Yeah Dawes is a monster any chance him playing this year?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Not for Collingwood, no.

So he'll be developed in Willi?

 

[like. pendlebury]

Agree.

While he missed a couple of shots, he didn't miss them by a great deal and they all came off the boot well and spun properly. At least he didn't kick any Tarrant helicopters or Cloke shanks.

i agree there was alot of preesure on him to perform being our number 1 draft pick and playing full forward. there was great signs and he will only inprove for sure!

yes but do you keep him when rocca comes back?

 

[like. pendlebury]

i reckon u do just in case rocca has one of those days when nothin goes right. just another target up forward that we need also if rocca is in the side he will get the best defender. then trav will get 2nd. this means ben will get 3rd or more given him more of a chance to kick goals

In regards to bringing guys like Dawes in we need to remember that If Reid, Brown,cloke ,Anthony, Dawes turn out to be as good as we hope it is unlikely they will all fit into 1 team. We would be to top heavy if you add to this Rocca, Presti and Fraser(plus a back up ruck)and even clement to a lesser extend. There is no rush with these guys. If Dawes takes a year or 2 and we have no real injury concerns then he may be a good replacement for Rocca in 2 or 3 years. Obivously if we have injuries and if he is good enough next year then he might get an opportunity.

great point at the moment there is no rush!

Have heard from a very reliable and knowledgable source in a former Richmond Football manager who is my cousin that Ben Reid is the "real deal" and all recruiting managers have realised this.

We've known this since he was drafted.

Apparantly last night after half time he strained his hammy.

Source?

Obviously if true that is important as it explains the fade-out.
