Just so people don't forget.

Spencer was only given a one-year deal.

Which basically says to me that as soon as we land someone who offers more than being able to eat five parma's in one sitting, he'll be gone.

Daw is not the answer, for the hundredth time. But I'd have him over Spencer on any given day for a third or fourth rounder.

Gawn has shown just how difficult he can be to match-up on as a forward and I firmly believe that if we wish for him to continue playing consistent football for entire seasons at our club, he is going to need a helluva lot more support than the odd Pedo/Watts cameo in the ruck. He has had three knee oppos and is the second tallest ruckman in the league and not far from the heaviest either I would imagine. The club would be well aware of this and I think as soon as we get someone in who can also provide a genuine forward target and can kick goals, we'll see a double-team situation in which Gawn will have more periods forward.

Would love a quality forward/ruckman. But Daw is better than what we currently have and will provide further support whilst the Kings continue developing their bodies and footy at VFL.

Ben Brown, Mason Cox, Mike Pike... It'll click for Daw at some stage.

Tell me this isn't true.

Can you show me Dawes then since he arrived at the club?

How many games has he influenced besides the one against Adelaide?

We get it BA. You rate Daw very highly.

I haven't mentioned or made an argument for Dawes so I don't get your point, sorry.

My argument was that a player who has a highlights reel obviously looks good in it. Point being it's a pretty weak tool to convince someone a player has any worth.

(FWIW Dawes highlight package makes him look like a star, Neeld probably watched this and drafted him based on it. How'd that work out?)

No, why don't you stop warging about and leave earlier?!

Fn Starks.

 

The only Stark I trust is Tony.

Just sign the Accords, Steve...

 

(That's a lot of pop culture right there...)

Where is the Demonland GoT thread so I can outline everything wrong with this post?

No way. He's shithouse and a [censored] person by the sounds of it.

Who exactly?

He has not been charged with any crimes.

He is struggling to get a Guernsey because he is back up to Goldstein .

He goes well at VFL level.

Well worth consideration I would think.

He was charged, but not convicted.

As someone who's privy to a lot of inside information (due family involvement at the club), I hope we stay well away from Daw. There's a lot more to his story than just past off-field issues and lots of potential.

Whilst he has potential to actually be a good player, he has much more potential to cause disharmony amongst the playing group. Unfortunately it's his off field actions (re: training, attitude & respect for other players) that I would suggest are most of concern than any past alleged actions.

Bad culture at the Saint too- back then at least.

Clearly we won't be chasing Daw, if it was to happen it needed to be last year so he could play this year and possibly part of next depending on how quickly The Weed and Hulett develop.

When he's on he's a terrific presence. My only concern is that he has the aerobic capacity of Russ Hinze.

was quite young at the time

listened to an interview of him the other day. he spoke very well, articulate and intelligent

agree, seems to be way past it now

don't think saty could cope with the guns though

Daw gets pushed around too easily, if my sister fed him up on her scones ( more like chunks of granite ) then he would put weight on in no time. At this stage it is a no for me.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
