Dawes in doubt?

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,780]

Did anyone else hear the suggestion on SEN this morning that Dawesy is "under a cloud"? (despite being named in the final line-up)

[Guest]

Been afraid of this all week. Fitzpatrick being named as an emergency increased my suspicion

[Jaded No More 68,867]

FML. 1 game tease this man is.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

geez that's effing frustrating.

[Adam The God 30,153]

Can't see us winning this if he's out.

[Guest]

I wouldn't care if he trotted out there on one leg. His presence just helps in general

[Guest]

Agreed. Could see us reverting to our ways of the first couple of games. Fitzpatrick has no idea how to bring the ball to ground and assist crumbers. Ball goes straight through his hands so often

[What 18,810]

lol you gotta be kidding me

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Dawesy would be the most injured player in the country, surely.

[Adam The God 30,153]

Spot on, S. Dawes is practically an assistant coach on field too. Really, really important that he plays.

[Guest]

Knowing our luck, he's probably re-injured his calf, and will miss most of the season

[Adam The God 30,153]

Tragedy, if that were the case, mate.

[jumbo returns 6,740]

Must play!

Even if he sits in the square....

[Whispering_Jack 29,840]

If it happens, no fear - just another case of one Dawes closing and another opening up.

[Redjacket 756]

If true, the bloke can [censored] off. Too many injury prone bit players in this team. If he can't get himself on the park week in week out then he can take his money and [censored] off and leave the spot I. The team and room in the salary cap for someone else.

Now take a deep breath...

I don't want him to be out, so (naturally) you can bet he'll be out.

What a terrible sentiment.

Wow.

You're a [censored].

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,790]

I think he's been in doubt ever since he told the media he pulled up terribly last week and would need the full 8 days to recover.

Very true. He is probably sitting in the change rooms whacking his legs with a claw hammer in hope that he is going to get injured and not play.

Damn him and his human fallibility. Why does Chris Dawes insist on being made of flesh and blood? He should be made of the same stuff most football players are: titanium.

Nah

[P-man 13,366]

Incredibly frustrating if true. Will wait for confirmation before cursing at the footy gods.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,790]

Fwiw stevo on ch 7 game day didn't mention anything at 11:30.

I know this might sound silly but I would've played Dawes last week even if it meant missing the next 2 - 3 games as he basically bought us that win last week.

[Allen Jakovich 516]

On sen? Must have been Finey or Robert shaw then? I sincerely doubt either of those two fools would have any decent mail...

Fully expecting him to play, especially as he's trained strongly this week hasn't he?
