Chris Dawes?

Re: Chris Dawes?

Apparently Dawes will be naming his preferred club today. My money is on Melbourne

Now I'm going to sit by the computer for the rest of the afternoon HobDog.


I'm all in on Melbourne as well.

Re: Chris Dawes?

We were very close in drafting Buddy but didn't get him. It's history now but who knows how things might have turned out if we had Buddy in our side during the years we were challenging for a premiership. With Dawes I'm not to fussed if we don't pick him up and would much rather focus on the draft which looks very exciting this year.

I wasn't aware of this. Haven't read anywhere that we had Buddy on our hitlist....just knew that we rated Griffen No 1 that year.

I'm not sure exactly where I heard it from but apparently we had the opportunity to pick up Franklin in the draft.

Agree reasonably sure Scott Clayton was quoted to say if we had the number 1 pick that year he still would have gone Griffen.

Yeah we did and passed on him. It may have been spin but they said they would have taken Griff at #1 so according to what's been said in the media Franklin wasn't considered ahead of Griffen.

Heard this too, Melbourne get Dawes and Ray, Collingwood get picks, St Kilda Martin and picks... of course still rumour mill stuff

HaHa! Well he's on the west coast of the US (currently almost 10pm) and they said he'd decide tonight.

Yes we did...if we hadn't selected Griffen. Considering we took Williams at 6 straight after Hawthorn took Buddy at 5...then technically yes, we were very close to drafting Buddy I guess.

Re: Chris Dawes?

Emma Quayle has just tweeted that Dawes has chosen Melbourne.

Not sure whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be disappointed.

EDIT: also confirmed by his manager Ben Niall on Trade Radio.

Eastdog, you can't say we were close, we chose to pick Griffen, Richmond chose to pick Deledio and Tambling and even Hawthorn chose Roughy all before Franklin
