Chris Dawes on the table

Pity Dawes doesn't play like a KPP.

he's now a 3rd tall... & Curnow would be great IMO. to replace JW.

Dawes fortunately has more going for him than his goal tally.

He provides a contest and makes space on the ground for Hogan who likes playing with him probably for those reasons.

More importantly he has played in a final series and will add that experience to our squad.

We can make the finals this year and as they say it is a new season. I will be hoping that Dawes is still there to help lift his teammates to that higher level when anything is possible.

Dawes is a leader & is a conservative with maturity, which the GCoaster Suns sorely lack; with only GABjnr as leader & had Mal Browns boy up there. No wonder they're ship doesn't sail straight.

they had no Jnr Macs to help with Leadership, stability & for hard work role models.

    Dawes = Brad Millar mark 2, and all that comes with it.

    The biggest issue with Dawes has to be his body. As much as anything else, we need on-field stability, which is difficult with a player who has to pass a fitness test every other week.

    I'd have Millsy ahead, in today's game style of increasing physicality. He could take marks out in front, better hands, & physically reliable. We could manage playing Miller as a 2nd tall, with a resting ruck.

    i would prefer Dawes to stay, having better delivery and not having two defenders hanging off him and having some crumbers around him would certainly improve his and our scoring capability. The guy may have injuries that is because he is running flat out all over the ground every game he plays. I cannot fault his endeavour and I trust that will pay of for us when the side supports him a little better.

    Dawes to Brisbane

    Gigs fizzing or just a prediction?

    Heard from a reliable source.

    He's unhappy at Melbourne playing a decoy role for Hogan and Melbourne are said to be unhappy with his output thus far. As Brisbane badly need a forward they have decided to take a punt on him.. will be one of the first deals done.

    BigFooty isn't a reliable source.

    Way to copy an unsubstantiated post straight from BigFooty.

    nothing wrong with passing rumours on

    but next time give your source so we can put a weighting on it

    its OK mate, you don't need to answer to obsessives with no manners.

    your allowed to communicate free, its Australia. I think.

    copy, maybe its his post & information???

    or maybe even, he's the agent ?

    I hardly assume one would bother to post on BigFooty as a Richmond supporter, then post on Demonland as a Melbourne fan.

    well, i heard the rumour when I was over there looking at the drats & trading, but it didn't bother me enough to go to the trouble of looking up post counts, or teams followed. I'm not interested enough in others small posts to get irritated by them, If i read carp, i just move past it as I sieve thru stuff.

    getting worked up over others individual traits, is just small minded & a waste of emotional energy, IMO.. unless they are attacking personally & directly. snipers are just that, snipers. nothing more. if that gets them thru the day, then that's what they're needs are based on.

    yeah, you have the right to say anything, & also receive it to. but thats what you get in return... kama. if you want an intolerant & overly obsessive forum, then you get that.

    you see, no one has the right to demand someone change who they are, or how they communicate with others. that heads down the bigotry direction of trying to command conformity in uniformity.

    this is the trouble... there are precious few who care here about others... mostly its about self... & then there are the "captain straight men". those who love to criticise posters, but cannot tolerate criticism of some players playing styles, &/or their courage, or lack of.

    they almost care as well.

    & those in the mcc almost care about those in the outer,,, & those no longer in the outer, (no longer members, nay supporters)

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
