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.

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
