Releasing the mongrel in Chris Dawes!

[MagpieJoel]

I thought Dawes did okay in the ruck on Saturday. Hopefully we'll see some more improvement over the coming weeks.

I know you are having a laugh but I thought he was better on Saturday and had a passable game.

He is a confidence player so hopefully that is a step in the right direction.

You have got to be kidding me.
My mate and I were watching him closely and we actually wondered how far in the negative his dream team points would be.....

TERRIBLE game!!!

P.S Why can't someone teach him that holding your hands up flat in the air is going to cause the ball to bounce off every time?!

 

[Pera]

I chucked a bit of a gag in, but seriously, he clunked a few grabs while wearing that sticky glove.

Think we'll see the best of Dawesy in the coming weeks!

 

[I Remember Bluey]

How else can we get the best out of Dawezilla?

I grew up on a farm and dad used to train greyhounds, we had one named Samson a big brute of a dog with plenty of potential but just didn't have the killer instinct.

So to get him fired up and ready for a race we used to take him into the scrub where there were plenty of rabbits and let him chase till he got a kill.

Next time we took him to the races, he missed the start really bad but as he was so stirred up over his kill the day before, there was no way he was not going to catch and neck that bloody hare, so he jumped the fence and took a short cut straight toward the hare, hurtled the fence and snaffled the hare by the neck and bought him down.

The race was called off, dad was banned for 2 years, Samson hasn't been seen since, still running dad reckons, but gee he was pleased he finally got a bit of mongrel in him.

Now I'm not suggesting Dawes chases rabbits in the scrub, but perhaps you have a fringe player you could sacrifice for the good of the club.

Someone needs to shag his Mrs or something. I know he loves her dearly, and anyone who has heard the man talk knows he is a top bloke and gentle human being but no more Mr Nice Guy.

This won't work, we tried it with Samson and all he done was sniffed the bum of the intruder and waited patiently for his turn, thats what dads say anyhow, so I reckon the first suggestion is the best.

HTH, see you'se Wednesday and good luck.

Mate, that was the best laugh I've had for awhile. I have a 'fringe player' in mind but I am not going to articulate my selection. Thanks!! Good luck to you guys on Wednesday and may the best Anzac win.

Great post IRB. Lots of laughter to be had.

See you Wednesday!

Before anyone in the media realises how crap he is and starts to devalue him, trade him, trade him, trade him. That he is a forward alongside cloke is his saving grace atm. Everyone talk him up and then lets trade him. He kills me whenever he drops a gettable mark. Ivy league rich kid, he'll survive. Ben reid or nat brown goes forward for mine.

 

[Number 10]

Does the fact that he is still only very young for a kpp at 23 still play in his favour?

Also heard he is still struggling with his finger. Also his knees and an ankle are giving him problems.

 

[rose jam]

Buddy's a worse mark, gives away more frees, and can't ruck.

Dawes > Buddy

 

[Tbone McGraw]

There are 5 players that need to prove themselves this year. Dawes, wood, wellers, obrien and goldy. They are our mid range players.

I don't want to judge any of them yet as we are 4 games in but we will see how their seasons go.

Thanks guys, great to post on a board where a bit of humor is accepted & appreciated.

Malthouse just said Dawes Biggest Problem he Thinks to Much on the Ground.

Sounds like Dawes needs to hear the Legendary John Kennedy Speech

[Quicky]

He's having a much better game today and it has everything to do with being cleaner with his hands. Hes not spilling chest or overhead marks. If he can start kicking straight again he's be pretty valuable.

he is trying his guts out,cant ask for more than that

I just realized how we release the mongrel in Dawes.

We put Hamish McLachlan near his dog

That'll get Dawesy fired up

 

[eddiebankbalance]
