[Didcos435]

there is an interview on the Pies webpage with him and a pic. He looks damn good in that pies guernsey. He reeks of a player

[ad4eva]

yep, i will write a piece on dawes to add to this thread and for nicks...

the thing that stands out for me is he averaged 8 marks a game, which included 4.1 contested marks per game... the rest uncontested

now i know people dont like this comparison being used so freely but that stat is jonathon brown like

[stik35]

Eddie introduced him at the AGM.
I was most impressed with his maturity and the way he spoke.
He is very keen to repay the faith they showed in picking him up with his knee injury.

So far no "yeah nah, ummm" which is common for a lot of players. (but give it time. )

10 weeks more on the sidelines for Chris according to the Sun and Age. Doing more and more training every week by the sounds of it, cant wait till he can get out there for Willy.

cant wait to see this bloke play wish they would give him a better number though , 3 will do nicely.

He and Medhurst both walked past me outside the ground today both all suited up I have to say he looks VERY good in a Collingwood suit lol

There's some more stearling proof of your intelligence there Dave-the kid is ATLEAST 10 weeks away!He's got an ACL injury!And he hasn't even debuted yet,so how could we have him back in the team?

"stearling" ?

What's that saying about people who live in glass houses ?

[Dave The Man]

How is he going at training at the Moment?

[ad4eva]

Dawes is coming along very nicely and if all goes to plan he will slot in the Williamstown line up by seasons end.

His knee is healing very very well from all reports and is on the track with the boys.

Not long now till Dawesy his playing some footy in full flight.
