Will Dawes kick 2 goals tomorrow, or Frawley 5, to ensure a Demon player hits the mighty 20 goal total in 2014?

Exciting times

    Doubt it, but Jack Watts will probably snag 7!

    Against him?

    Dawes is currently equal 66th on the goalkicking ladder, behind such luminaries as Josh Green, Ty Vickery, Matthew White and Jordan Murdoch. GWS have 5 players who have kicked more goals than him.

    He's clearly worth every cent of his $500K a season - perhaps we could give him some of Mitch's salary as well.

    In fairness the guy is being double tagged, had an interrupted preseason dogged with injuries, and is basically a one man forward line.

    But he can't overhead mark to save himself.

    yeah but he is our leading goalkicker

    i dont see how you can criticize him when the ball hardly goes inside 50 and when it does the delivery is VFL standard

    Never stopped Tony Lockett when St Kilda were pathetic...

    Sad reality and a joke.

    Bit like in 2012 when Clark was our leading goal kicker after he went down in round 11 and yet still won the club leading goal kicking.

    I hope we look at Jordan Lisle from Brisbane. Big solid 196cm forward who has looked impressive when given opportunity at afl level. Kicks big bags in the NEAFL.

    As the song says, "there's only one Tony Lockett".

    Who has ever suggested he was like Tony Lockett?

    How many does Tyson need to kick 20?

    I swear he kicks goals far more regularly than Dawes.

    The kid has kicked 14 goals playing predominately as an inside mid in his 3rd year of AFL football. Just turned 21 too.

    Its hard not to get excited for this super talent.

    double tagged by who, his shadow, his best record over 8 years was 30 in a premiership season with sublime delivery , for him to reach 20 in our side would be more than we could have expected.Double tagged God help me.

    I think some of you need to grow a sense of humour, very tongue in cheek.

    Or alternatively, someone needs to learn how to convey humour in a written format.

    Poor old Fred Fanning would turn over in his grave, kicked more in 1 game

    But he talks well so he deserves the extra salary

    I thought this thread was going to speculate that we might kick 20 in a game. Fat chance.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
