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!

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

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
