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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
