Dawes

[syl]

Mad props for mentioning pedobear while quoting a picture of a small Mexican child.

Did you not see my post earlier in this thread of me in a pedo bear outfit???

Anywho. It was very well done. Dun dun dun dun dun-dun!!!

 

[CowboyFromHell]

Agree. I'd rather Pedo than Dawes. Pedo is way more versatile and a flat out better player IMO. I still think we can get both though.

I thought no one wanted to come to the dees. Barrett = G&GF

Barrett only said that because Wellingham and Caddy weren't keen on coming here, so he just assumed that it meant no-one in the league wanted to come to the club. Was always a silly statement, and we've proved that.

Cfh is right. It was only in the context of those two, and when pressed he had no one else to add. Just a stupid flippant comment

 

[demonfan9]

Not expecting a great deal from him, just as long as he works hard, presents well and shares some of the workload with the main man Clark.

Not many sides have two gun key forwards anyway. We've now got one gun (Clark) and one decent forward. His confidence clearly took a tumble this year, but he's a 24yo +100kg premiership centre half forward, so he is certainly better than any other option we have for the role.

Throw in a genuine crumber in Byrnes and Howie leaping on blokes heads and we've finally got a forward structure which we've lacked since the Neitz/Robertson days.

Step 1: Delist Cook
Step 2: Draft Dawes + Hogan
Step 3:???
Step 4: Profit

Step 5: Make Step 2 make sense. We can only trade for Dawes and Hogan is already drafted.

Good get. Depending on what the trade involves I think it will be a win win win. Dawes will improve when he is allowed to be a go to man. Plus it will free up Clarke to play less in the fwd line and more in the ruck.​

Dont think so

Clarke is easily our best ruckman, you know. If/when the midfield is struggling to get it forward, put Dawes in the goalsquare, bring Clarke up to drop the ball down Jonesy's throat, quick clearance to a contest with Byrnes waiting at Dawes' feet. It'll happen, and it'll work.

Does anyone know how Mitch Clarke's foot is progressing?

Last time I heard he was on track for day one of pre-season.

Said on Twitter today he managed his first skip from a walk. Still reckons hes good to go for day 1!

Thanks for pulling me up, I'll take this on board so my next attempt at humor isn't subsided by stupidity.

Dawes, I'm happy with that - as long as it didn't involve a high first round pick.

If we can somehow manage to keep 20 I'll be stoked.

Martin, Petterd can go.

 

[Jimi]

We are going to have to give up 20.No way is he worth that. Pass.

Edit: To clarify. I think that pick 20 has more value to us in the draft than on Dawes. We need mids badly and Viney/Pick 4 is not enough to fill that massive hole. If we can get a second round compo pick for Moloney then I'd be happy to on-trade that (plus a player) for Dawes, but pick 20 in this draft has too much currency.

 

[BETON5]

Did you see the ball bounce of Dawes' chest this year?

Have you not seen blokes like Brown and Reiwoldt and even Franklin drop easy marks they are expected to take .FFS He will be super at us.

 

[BETON5]

You oversaw the whole deal did you? Or are you taking Barrett at his word?

Ridiculous.

Barrett is a puppett, he is getting as bad at Hutchy fair dinkum.
Barretts talk is about 10% truth when you take all the dribble away from it.

 

[Devastating Boris]

Just for everyone saying the pies don't have to trade him, they kinda do. No way can you have someone give the senior coach a spray of the magnitude that Dawes gave bucks and still stay at the club. It was as if Biff himself had temporarily possessed Dawes' body.

Those three would see Dawes' 2010/11 as shocking seasons for them.

I thought no one wanted to come to the dees. Barrett = G&GF

A pretty easy decision by Dawes
Melbourne or Carlton
A simple easily understood decision
A club rebuilding or a tanking, corporate criminal, salary cap cheating scumbag club.

Byrnes and Dawes are nobody's

 

[Devastating Boris]

Byrnes and Dawes are nobody's

3 premierships between them. Not bad for nobody's.

What did he say? I'm OS and missed it.

You're right, here's Brad Miller's screamer:

Gee whiz.

But what's going on with her upper abdomen? Scar?

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Byrnes and Dawes are nobody's

As opposed to all those huge names that change clubs every year...

 

[lose]

Pretty sure Pedersen wants in as well

 

[TheBoss]

Sorry, I just can't get excited for recruiting for a KPF who is incapable of taking a mark above his shoulders.
