Chris Dawes?

Re: Chris Dawes?

Compared to other pick 21s, it's not actually that bad a deal.
He competes hard, hits packs hard and generally runs harder than any of our forwards did this year, even playing with a hand injury for most of the year.

I must admit I was against this when I first heard it, but the more I consider it the less I am against it. His figures aren't dissimilar to Drew Petrie at a similar age and he is certainly better than anyone we have on the list.

Meets the "quality person" criteria off-field as well.

Re: Chris Dawes?

If members of the WOOF community are as offended about the prospect of trading for Chris Dawes as they state they are on here, then I'd suggest they write an email to the club overnight expressing their outrage.

It's likely to be much more effective than having another throw-off on here.

Apart from spleen-cleansing, it won't achieve a thing.

Re: Chris Dawes?

Ugh. This has disaster written all over it. We don't need a tall forward. We need a good tall forward. Adding another battler to the mix won't give us much.

Re: Chris Dawes?

Robbo just tweeted. we are giving both pick 21 and 47 for Dawes.... I am losing faith in the football department very quickly.

I did.


I have been a member of the club for about 20 years and have never contacted the club before about any issue.

I am writing this email to express my hope that the club doesn't use our pick 21 on Chris Dawes.

I have seen the club recruit 2nd and 3rd string forwards with regular monotony over the years.

They never work out. They never change the clubs fortunes. They never 'deliver'.

By trading Brian Lake we have heard the message loud and clear that the club is rebuilding for long term success.
And one benefit of trading Brian was an upgrade from pick 27 to 21.

So PLEASE use the pick on a kid in the draft. PLEASE.

I will be seriously disillusioned with the club if it goes through with the Dawes deal.

I can handle pain while there's hope.
I can't handle mediocrity.

Yours Sincerely.

Yep word from the twitter guys is that the Dawes for picks 21 and 47 will be announced tomorrow....oh dear oh dear oh dear. Why is the McCartney era reminding me so much of the rhode era?

Re: Chris Dawes?

So 24 hrs ago the club boasted about 6 picks inside the top 50!
So they blink 24 hrs later!
Simply pathetic to be honest

I really want McCartney to be successful, but I am getting the impression as each day passes that this whole thing is going sideways quickly.
I will refrain from expressing my dismay any further, lest my negativity make any others sad.

What happened to "building from within"
Trying to be positive, but its getting impossible!!

Sir, you are a God.

Bartlett was delisted on the verge of greatness.

Seems like you make a habit of this with your Jack Redpath bangwagon now

I'm not sure Dawes will command the best key back, perhaps he'll get the biggest but not the best. I'm 50/50 on whether opposition coaching staff will view Jones as more a threat and put a McPharlin on Jones and a Dawson on Dawes (for example). Certainly Jones is a better mark, more athletic and has more immediate improvement in him than Dawes.

So we were all worried about pick 21 for Dawes and we up the anti with 47 as well!! Please tell me it is all a bad dream..... 11 losses on end maybe death is upon the club very soon.

Feel free to send a PM my way, we could be on the same page.

Perhaps save the maudlin stuff until it's announced at least!
