Looking at stats of Dawes: 2012 - 36 shots on goal, 16 goals. 2011 - 42 shots on goal, 27 goals. 2010 - 46 shots on goal, 30 goals. The key stat though is in 2012, he had 89 hitouts compared to 12 and 2. Fair to say, his role in the ruck has had a big impact on his effectiveness and confidence. So in stating the obvious. Give him the role of a forward and thats all. Let him focus, get his confidence and if he has a 30 goal season, its definitely a win.

1. Any forceful contact below the knees of an opponent will result in a free kick. Lol. Another "grey" rule.

B: Nicholson, Frawley, Garland HB: Tapscott, Watts, McDonald C: Trengove, Grimes, Viney HF: Howe, Dawes, Sylvia F: Blease, Clark, Byrnes R: Jamar, McKenzie, Jones I: Pederson, Strauss, Tynan, Ray Emg: Davey, Wines, Dunn, Sellar, Bail Reckon Dunn, Sellar, Bail, Tapscott and Nicho will be alternating week in week out.

Lets not count our chickens I'm mega pumped that it looks like Dawes and Pederson are coming to the MFC. Lets just get the deals across the line I remember a Mitch Clark was definitely going to Fremantle once upon a time.

You are aware that Todd Viney is an employee of the MFC?

My only thing I could think of is: they sign Moloney as a RFA, and then we trade the compensation pick that we will be getting for Moloney to them for Rich. But I can't see them doing that until Rivers' future is decided.

I found myself pregnant once. Then realised I was a guy and I was just fat.

Dreaming if he is going anywhere. Close to their most important player structurally.

Are people still bloody putting Jurrah in a trade situation. FFS. Seriously. Jurrah is worth nothing and if port want him, they'll get him via the rookie draft. Thats if he even nominates. Stop wasting people's time. Close this thread.

The hit on Hirdy...love it!

That you trapper?

I've just watched the replay of this match. In just over a year of football Melbourne will/no longer have: Jurrah, Green, Moloney, Scully, Questions/rumours over whether the following will be at the club: Morton, Gysberts, Bennell, Martin, Evans, Jetta, Strauss That's 11 players out of 22 that are gone or have question marks over their heads. Just shows how far off the mark we were IMO.

Definitely a "swag's" worth of picks then. LOL

The club are definitely looking to establish ties with China. I can't comment on the recruiting of players side of things. But they're definitely making inroads to the local chinese community and establishing links over in China.

I'll also own up. I went to a pre season match down at Casey Fields the year we drafted Scully and Trenners. I said to a mate there: "It'll be a shame once Scully and Trengove come good, cause there won't be a spot in our midfield for Jonesy". Oh how wrong I was.

pft. Why did I even bother responding. Guys first post. Obviously a troll

You're trying to draw conclusions based on: 2 videos of which there was no sound of which you don't know what the topics were. And on top of that you're trying to add to that the meaning of whether that is enough evidence to conclude whether DB, MN or NC are good coaches or not? Do you take into account Adelaide making finals under NC? You only see what you want to see....

So, anyone think we could convince tippett to melbourne? Brissie will be offering up pick 6. Could we trump them and offer them pick 4? Or reckon Tippett is sold on going back to QLD like Clark was sold on going back to WA?

Totally disagree. Ok it may be the worst in the AFL, but the fact that Moloney, Couch, Magner dominate in the VFL and can't make it at AFL level, it would suggest that ours is in fact better than the best midfield in the VFL.

I'm not agreeing nor disagreeing with the topic. But just cause 2 professional athletes are running around the tan doesn't really mean they've "bought" in to anything. Thats all.

Ummm...can't trade the pick after bidding.

Exactly right. I'm fairly sure one Jack Viney will be our pick in the 20s

Oh dear. Don't suppose you saw Rivers playing forward for half the year? Don't suppose you notice that Hawks play with a spare man in defence a lot...we barely did it all year. Have you seen Gibson's disposal compared to Rivers?

Edwards screams too much of Juice Newton to me. Great talent, has the ability, just can't put it together. He's 28. No Thanks.
