Re: Dawes - Contract Status?

In the mean time Waite retires in 2 years, Dawes (now 25 at the peak of his career) and Mitchell/McCarthy have developed along with Jamo, Hendo and Watson?

Dawes just turned 23.

Dawes just turned 23.

I think that was exactly his point.

Re: Dawes - Contract Status?

Yep front page in the Age tomorrow.

He would have a very big value, if we had other prospects in the VFL I wouldn't be opposed to hearing offers and seeing if something extraordinary came up.

However behind Dawes there is daylight in our KPF ranks, we cannot afford to lose him, hopefully we tie him up ASAP!

If we get a first round pick (thats what it would take) we then have a solid bargaining chip...we can cover him, O'Keefe is developing, N Brown back next year etc... if we get a O'Meara type (dont know if thats how you spell it) then we cant lose, Dawes at best straightens up our forward line, but you need to make changes to keep evolving...

Re: Dawes - Contract Status?

Only way I could see us being prepared to trade him would be for O'meara whom Hine rates highly. That said I doubt we do want to trade him and I doubt that Dawes would want to go to GWS.

Melbourne might think they are a shot as they have Neeld whom Dawes knows but if we can get around the money he will stay.

nice one.

I don't consider Dawes untradeable. One of N.Brown, Tarrant or Reid could play in his spot next year, they can't all play in their preferred spots. Keefe isn't useless. Omeara would be worth it by the sounds.

Well No Player you would say is Un-Tradable.

Tarrant only has 2 seasons left tops and we have no Back-Up Big Strong KPF we can use unless we put Witts there

Good news about Dawes

"The premiership team is always going to change each year in terms of personnel, [but] I'll be here next year, which I'm looking forward to," Dawes said.

"I reckon, with the group we've got, we've got the ability to win a few flags or at least compete for them so that's really exciting and makes this club an exciting place to be."

Re: Dawes - Contract Status?

Of course he is going to re sign, he is a man of his word, unlike some Melbourne and Geelong past players.

Re: Dawes - Contract Status?

Good news but yeah, he wasn't in doubt. Another article on it as well:

"Yeah I will be here," Dawes said today.

"I have made the comment before that I reckon you leave a footy club if you are not happy at the club or you are not getting a game. For me money shouldn’t be a factor in that. And I am happy."

Just burst out laughing in the middle of an operating theatre...then had to explain that I couldn't explain why.

Mind you, funny as you are, I don't think I need the mental imagery of the big champ going a quick one off the wrist!

No I think his manager is trying to get the most he can for Dawes which is what a manager should do and Dawes is just playing a straight bat.

I don't Blame the Manger at all trying to get as much for Chris as Possible but Chris said he would play for a Small Wage

Yeah, I don't think he's done his manager any favours with that one haha! They might have a talk about it fairly soon I'd think!
