Dawes......some are open and others shut, Some are revolving. Some are ajar, some are jambed. This one's a bit stuffed overhead and I just can't quite get a handle on it. I'm inclined now to go in se

He looks shot - I would not be surprised if he retires at the end of his current contract. His body simply doesn't seem cut out to hold together at afl level. I'm one of few supporters who rates his

Not much of a "hunt" when you're pursuing an animal that's already shot.

lame game :rolleyes:

i really like Dawes, but as a player he is just so inconsistent.

What makes me wonder is who we are planning to get or develop to fill his place? Both now and for the long term.

King seems to be coming on well, but he is only 19 and very skinny still.

Frost? Looks good, but is unproven. The Pedo will do the job for now but he is ageing.

I know Hogan is the messiah but what happens if he starts getting injured again? Who is going to support him? There's Pedersen and perhaps Howe (if he stays) but that's about it. Our tall forward stocks are pretty thin. If Dawes is up for trade then I'd expect us to have a readymade replacement in mind.

Up there for post of the year along with Hogans_Heroes response in the Hamish Hartlett thread "I will abuse him on Twitter".

He's had one excellent game since Roos arrived. I couldn't tell you anything noteworthy he did in 2013.

Good leader and great bloke but it became obvious as the season progressed that he and Hogan shouldn't play in the same team. Pedersen, ironically, plays Dawes' role far better than Dawes himself. If we can get currency for him then move him on, just like Howe.

Dont get me wrong here I liked your post, it gave me a great laugh.

I agree totally with you.

I've been banging on all day how Majak Daw would be a better option and cost about 400k less.

Anyway Majak has been done to death.

It does make you think that they may have someone lined up. We're freeing up the cap space.

Haha, glad you clarified that one. Being ranked next to HH for post of the year was disconcerting. ;)

The Hartlett comment was actually bloody funny(to me anyway).

Every now and then he comes out with some classic lines.

But..its really about on the park , on the day.

Its just not happening.

I'm yet to determine if HH is a satirist or legitimate poster.

I wouldn't put it past Titus O'Reily to be trolling us.

We fuel the finest fodder !!

Its strange because you don't know who anyone else is but you get a feel for them by their posts. Every now and again there's a heated debate but there's also some wit, which goes a long way.

We can't win a premiership but we're possibly the most interesting forum.

Funny old world.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
