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.

    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)

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
