Dawes should start to really focus on his legal career after football now.

It seems the sand in the hourglass is disappearing for him quite quickly.

Well, it it?

There seems to be little reference to the structure of our team.

We know Big Max can not ruck all day, all over the ground. We had some very good years with Jeff White rucking around the ground and David Schwarz doing the ruck work in the forward line. Schwarz was not very tall but was extremely effective.

It concerns me that we don't seem to have an answer. Do we have to include a second fall in Spencef? No-one seems to suggest that Hogan will pinch hit in the ruck, and Weideman must be years away from doing so.

For this reason I am interested in the suggestion that Weideman could play CHB, because there is one bloke on our list who could do the ruck work on the forward line, and that is Tom McDonald. I was impressed by his efforts at CHF last year.

Until Tommy Mac can be freed up to play forward, there is a need for Dawes, who SHOULD be able to do the ruck work around the forward line, tho I concede he is not great at it!

 

......... I have complete faith that Jason Taylor and crew know lots better than I do .........

LIKE..

Unlike many posters here who are convinced that they know more.

I guess in a Sam Weideman thread, it is about Sam.

Just seemed an odd thing to say in a thread that hasn't been posted in for 10 days.

Has he seen him at training, watched some of his underage footy or just watched his highlights?

Being a tragic and watching his highlights again. One thing i noticed was how good he is on both sides of his body, which is HUGE for a key forward (or any player for that matter).
He is naturally a right footer, but watch below how many times he uses his left, and is very damaging on it. Not scared of a contest either, and unlike a certain key-forward we have: HE CAN TAKE A MARK!

looks to have it all - good hands, speed and agility, good kick on both sides. May well have been the reason we cashed in next years pick. Can't wait to see Sam and Hogan together on our forward line. Delicious!

Looking forward to seeing him out there in the R&B sometime maybe mid to late 2016, if he has done enough at Casey and if the coaching panel / match committee feel he is good and ready (and I can't see why he might not be).  Looks a tough bugger.

It may be hard for the team to adapt though to a second tall forward whose remit is not to "bring the ball to ground" :-(

Praising bringing the ball to the ground always makes me laugh, gravity has always been good at that.

Done. I will now refer to Dawes as Gravity.

Speaking of gravity, perhaps the true gravity of the situation regarding  #6 playing future will become apparent if Sam W makes any decent progress in 2016. 

There would be a sense of irony if Sam W debuted on queens birthday ... However that never really played out the best for Jack watts. I wouldn't put it past the filth to target him with a special welcome to afl footy greeting... hopefully Viney is on the park

After what Paul Roos thought on our treatment of Watts then i highly doubt this.  The Schwab Connolly days of trying to fairy tale every young player debut is over.

I agree, it would be incredibly unlikely: however it would be a delicious irony were he to do so and kick a bag in a match winning performance.  

 

He and JW are very different players.

If his form warrants it they would look at him for QB, but I think they would still hold him back another week so he doesn't debut that round.

Agree. Roos talks about not wanting to put too much pressure on young players, and for an MFC player, the Queen's Birthday is about the most pressure-filled environment that a young player could debut in.

if i recall correctly, watts came in on qb after some outstanding vfl form.

 

it probably shouldn't have happened, but his selection was not unwarranted.

he got tackled and bounced straight up to receive a free kick

ruined his career apparently

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
