Chris Dawes on the table

[dee-tox 4,835]

I wonder when the the umpires blow their whistle to signal a mark they attach the following commentary. "Chris, it's in your hands if you are looking for it!"

[rpfc 28,779]

JBrown worked fine as a CHF. Don't see the problem myself

So Casboult is Alistair Lynch calibre?

Why didn't you say so?

Let's get him?

ND6 and Brayshaw should do it for such a talent.

[monoccular 17,575]

.......

He is a cracking contested mare, one of the better in the league IMHO. ....

Should do ok in the spring racing season then ? :-))

nice one

The parallel was Hogan and Brown. Your inference was you had to have Hogan out of the square. I say bullshlt.

As do i to your poor attempt to evade the point.

Just show me where i said Casboult is Lynch .

I didn't infer it either. That you have . Really..thats the best straw you can find today ? lol

Im not for a moment commanding us to make a bee line for Levi.

But if he arrived and Dawes left id not be upset, nor ecstatic.

Your thinking is to leave Jesse up the sharp end. Mine isnt

We disagree.

You said that playing CHF 'worked for Jon Brown' in a dismissive way that was supposed to blow my point of keeping Hogan closer to goals - but it just served my point as he played in front of Lynch then Bradshaw then Fevola.

So getting Casboult to play there was what you were implying because that is what we are talking about but who really gives a rip.

And I never said 'Hogan out of the square' I said, Hogan 25 out with space around him.

You do that, and get 50 Inside 50s a game with our current forward line - Hogan will kick 70, Garlett 50, and the CHF will be a footnote, a role player. Hell, it could be Dawes...

Rpfc..the point is simple

You are saying Hogan is better when not at CHf...Im saying he is.

We'll just wait and watch.

I think in a 5 man forwardline, the FF-Power forward, would start in the goal-square roughly, then lead up field & double back, roaming for the ball. Creating space & banging bodies along the way.

...... the starting CHF would surely already have rushed through the square leaving open space behind him, acting as another big mid, ending up around defensive 50M ?

Hogan is your quintessential CHF.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Hogan is your quintessential CHF.

of course he is, of the old. But things have changed, the way the game has evolved so far. one tall forward up front, plus a resting follower ?

[Biffen 12,947]

If Carlton are dumb enough to trade Casboult for Dawes that's good.

And where is doing his 'CHF'? Where on the ground?

Sometime, someone will change it again. I've always been of the mibd you set up your attack to suit you, to play as you want to and it's up to the defence to negate you. So often i see sides setting up their offence ( fwd stricture ) as to defend against the opposition's defenders. All arze about for mine.

At least youse are all leaving Jack Watts alone....

Alas, poor CD.

[Mach5 4,768]

Mahoney hosed down any talk of Dawes.

He said his name came up once, only once, and not again.

well this is a Chris Dawes thread...

[DeeZee 7,445]

These day you don't really think in set positions like full forward and centre half forward.

It's more Power forward first option, and second and third tall in the forward line,,small crumbing and medium sized forwards who push into the midfield.

And which of Hogan, Dawes or Garlett will relieve Gawn in the ruck?

[rpfc 28,779]

Oh, who do you think?

Unless a better option actually gets to the club - Dawes will have to go into the ruck for 6 minutes a qtr.

Boo hoo, Chris. Boo hoo.

I hope I never see Hogan in the ruck. Not the way to preserve his body. Bad, bad idea IMO.

I agree, it can change back again, & less rotations will slow things down a bit, but not enough to get back to a 6 man forwardline just yet. They will have to reduce the rotations more to get it back to 2004 levels.

lets hope they do.

for mine I want us to have hogan & wiedeman, plus a follower in the pocket. & Curnow RR/Flank.... i'm not asking for much. am I ?
