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 :)

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
