WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHRIS DAWES

Norm Smith's Curse
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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

    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.

    What number draft pick(s) do Sydney have to trade ?

    Wellingham will only head west if Meth Coke or Freo pay his wage.

    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.

    interesting...more as the source..than possibly the trade

    Barich has a good ear for footy happenings

    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 Wellingham and Dawes came over, both young, don't mind indeed! Winning culture into the club and both still have a lot to offer. Early days...not getting too excited yet.

    i'm liking the sound of melbourne getting both wellingham and Dawes in a package deal! just on trade radio, wellingham dawes and pies 1st rnd pick (22 or whatever it is) for pick 4!

    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.

    Dawes/Wellingham and pick #18 I would take that trade

    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 :)

    • 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.
