The discussion of Dawes is starting to spill over into other threads like a dropped mark over the boundary line. Joke. But let's stop discussing Chris as to structure, yards and stats (e.g. 6 goals for the season). Let's all watch the replay of the last game and we can pin-point the specific contests we'd like to talk about. Easy. State your time-code and then chat away. Mark, no mark, good lead, second effort - no need for speculation, just use the footage to back your argument.

While we need to continue to stock up our mids we desperately need another tall forward to partner up with Hogan.

Dixon would be ideal for our structure. He could provide Gawn with ruck relief, and give Hogan a chop out.

He wasn't much better at Collingwood, still don't know why we picked him up in the first place.

To be honest I prefer Peterson as a CHF/Ruck role over Dawes.

We definitely need to draft a CHF this year.

The simple fact is he gets his hands into position to clean mark so many balls, and he 2 grabs and fails to mark most of them. We don't get it forward enough to have luxury of dropping all our hard work.

I've been a fan of his until this year. I like his work rate and pressure etc... But he's not dropping balls 15m out with a crumber at his feet like the old days. They're further out and costly.

The other simple fact is there's no one better to replace him at the moment. So what can you do?

and inb4 his work off the ball. Someone else can do that. We need another KPF. Not only does Dawes drop it he somehow does it so we lose the contests entirely and then interferes with our crumbers in his second ' efforts'.

As none of what you have just written was true today, it is just garbage.

6 marks today, would have thought that a fair return.

Dawes has his limitations, but he is a flag winning CHF and the best we have ATM. Of course it would be great if we could replace him with someone better, but right now I just want more consistency from him. When he plays well, we tend to win. Eg Thought he was very good early against Brisbane, hardly noticed him in the second half.

His premiership medal is totally irrelevant.

He is unco as.

Cale Mortons brother has a premiership medal also.

We don't owe Dawes anything.

He owes the MFC big time.

He should accept a reduced salary next year or pack it in.

You weren't getting enough love in the post match discussion thread for bagging him so you decided to make a separate thread to feed your ego?

Nice work, mate.

It hurts because it's true.

Just helped us win a game of footy against his old mob for our first win against them for 8 years.

He has received little other than backhanded compliments.

I am sorry to tell you this - Hogan's Forwardline needs him.

He is horribly out of marking touch and confidence, although it is getting a little better, but the way he competes and advances the footy and takes attention from Hogan are a few of the reasons why we won with 44 Inside 50s.

I will back him to regain some marking form and that will make him one of the better 2nd targets in the league.

Interesting that Dawes only gets praise after wins. Plays at an acceptable level once we're in front, rest of the time he looks like he shouldn't be out there.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
