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...

    and teh game hasn't changed much since then has it

    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".

    LOL @ comparing Dawes to 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
