Time to start aiming for eight: Chris Dawes

Featured Replies

 

Snide and superfluous comments aside, Dawes' view is worth reading. He's really saying it's time for the team to raise the bar, and indicating that's what he expects of himself as well

Talk is good and the sentiment quality I just hope he performs next season is all

Oh, is that all you were saying?

Coz, I understood it as a direct correlation between Dawes marking the ball and us making the finals.


Good.

When Danners took over after a spoon year he immediately began talking finals.

Setting your standards high can't hurt anymore than the last eight years have.

Time to start? What the hell were they trying to do the last 7 years

Building the best VFL team in the ALF is my guess.

 

This is always the best part of the Dawes 500k season, and he is suspended yet again," if it is to be it is up to others."

Couldn't even get that right, scorps finished next to last as well



Dawes has been a fantastic pick up.

Leader.

Culture changer.

Teacher.

Stop [censored] turning on him!

Yes but his main job is to kick goals which he hasn't (please don't give me the 'ball doesn't get down there enough' routine)

Won't deny he's not all of those things, but I didn't have much time for his spray at JKH for that "selfish" goal, when he did the exact same thing himself multiple times, despite players presenting in the goal square. There's one such example in this video.

Why not, LH? It didn't!

Agree - I didn't either, but I'm sure they've both spoken about that and moved on...

Is it?

I suspect his main role is to provide structure/target, forward pressure and leadership on the field. Which I think he did reasonably well for most of the year.

Probably lost his way a little late (had plenty of mates) but if he gets a pre season in I think he'll have a big year next year.

In my opinion, he's the best leader we have.


If we are going to get near or in the eight I think it would be easier (if there such a word) to get there if he was playing for us rather than not in this current football generation.

How about we aim on getting out of the bottom 2 for a change?

by the time we get out of bottom 2 we will have 22 top 5 draft picks out on the ground!

 

One of the most talented lists in the comp?

lol wat?

We probably do. I think we're only a Dangerfield away from making the finals in 2015, but obviously that won't happen, so seeing Viney, Toumpas, Tyson, Watts, Hogan, McDonald, Kent, JKH, Jetta all improve will have to do.

Do we have a better list than we did in 2010? I'd argue that that potentially we do. I don't think we've had so many young players impress in one year as Tyson, JKH, Jetta, Kent did in 2014 for a very long time.
