i remember last year we chased this bloke pretty hard to the point he turned down a big offer from us. now after watching him play this year and just reading his herald sun article today its fair to say thank we didn't pick him up!! he is massively overated and has only kicked 4 goals this year.. jared rivers has already kicked more then him. as much as it was sad about mitchs injury and whos been a revelation to us im glad the department picked a winner here! could you imagine the out out cry if Dawes was playing for us this year like he is now..!?

    Yes I am glad Chris DAWES didn't come to the MFC too. Good role player (last year) at best.

    I was absolutely stoked when I heard we landed Mitch Clark. Thought at the time, this is a simply mammoth get - particularly given the circumstances in which we managed to sign him.

    Little did I know then just how good he would be. I reckon he's been the best player we've recruited in decades (possible apologies to Jeff White).

    Quite simply, it is a massive relief that Chris Dawes rejected us beforehand.

    Watching Chris Dawes go about it this season all I can think of is ... "YUCK"

    He would've stunk it up for us. Dodged one there.

    I've never been a fan of Dawes...very overrated in my opinion. When he had his best season and kicked 30 odd goals, he was receiving the ball from the likes of Swan, Pendlebury, Didak, etc., and he was taking the oppositions 2nd best back (Cloke took the first). I think Collingwood will be in serious trouble if they lose Cloke and have to rely on this guy to be their #1 FF option.

    Well, I was one of those who thought he would be a good get... thankfully we didn't, but I suppose we could only judge him on his form at that time.

    Funnily enough, Dawes is probably thinking something along similar lines :-)

    His 2010 was only rated because he was playing for Collingwood.

    Massively overrated IMO. Will be in trouble next year when Cloke leaves.

    No, he was rated because at that time we were in need of a big forward who could score goals as well as crash packs and create opportunities for our other forwards...last year he was a good foil for Cloke, kicking 30 goals and was involved in a lot of good plays - you don't get 20 games in a side like Collingwood if you're not performing.

    seconded....he is just not in very good form at the moment, but still doing his role...Buckley is like Neeld who are both like Malthouse, he wouldn't be in the side if Buckely did not want him to be

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
