Backline disposal and clearances killing us.

 

 

(Oh but it's all Dawes fault apparently)

It's not all Dawes fault, but he is useless, a liabilty, a potato

Why? Apart from the one turnover today. What about Hogan's turnover, Bernie's, OMac's fumble, TMac's terrible kicks... They all have resulted in opposition goals, but it's not as trendy to bag them.

Hogan has 3 goals Stuie, It would take Dawes about 10 games to get 3 goals, He is one of the most ineffective forwards i have ever seen, 50 games and he does not even average a goal a game. He makes Brad Miller look like Wayne Carey

You're living in the 90s mate.

Dawes has never been a big goal kicker. Send an email to Roosy about his role if you like.

Not the 90's Stuie, the 80's.

Only on Demonland do people use every second post to bag a forward when we're getting beaten due to clearances, midfield handballs and backline disposal.

In 20 minutes,we had 5 goals kick on us in 9 minutes, and then 11 minutes of fantastic defensive pressure

Not stopping Hogan, Watts or Garlett having an impact. Poor call. Every major involvement Dawes has had resulted in a negative outcome.

Dawes is responsible for clearances? For disposal out of the backline? For everyone over handballing?

Righto...

Is he having his 'Trenners' moment today i wonder :unsure:

Game may have gone past him, and may have happened some time ago

He is not a goal kicker at best he is a defensive forward who isn't a reliable mark. I wasn't keen when it was muted that we were after him I'd rather play Hullet/The Weed.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
