Loving Dawes attitude in his latest offering on the club page. Clearly an intelligenct and articulate man,

I think he is a great asset as an on and off field leader and potentially as the third forward. I recon he is worth every cent we paid for him and I hope the scumbags come to realise what a mistake they made in letting him go.

I am all a quiver antcpating watching a forward line picked from Clark, Hogan, Dawes, Howe, Kent and Fitzy next year.

    Just needs to get his body right and injury free summer which will see him a much better prospect in 2014.

    Dawes is terrific, absolutely no nonesense and determined to make the best of himself. Loved the line that he think he and Mitch will do some damage.

    He must be a chance for leadership this year.

    Talks a good game but we have to see it consistently on the field.

    Aye, thats the reality of it.

    Hopefully we do though :)

    Didn't realise he was playing so injured last season. Explains a lot because he started really well but then his form dropped off. Get him fit and I think he will really compliment Mitch and Jesse really well.

    Gee if we could just land two experienced midfielders to help out Jones, at least to give these bloke some supply and get the opposition worried.

    So over hearing the word consistency.

    What about "it is what it is" or "the reality bus"?

    There gems I would think!

    Me too dc, I will be very impressed when he plays 20 games in 2014 and kicks 35 goals.

    Until then it is more MFC hot air

    They all do, actually.

    It would be a great change.

    Would make a very good leader, he is articulate and could communicate at all levels.

    The guys would know exactly what the message meant.

    So over hearing the word consistency.

    It's much easier on the ear than 'competitive'.

    It has an air of partial success as opposed to a 'no-hoper' connotation.

  • Quote

    Anything to help me understand why we took him

    Rhetorical?

    Helpful.

    How are you awake?

    Save for Jones, no Demon has done anything for the better part of a decade.

    Dawes gets talked up because we have been in desert for ages, and we will take whatever we can get.

    Clark too.

    At some point we will cease to roll our eyes at the kinds of things he is saying.

    He happens to believe he is part if the solution; that he can help. And with the recent departure of someone who had 10 times the chances to do something, we should keep in mind that while it is frustrating to hear the sweet nothings, it is better than witnessing ten years of sweet nothing.

    Dawes will surprise a few I think, and I hope it is as early as 2014.

    That IMO is the nub of people's skepticism rpfc.

    We have heard it all before over the last decade and a number of others.

    I and a quite a few others now believe in what we see.

    Talk is cheap, action is the only thing we believe.

    Now you can call us negative if you wish but that negativity comes from years of listening to promises that have never happened.

    Dawes is probably a good guy and the right type to have at the Dees, yes he makes all the right noises and he has performed on the big stage before.

    I will believe when he plays 20 games and kicks 35 goals in 2014.

    Woulda, shoulda, coulda

    I heard it all

    and still my team is the worst in the AFL

    words now mean little to me

    give me action

    for the coin that he is on, the MFC nrrds a player who can play more then 12 games and score 12 goals in a season.

    if he such value to the Club off field then make him a coach and get someone on the list who can actual play

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
