Chris Dawes?

Re: Chris Dawes?

I'd hate to be on poor money like that .

I know what you mean, in footy terms its above average wage. Being a kpp, he can get about $500k (he is not worth that however supply demand comes into it)

Re: Chris Dawes?

Dawes would be around about $350k per year at the smaller clubs needed a bigger body up forward.. Still, I hope we dont throw any more at him as I think Pick 21 is more then enough and am not willing to give him $500k per year.. I wouldnt mind Dawes but think he is after way too much.. After 2 years at Melbourne he will most likely want to come to us anyway when we are on the rise and they are still bottom 4...

Melbourne will bounce back up the ladder before us - they are collecting senior players whilst we pin our hopes on the draft which is always a much longer process (if the process works at all).

Haven't the Dees offered pick 20 and the Pies have not accepted as they want more (maybe another pick). Thus we will require more than pick 21. We should just walk away from trading for Dawes.

Re: Chris Dawes?

Great work if you can get it.
Has a shocking season, yet gets a pay rise!
Nearly 500 per year! Staggering

It remains to be seen if Melbourne bounce back quicker than we do in adopting this approach. I would prefer our approach even if success might be a little longer coming.
You would imagine that the sort of money Dawes is going to get at Melbourne as has been stated would probably see him getting more than a Boyd or Griffen, which is unrealistic.

Why is everyone so concerned about what players are on?

I think good on Melbourne.

They tried the path of getting many early draft picks and getting rid of senior players and that didn't work. Now they want some success after not playing finals for 10 years. Who can blame them.

It finally comes down to whether Melbourne has the right coach and administration in place. I still believe our future looks brighter.

Re: Chris Dawes?

Think Melbourne might bounce up the ladder but only for 1-2 seasons then drop short.. As for our approach may see us up there for a few more years.. hopefully

This must mean that Dawes is a superior warrior to Lake.

24 yo vs 31 yo

2 x All Australian coming off good year vs out-of-favour whipping boy who never established his position in the first 18.

And who has been replaced by 30 yo Eagle.

Re: Chris Dawes?

I believe it's a done deal to Melbourne so I suppose we have a good look at Gumbleton

I think it's got more to do with Lake walking next season than anything else.
