The love for Pedo vs the hatred of Dawes is mystifying given the similarities between these numbers..

Pedo also missed most of the year and will be 29 when this season starts.

I don't think either offer us much. Dawes can't hold his grabs and struggles to get to the contest and/or best position and Pedo can hold his grabs but is lazy and doesn't have a lot of game sense.

The sooner Weideman & Hulett are playing the better.

Different game this year. Play on all the time, we'll see it in in NAB...

Peddo wins just about every category though.

But Dawes can bring the ball to ground in ways that nobody else can.

It's like trying to figure out which is better -  home and away or neighbours.

 

I would like to clone Millers ability to lead up, Dawes for his 1% and willingness to put in and Pedo's hands when he is on.

By the barest of margins if at all, hence the mystery about their polar opposite appeal on here.

Neither are solutions as the second tall going forward as both have many limitations..

More than a hint there, DD36. Gravity works just as well whether Dawes is in the team or not.

I bloody hope not, not if he is going to deliver what he has so far

I don't have the contempt for him that many do, but it has to be said that in his 44 games over 3 years he has only had an 'important' impact maybe 10 times at best

and as the OP has pointed out, he's missed one game out of every three for injury, which clearly doesn't help

I reckon he has it in him though

He has played almost 75% of the games in the last 3 years. I don't believe the league average is much more than that.

 Chris Dawes is one of the most important players for our club in 2016.  Jesse Hogan will be targeted next season, he needs the seasoned big body next to him.  Like to see Pedersen as the third tall and give the young talls time to develop.  To have a forward line like below gives us a chance 

Garlett Hogan Pederson

Watts Dawes Kent

 

Totally agree. We need 2 additional big bodied forwards to help hogan out. 

If all that he does is to take some pressure off hogan then he is worth his spot.

big bodied forwards are hard to come by and he plays an invaluable role as the link man and bringing the ball to ground. 

There is a reason that he gets selected every week and doesn't get dropped

Have you considered that during the last three years there has been next to no alternatives?

Aren't you meant to be at training, Chris?

3 years x 22 games = 66 games.

44 is 66.7% of 66.

75% of the time I am right 100% of the time.

People are forgetting that Pedo would be on half the salary of Dawes. So for Pedo to beat Dawes in most categories, even by the slightest of margins, is pretty damning for Dawes. Plus the big key thing that Pedo has is that he can take a [censored] overhead mark which, believe it or not, is a pretty vital skill for a key forward.

Dawes will get a game over pederson every week and frost has played all of 1 game for the club.
