Dawesy still a vital cog

Frost's miss in the third was a turning point. Get it and we were a goal behind his miss lead to a coast to coast Saints goal and we were three goals behind. End of any chance of a competitive game..

The number of coast to coast goals was embarrassing and reminded me of the Essendon game.

Dawes is sucking the life out of our salary cap. Most pundits estimates are between $500-600k pa. Where has his bang for buck been at MFC? Sure, we got to pay someone, and he's been injured, blah, blah, blah. Is he OOC at the end of this year? That money can be used to throw at a bigger, less fragile fish. Dawes will either not be at MFC next year or be on a hugely decreased contract.

Does he offer something going forward? Sure, but no one is holding their breath. Rather look elsewhere.

Yes and we need a tall to support Gawn.

This isn't correct. His contract was massively front ended. I think you would find he is sucking a very modest amount now. He wouldn't be getting a real lot if he's around next year but he'd have to have an amazing season once he gets back in to get another contract 

He must have nearly finished his law degree, paid for by MFC's salary. That's the reason he's kept playing for the Dees. His output has been abysmal. Constantly injured, drops marks, kicks underground. How is this "leadership" that he is touted to have displayed? Playing bad football is no example to the rest of the team. He should have retired by now.

 

I can't say with any confidence that he will make a difference. Dawes has shown glimpses here and there, but he is often banged up or injured. Fully fit and firing he would help us. I just don't think his body can do what he needs it to do anymore.

We need to build a new cog into the machine. I think the weed is the new cog.

Dawes is still very much a vital cog..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Casey..


Then him into a backlime gorilla. We got absolutely no depth in that area and we need it

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
