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.

I so hoped he'd prove ok as hes everything youd want in a middle order semi senior player.

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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
