Backline disposal and clearances killing us.

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
