Chris Dawes - worth every cent!

Featured Replies

Thanks for selling him Filth.

He is what you lack.

Enjoy the Q stick

[censored].

That's beautiful, WYL. It's like a haiku.

Collingwood morons,

Wish they could take it all back.

Bad luck you jerkbags.

 

He can play,I agree, but he been injuried more oftain then he been available to play.

I not sure he worth what the MFC is paying for him so far.

Although time will tell if he become a value for money player,

 

Leadership - Tick

Kicks goals - Tick

Experienced - Tick

I never rated the guy at the Pies, but

Which is why most supporters should never critique opposition players. Until his injury in 2011 he was in better form than Cloke. His last 18 months was poor, but at 24 was only coming into his prime years and he'd already shown he could play at AFL level.

One of the very few things I won't hang Nerd over.


Collingwood thought they were getting like for like with Lynch snd Dawes but with a better ruckman and draft pick to boot....they took a risk and my have lost out as Dawes has his best footy infront of him

Biggest surprise was that Mick didn't chase him after the Blues missed out on Cloke - Dawes was vital to his game plan I thought.

Agreed, he is exactly what Carlton needed. We no doubt had more money to offer.

Not sure why so many people are surprised at this.

He was always going to be our most important pick up.

When Collingwood were on a couple of years ago, Dawes was always more consistent and reliable than Cloke.

They are fools.

 

Just wait till Viney and Toooooompas have 50 games under their belts.

Mark is that you mate?

You really have to get over the 50 game statements.


Dawes the player - sensational work horse perfect for leadership and delopment.

Dawes in the long sleeve jumper - sensational! Most amazing dees jumper since the Matty Whelan sawed off sleeves glory days!

Dawes on triple M just then said:

Roos been brought up in conversations

Also said that Neil Craig has been a great asset to the team but up to him if he wants the job

He wants an experience coach that can build around good contested stoppages and good defense.

Said future is pretty bright with the forward line we have and that Hogan will be A grade.

I never understood what Collingwood saw in Lynch, they will be regretting pushing Dawes (pun intended) out.

Over here in the Weat even the Eagles supporters didn't rate him. Worst decision ever. That and Morton at pick 4 haha

I'm really happy to hear him talking up the future with coaches, I was a bit concerned that he had a really close relationship to Neeld and would be disgruntled by his sacking. From last nights performance couldn't be further from that.

I swear I'm starting to see bits of his game rubbing off onto Watts. Dawes has been really good at cajoling and forced the ball forward. I know this is a Dawes thread but there was a moment, didn't lead to a goal but the ball was in dispute and Watts picked it up and was being tackled by two doggies and he just kept moving and managed to forced out to one of our guys.

Can't wait for Dawes, Clark, Watts, Howe, and Hogan to play together. Get the midfield right and opposition defences will be [censored] themselves.

That's the thing isn't it? Let's start getting some fear into the other teams, playing us. It's been a while.


Buckley was ruining his career by forcing him to be a forward-ruck. He clearly isn't a ruck.

Thought Collingwood would break even by getting Lynch but clearly they're not, and that makes me happy.

A mate of mine who is mad pies supporter was spewing when it happened and I'll look forward to his thoughts this week.

Do I understand stand correctly you actually have a Collingwood Supporter as a mate?

LOL

Cloke would never have gone to Carlton

and didnt Lynch knock us back too ?

Nice,

Dawesy only just turned 25 too. He has so much footy in front of him, and it will be his best footy.

Dawes is probably the smartest player at the club.

He would have known Neeld was a terrible coach who was killing the team and would have wanted him gone ASAP.

My dad is a huge pies fan and he thinks dawes has become twice the player since joining us, really glad we have him.

Ha ha he is mad, but actually has a decent head on his shoulders in regards to footy.

All Collingwood supporters are mad LOL

Anyone know if the Filth website is going feral over the loss of Dawes??

It certainly should be

One of the best decisions ever. Chris hasn't even peaked yet!!

Denham got that part wrong...

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
