WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHRIS DAWES



Recommended Posts

Just learned Dawes is only 24. Thought he was about 28! Might be a good pick up after all. How about Cook, Gysberts and Morton to Maggies as a trade. Would rather keep Martin if possible even though 2012 wasn't a good year for him.

Dawes would be a good get - big bodied key forward, has 6-8 years left. His form suffered from doing the Ruckwork which he wouldn't have to do with us. Still think he might stay at Collingwood but getting him would finally be some good news

You can keep Cook and morton

Yep but if I were virtually promise a flag and good money, I would certainly look at completing the degree in Sydney or even deferring it.

If Dawes went to Sydney; that would be would cause nightmares for Clarkson, Buckley et al

So you're disregarding what he wants ?

He wants to stay in Melbourne and there will be enough suitors to make it happen.

Lol, three NQR's don't equal a decent player. Especially when they are trying to create cap space - it will be picks not players for Dawes!

well we have to come up with some trade bait without going backwards. Martin is a big strapping lad and can play a a versatile role. granted he had a poor year but I think he can come back hard next year.

In that case that particular one is far too good for us to be true, with the exception of maybe Gysberts.

Look out for Wellingham and Dawes to be packaged up and traded to Melb for pick 4

I don't mind this.

Shows the MFC members that the club is sick and tired of losing season after losing season, and we need to start playing for the now.

Collingwood might ask for Gysberts too.

This would be a great outcome if Viney slips to 2nd round.

End up with Toumpas, Wellingham, Viney and Garlett/Kennedy/Stringer as mids and Dawes up forward. Good outcome.

If Viney goes at pick #3 on the otherhand...not quite as impressive.

If Viney goes at pick #3 on the otherhand...not quite as impressive but still ok. Might be able to trade a pick 26 for Colls 18 and go for something like

Viney, Wellingham and 2 of Kennedy/Simpsons/Stringer/Garlett/Vlastuin as mids and Dawes up forward.

Slightly better, but pick 4 is a massive asset to put up.

yes it is but provided we don't have to use pick 3 on viney we will still have 3, 13, 22, viney(26), wellingham, dawes and anyone else we pick up. sounds pretty good to me if this happens :)

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
