20 goals

What
in Melbourne Demons

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".

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
