Well Dawes spent most of the Night on the Bench and I don't know why.

There were no report of him being Injured so I was thinking maybe his Knee was Playing up because he had said in another Interview that his knee hurts in most Games he Plays.

That would explain why sometime he does not go 100% in Contest and Not Fantastic at Time below his Knee. If it Hurts to do it.

Just hope this will be with him his Whole Carrier and He can get 100% confidence in his Knee and does not hurt in games

It was wet
It was blustery
our midfield was getting slaughtered
Freo were flooding our space

dawes was having a mare none the less so he came off no injury no nothing just trying to clear up the forward line

Okay - Good Glad that he is not Injured.

Hope he plays in the Finals
 
Our forward line structure last night was horrible, the boys got in each others way quite often. But it's not where it was lost, our mids got smashed, were very unaccountable.
Can't really go judging Dawes on last night, our skills were ridiculously bad.
 
Dawes needs to be dropped. His marking hasn't been up to standard and his 2nd efforts are poor. Plus he simply gets in the way. He's actually having a negative effect on Medhurst's leading, so Med is finding himself drawn out of the 50m so Dawes doesn't get in his way

To be honest Meds was not doing much all night.

His first 4-5 disposals were not even VFL standard
 
Reason for Dawes Very Poor Start in the VFL

Been Talking to shawthing09 and he Accused Dawes on Being Like Fev in When he does not get the Ball he does not Try Very Hard and He Said that that was the Reason why Dawes Sucked early in the Season in the VFL because he did not Try.

To other VFL Watchers does that sound Right?

Way to paraphase DTM. I think you slightly mistook what I did say. It's got nothing to do with him not getting the ball but more his preformance. If he is not preforming he drops his bundle and there is a distinct difference in his efforts and intensity.

Well he Showed good Signs on Saturday where he did not get much of the Ball Early but seemed to try harder in the 2nd half
 
Re: Reason for Dawes Very Poor Start in the VFL

It's performing/performance no such word as preformance.

And Dave I don't think we need a thread on this. There are enough threads on dawes. We don't need one about his start to the VFL season when most of us weren't even concerned about it in the first place.
 
Re: Reason for Dawes Very Poor Start in the VFL

From what I saw of him in the VFL, whenever he was on a good lead, the kick 8 times out of 10 would soar 20m's over his head, or fall 20m short of him, it is hard to have an impact if midfielders can't hit their targets.

Talking too shawthing09 about his Leading and He says and Other people agree that his Leading Timing is Terrible but He said that Dawes is a Lousy overhead mark where I don't quite agree with that.

Can anyone else comment on that?
 
Another Thing people have said about Dawes as a Knock is that he is Below-Average overhead mark,

Do people here agree?
 
Re: Reason for Dawes Very Poor Start in the VFL

Dave it is clear you are a huge fan of the bloke and are looking for people to reinforce your love for him and you will get it. I hope the kid turns out to be a star. He is young and has time on his side.

As it stands there are two main ways tall fowards beat their opponents. On the lead either with pace i.e Franklin. Or with smart leadin Llyod for example.

The other main area is being a strong overhead mark. Cloke, Riewoldt, Roughy. That is taking the ball at the highest point. Or hitting the ball at full pace and marking over head or even just marking with arms fully extended.

As it stands the kids timing of his leads is poor. He is slow off the mark and his attempts to mark with extended arms have been very very poor.

I've been pleased with him at most times.

He is playing his role, but has a lot to learn.

He is a very important player for the future of our club because if he comes along well it gives us more flexibility with our other talls.

Well I am not Knocking your Creditability but you need more then 1 person to form a Opinion on Someone.

Listening to people in Footy like Archer and Some of the Callers on TV, They really Rate Dawes
