From what little I have seen of him, have always liked him and reckon he could be a very good 2nd ruck / forward. Hard to do at North with Petrie and Goldie.

Depending on what the lawyers think of his legal problems, is he worth the risk?

(Out of contract now)

    Yes and I posted this 2 weeks ago in the 2nd ruck/fwd thread.

    No

    Why no DD?

    As a seat warmer for 2-3 years he'd give more than Dawes.

    Did you see him rd 23 game.

    I'm not saying you rate Dawes but when most people speak of him I keep hearing : brings it ground, provides a contest.....

    Daw can ruck, mark, disposal is ok(it's improved from what it was) and tackle.

    I always thought Daw had some promise. Don't think he gets much chance at Arden st. Not sure he's come on as possibly expected.

    How many Daws do we want :rolleyes:

    yes he does; his issues were years ago, when much younger. everyone has to mature from their adolescent's. & he has had bigger issues Re cultural hurdles, that put stress on, than most.

    He's an amazing athlete, but I'm not sold on his football. He can do some freakish things, but not frequently enough to justify a game on their own.

    far less the DH than Bennell...but everyone wants Harley :rolleyes:

    That, and hooking up with a team mates (Daniel Pratt) girlfriend.

    I don't want to see us waiting out both Melksham's WADA suspension & Daw's jail time.

    Ok...

    Check what I said in that thread.

    Never said I wanted him, said I wouldn't be against him. Bit of a difference.

    I mean I'm not against Grand Final Eve being a public holiday. Doesn't mean I think it should have happened.

    Is this the same Daw who can't get a game? Yep he'll help us climb the ladder.

    He's kicked 6 goals in his career.. He's a good athlete but not a footballer.

    Can take a contested mark. (Dawes struggled to take a chest mark)

    Can kick reasonably straight. (Dawes might be a bigger kick)

    Can cover the ground. (Dawes is a plodder)

    Can ruck effectively enough for a decent chop out. (Dawes can't)

    No one is suggesting he's a world beater and I don't see him as a long term option but what's our options....Dawes? How much crap did he cop on here during the year. We will be forced to play him due to lack of other options. What if Gawn goes down? Take out Dunn/Jones/Vince all of our talent is 18-23. We need another fwd, our play for Lynch failed. If we draft someone chances are they won't come on like Hogan has. We need someone to warm the seat.

    He would come cheap and we could do a lot worse....

    His round 23 game showed he has grown a player.

    He has kicked 6 goals in one AFL game, name the Demons who have done that?

    He has 17 goals from his 16 games, yes no world beater, but does he beat Dawes and Pedo?

    Did you watch rd 23 v the Tigers.

    He can play.

    And before someone says thats one game, some are getting excited about the Melksham highlight package vs the Suns.

    Pedersen will be the man.

    I don't get the reference to Lynch? He doesn't ruck, would have played a different role to what Daw would.

    I'd rather us go for Daniel Gorringe for more ruck depth if that's why you want Daw. Can ruck, rest forward, unfulfilled talent and would also come cheap. But I'll back Viney & co in on their decision.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
