to the Hall of Fame on Saturday.
