If we are interpreting his case correctly... it is genuinely laughable. He's claiming a grand conspiracy between the club and medicos against him to keep him under a certain amount of games..?

I have been a defender of his, even in his time at Collingwood, but this is making a mockery of player welfare.

A sad end to a career.

I'm still too upset about the death of Patrick Swayze to take all this in properly.

As a rule we need to stop trading for Collingwood players.

What a sad outcome. There was a 'something fish'y odor about this from the start. How ironic we swapped him for Clark. I recall that it flashed through my tiny mind when Dawes was in the Casey trenches in his Demon tracksuit encouraging and coaching the Casey players as they interchanged in the Box Hill game late in the year. I wondered why Lumumba wasn't there as well.

Shows Dawes’ quality more than Lumumba’s lack of it if you ask me.

Dawes was always full of quality and had plenty of character and team spirit, his body just let him down.

Wow, just wow. I have defended this guy many times, but no more. We have been extremely sensitive to his well being with his concussions, not to mention his other....traits, and he decides he's going to sue us because he knows he's not in our best 22 next year and will fail to gain his trigger clause. 

For someone that has claimed honour, integrity, and moral high ground in the past this guy really has some nerve. Fight this [censored] Melbourne, Gus and Viney would be happy to stand up and tell the world about our cautious concussion management.

If it was MFC games that triggered the fourth year, the club could just as easily have played him at Casey rather than conspire w doctors to leave him on the sidelines. The whole claim is totally bizarre.

I've given him the benefit of the doubt at various times, but if there's an ounce truth to this then there can be no more defending him and I'll be pretty happy to see the back of him.

Just so i get this right Harry, the MFC had it not been cautious and took upteenth lengths and sought top medical advice and applied best practice and let you play before ready .... you'd probably sue for dereliction of duty of care.

The club did everything in your interest and you want to take action ????

There are words to describe you, honorable, appreciative, informed.... arent amongst them.

No wonder you dont dare show your face. You do need medical assistance, more than you understand !!

Amazing too that in an age where a lax approach to concussion both here and overseas has come under increasing scrutiny, H decides to take action against a club being extra cautious in the interests of his long term health.

Yes i will admit i was wrong about H as he hasn't been able to stick it out for one reason or another. Possibly getting crap advice now which makes for a bad taste.

Our pen friends like any chance to stick the knives in, the devil loves them. Suing the Club isn't the way to go and maybe this isn't true yet especially of someone who

promised to help all the younger players.

What a peanut.

Let's wait for all the lefties to come out and defend him and turn it into a racial debate.

Fair chance this post will be deleted.

Anyone with half an ounce of logic in them would see this guy is a total fIog, nothing racial just an idiot no matter what race/religion he is.  The club just needs to stick to the facts and the truth shine through.

The club will have learned a harsh lesson from both him and Clark, much as part of me still has a little chip on my shoulder with Mitch at least he had the decency to acknowledge we did all we could for him. H seems to be throwing our cautious approach to his long term health back in our faces.

And yes, your post probably should be deleted, if only to prevent an epidemic of migraines from violent facepalms!

Hate to say it but it is a complete replica of Mitch Clarke:  Injured, takes time out, depression (from Roos' comment that H was in a 'better head space'), take a break from the club, 'can't' come back so wants a payout.

 

The difference being is that I really hoped Clarke would come good and I was a little hurt at the bs he sold us

With Harry... well... yelling 'Just pack your @#$%ing bags and get the @#$% out of my club' at that Essendon game this last season might tell you what I think

Bloody over rated footballer and a vastly over rated self important person

Shannon Noll just called, he's a little upset that the Prince stole his song...

On a serious note, wish I could be paid well, be 'fit to work' but allowed paid time off, and then quit and ask for another years salary.

Hope when the door hits his ass on the way out, it doesn't try and sue the house

Seriously ?

What has this got to do with left or right or race ?

Poor behavior crosses all spectrums and from my reading he is behaving poorly.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
