How many people have you kicked off your precious little facebook page for disagreeing with you on the Dawes arguement Stuie?

Il take a shot and say 738373683837..

Amazing that 1 person could continue to  bat for a spud like Dawes who plays the witches hat role quite well.

Nawwwww did you get kicked off? Need a tissue mate?

Actually been paying attention at all? Both here and on the fb page I've said he should be dropped this week. I've also said the hysteria is about him is ridiculous. Bunch of drama queens.

Nah never actually joined. Stopped short once i found out you were running the joint. Besides word gets around pretty quick especially with your 'Dictator' reputation... Your a very popular man amongst Melbourne supporters.

And besides i personally don't see the hysteria in it. We are just all calling it as we see it, and that is he is a spud plain and simple.. Do you disagree?

Dawes is NOT the new whipping boy - any poster who thinks Dawes is worthy of being in our best 22 is not watching his games. He was totally inept yesterday and our team was hindered not helped by his presence.

He is obviously done at this level of football, and the club has to cut its losses and bring in a young bloke or bring back Pedo.

Lets face up to the truth, Dawes was a financial loss to the club.

Good luck to him outside of football.

I thought he was ok in his first game back this season, and I thought he might work into some decent form for the rest of the year, but he has only gone backwards since. He was diabolical yesterday.

Finals are out of the question, Dawes is struggling, while Hulett and Weidemann are performing well in the reserves. I can't see anything to lose from giving them both a handful of games each for the rest of year. And if they aren't deemed ready, then get Pedo back in there.

Hmmmm yet somehow you claim to know what gets posted in there by me....? Weird...

He's clearly not a spud. He wouldn't have had a key role in a premiership team and still be playing at age 28 if he was. He's never been a gun player, don't know why some were think he was or should be. He's there to play a role while we wait for better options to come through. Simple as that. Not worth all this dramatic discussion over.

Thanks for that crunching tackle against the Crows a couple years ago Dawsey but it's time to move on.

I won't repeat what I said about him whilst watching the game yesterday but needless to say it wasn't kind.

Yet here you still are. To be fair I think your number of posts has now exceeded any negative ones I have made about dawes. I could say thats ironic but I accept its simply a case of you having a right of opinion. There is no hysteria here perhaps you are projecting.

You've got a really good eye for football talent Stuie as your Dawes love shows.

There is no disgrace in admitting you are completely wrong and have terrible judgement.

Not as much as the love for Brent Maloney or Jordan Gysberts back in the day biff.

This guy should not play another game this year.

Absolute disaster trade by Neeld. Guy is an out and out DUD.

Can't mark, can't kick, no skills below his knees. Yet he's on 500k a year.

Staggering. I don't care whatever "structure" he brings, bloke should not play again this year.

What?

Why the need to start an entire thread with the sole purpose of hanging [censored] on a player? It's mind numbing.

Talk about this in the post-match, or the contracts thread, or any of the other threads that exist to talk about what might happen to players post-season.

But it's not great to push this barrow that you've already done to death on the post-match thread, knowing that it will generate lots of bandwagon vitriol from the rest of the forum.

Would make a great goal umpire because his marking action is same as a 9 pointer super goal

Can't figure out if you are saying that feminine traits are something to be mocked, or if you are insinuating the poster is homosexual, but either way it's not a good look for our resident SJW.

 

Oh hang on that was last weeks cause. This week the Dawes cause is on the 'self righteous anger' agenda. Sorry bud, I didn't read the memo.

What role do you think he is playing? The discussion is not dramatic, people who go and watch our club play expect senior guys to do the job at this level.  Dawes was shocking and looked like the game has passed him by.  Nothing dramatic about telling how it is.

Half forward.

Yep, had a shocker might be dropped.

Pedo has had pneumonia, Weed isn't ready, Spencer can't kick, Mitch King is out for the year, Max King is nowhere near it, Hulett has a low fitness base after an interrupted 2015.

People are just going around in circles. How many times do they want to say "AHHHHH his salary" "AHHHHH his marking".... blah blah, it's been done to death, nothing can change right now. It's just post after post of seemingly cathartic release for the same posters, with no actual discussion, just the same repeated complaints.

I like Dawes but I think the body is letting him down.

No matter how well you think through the game if your hands and legs don't work then you can't play at the highest level.

Maybe he will make a hard call soon...would not surprise me.

we effectively played with a man down yesterday with him in the side... we lost the game at the selection table picking him to play.

Should never play for the MFC again.We are playing one short when Dawes is selected.Anyone on the list could play his role. His refusal to ruck is staggering. Even on a base salary contract next season it would be a disaster. Don't worry about a trade,just delist.Not that anyone would want him.Club needs to make a statement and leave him at Casey.Should nominate a worthy charity and donate a fair chunk of his inflated contract.Disgrace.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
