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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
