Needs to be included on the Demonland banner asap. Potentially next to Paul Roos.

Called for it in the Banner thread. It just looks weird not having him. Get the big lug up there.

When was the last time you looked at the Demonland Banner?

Pick 20 is not overs for Chris Dawes. You have to go back to 2009 to find a pick between 20-25 that is clearly superior to Dawes - and that's Fyfe, who is one of those "unpredictable freaks". People consistently overrate draft picks that will find a kid with promise who'll play 3 seasons, 50 games, and then get delisted. 20 for Dawes was a good deal.

Some complained at the time at the $500k plus price tag.

And how about that tackle in the 3rd QTR....

MAN CRUSH

Interesting isn't it? If you said that BBO's tackle gave you a man crush, I'd have all sorts of concern for you.

The fact that it's Dawesy's tackle that made you feel that way is totally acceptable.

Must confess I didn't know much about him when he was at Collingwood, so I was neither here nor there if we got him, but I'm a real convert and if you could have 3 Captains I'd want him to be the third. He's like a nastier version of Neita.

It breaks your heart when you see Mitch at training knowing he will never play for us again and to have Jesse out injured is a double whammy.

To me he was the big success of 2010 and without him the FILTH wouldn't have won the premiership.

He was a critical factor all year in that forward setup.

Wait, are you saying the tackle gave you a man crush … or the tackle crushed a man?

(Both answers are correct…)

A little form answer A and a little from answer B

No seriously i felt the same as many on here when we signed him.. I was excited of the prospect of having him play in our forward line. I totally underestimated his effect on the whole team tho.

Having him in the forward line gives the team direction and lifts them. Im not talking about having just a big body up there. Im always seeing him getting over and talking to the guys after they do something.. its great..

I question how this bloke didn't make the Top 6 in our leadership group vote. Way ahead of Frawley, and probably Clark too

Have you ever thought that Dawes being the intelligent bloke he is, let it be known he wasn't interesed in being in a leadership position until he got himself right and could lead?

You need to have talked to both Frawley and Clark to know why, Frawely always gives out the impression 'big country kid', underneath that is one decent human being and natural leader, Clark had charisma and body language that made you want to follow

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
