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

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

Bit stiff on Crossy not being there. Think he might sneak in a BOG performance this weekend.

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.

I've been very harsh on Dawes in the past, from the time he was at the filth until early this season. He is making me eat my words and I couldn't be happier to have been so wrong about him.

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

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.

cause he is a coach, not a player

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..

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

Sweet. Hadn't updated for some reason.
