I never rated the guy at the Pies, but he makes a huge difference to this side! Will be even better when Hogan and (if he ever recovers) Clark come back into the side.

Love this guy!

    Longsleeves. Should be more of it. Schwartz, Yze now Dawes. I like it

    Looking at Collingwood today they made a big mistake here, Cloke is their only forward target. Lynch is useless and Dawes was such a good foil, their small forwards could really benefit from his attack on the footy.

    And he kicked nearly half the wobbles score today.Can a weekend of sport get any better.Dees by 3,wallabies by 1,Carlscum lose.

    If Stosur and Richie Porte can kick on .............heaven

    Must admit I got this one wrong. I wasn't overly keen on chasing him. Seems to thrive on the extra responsibility of being one of the leaders and more experienced guys.

    He has been awesome - and when he talks in media pressors he commands respect.

    Add Watts and Howe to the list and we might just have a forward line.

    Long-sleeves works well with the Melbourne jumper. I like it.

    P.S. Dawes is good too.

    Understatement of the century

    We already have a forward line anyway

    Backline too

    Just need to sort the midfield

    Excellent tonight, great understanding of the game and brings others in to it, can't wait to see a full Melbourne Forward line next year. He takes so much pressure off jack too it will improve him no end.

    Interesting to hear Watts talk about him on the radio after the game. Reckons he really impacts the team and is massively underrated. He said it affects the team on the ground even when he just goes to the bench for 2 mins! Always talking to the players and advising and cajoling and is big influence off the ground as well. Just about everything we wanted in a recruit I think.

    Dawes was universally bagged by Pie supporters over the last two seasons. They where to thick to accept he had a hand injury that was restricting his output. Look back at the 2010 finals series and you will see what an importand contributor he was to there flag. Reckon he was involved in just about every goal in the GF replay and he was also the bloke at the bottom of the pack that fed the ball to Travis Cloke that tied up the 1st 2010 GF. We have landed a ripper here, can't wait until he carves The Pies up on QB in the coming years. Dawes will help form a very potent forward line from here.

    I knew he'd go back and slot that goal in the last quarter.

    But what I noticed more about tonight was his leadership. At half time he spoke to the group before walking off and when the dogs were coming back I just saw him speak to the ruckman and the midfield then ran back to the forward line.

    Im rapt we got him

    As the colliwobbles kicked the second goal today to go 13 points in front my pies mate said, geez we miss Dawes, q stick is a spud....and they went on to lose, and we win, and Dawes does well. There is a god!

    Dawes makes em walk a bit taller.

    Nextyear Hogan deep, Dawes in the middle of the fifty, and Clark Centre half forward.

    Watts and Howe roaming wherever they want between wing and half forward.

    Woohoo!

    We MUST make sure we fix our midfield. We'll beat the Bulldogs' of the league, but won't get near even the mid-table teams with our current midfield. It lacks experience and class.

    Thanks for selling him Filth.

    He is what you lack.

    Enjoy the Q stick

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
