Roast WTF Dawes!

[burtpies]

I Know we had a lot of down players tonight no doubt but WTF is a player doing in AFL football who can NOT repeat NOT take a make overhead or in his hands. So many times in the past matches Dawes just put his hands where he thinks the ball might hit them. They are not even in the right position I'd rather Leigh Brown up there and hope his kicking lasts at lest leroy can take a grab. AS for Jack mmmmmmm no comment.
YES this is a rant and you can comment all you like about what I've said but the one thing I've always said is that Dawes is not up to a key forward spot, he is, I won't say useless but he is flawed.
We missed Medders tonight as well as Leon and Dick.
NOT HAPPY

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

He was ok i thought, provided a contest and kicked a couple.

Wasn't in our worst for sure.

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't help when the friggin midfield bombs it in 3 vs 1 every single time with no one crumbing.

No wonder football players have the "dumb" tag applied to them, we did it against Geelong and Saints too.

Delivery is key. Can't believe it's taking these guys so long to figure out this part of the gameplan.

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

Dawes, Anthony and Cloke played well for the limited chances they had to kick goals... If your going to pick on someone pick on....O'bree he was garbage

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

Seriously guys do you watch the games we play in or do you nod off for quaters at a time. Dawes has not taken an overhead mark yet this year. If he is to play that strong marking fwd position he needs to do this, or bring it to the front of the pack, neither of which he does and if you have missed this OPEN your eyes and watch the game.

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

If there is one thing i learned about Dawes, then it's that he can't mark under pressure.

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

Are we going to have a new thread each week with someone discovering Dawes can't mark overhead? We know, he knows, even my Mum knows. It's frustrating to watch him, and it's a big flaw, but I think it's something we have to live with, and hope he somehow improves a bit, or can just improve his other areas to a good level, so he earns a game despite his weakness. Did some nice things tonight.

Obviously the only people who don't know is the collingwood small forwards who refuse to get front and cente to every contest that he participates in. I still havent seen him been outmarked

If we use this as the "excuse", it then needs to hold true for all of our key forwards- Jack and Cloke included because they were receiving the same delivery.

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

The delivery was a joke but at the same time we seriously need to
do something to improve this team because if he won't we will be in the same boat as last year just a pretender that plays well when it doesn't count or doesn't prove anything

Agree and we need to Persist because Long Term we have not much else

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

i'd put him above both trav and JA tonight as our best forward

He needs to take those overhead marks though...weakness or not, it will be his downfall if he cant get it right

Very Good Post but can you name any other Young KPF we have?

 

[Go_collingwood_]

Re: Wtf dawes!!!!!!!!!

Seriously the guy needs a perfect delivery on his chest to mark the footy tho.... So what if he doesn't get out marked coz at the end of the day his not marking the footy either

seems like we are getting no where real fast this year again

No its a brilliant question...i dont want him dropped, we need to persist with him because thats what it takes for these blokes to get better.

And unless (dare i say it) Rusling can string games together at FF, or decide to make keefe into a forward, were not exactly spoilt for choice.

Its times like these where you kinda wish Fraser was a competent forward
