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...

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
