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!

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.

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

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

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
