2016 Player Review - # 6 Chris Dawes

Does anyone know the logistics / contractural / salary cap implications would be  of delisting him as a player, and retaining him in some sort of off field "mentoring" / assistant role, should of course he be interested in such an arrangement?  

I understand that despite not being able to give much on the field due to his failing body he is well respected at the club especially as a leader / guide for the younger guys.

    Yeah he can instruct our forwards Howe to mark the ball or maybe how to spill the mark to advantage

    Just let this guy go he is an embarassment

    From the MFC site today:

    Mahoney said there was no talk from rival clubs about Chris Dawes’ future.

    Hard to imagine any clubs would take the punt. I like Dawes, I really do. He strikes me as a very smart and easygoing person, but even when he's fit, he provides very little upside. 

    47 goals from 50 games over four seasons, coming from someone who is being paid about 500k a year to regularly hit the scoreboard says it all really.

    I believe that the Dees will likely keep Dawes on a 1 year reduced pay check deal. Will provide good leadership to a young side. 

    Will essentially fight for a spot with Pederson and Weiderman.

    I hope this is right. Dawes needs to train his ass off this summer. 

    But he is a big unit who can still be very useful

    Some of the comments on here are disgusting btw

    I think he has to go.  If he stays then it's only as a depth player.  So he would be at Casey demanding to be the main go to forward - that doesn't help players like Hulett to develop.

    I think it's time to move on...

    If Dawes is on our list next year it means we haven't achieved some of what we want this draft/trade period.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
