Nick Lower at a good club would be a good player. Unfortunately has has been unlucky to be involved with Port Power and Freo .... two shit clubs who would not recognise a good footballer from a ham sandwich !

I'll have you know that Freo are a powerhouse. Unbeatable at finals time!

Melb offer pick 20 and pettard for dawes.

Take it Pies. Bargain.

[Johno6]

pettard wont even get a game at the pies

The Herald Sun reports that Collingwood big man Chris Dawes will nearly double his pay packet with a change of clubs.

The newspaper says the key forward could earn as much as $500,000 a season with Melbourne, his preferred trade destination.

Half a million per season for Dawes????? Seriously!!!!! The world has gone mad......

[Johno6]

lets get the dart board out!!

**** if i was him i would go anywhere for double the money.


so what your trying to say is the price of potatoes has gone up?

Agreed. Pettard would go ok in a good team.

[Johno6]

i must be the only one who doesnt rate pettard

[MatteeG]

To be honest its hard to really rate him when he is never on the field! But what I've seen he is handy up forward. Nearly got the dees over the line against the pies in 2011 (from memory)

Melb offer pick 20 and pettard for dawes.

collingwood should take this just for the pick 20, which is more than Dawes is worth anyway!

[SDK]

One thing you can say about Dawes ... he is big and .... well he is big.
Pity he can't play !
Melbourne up to their old tricks recruiting duds.

[am Bays]

Matty Campbell wants out of North Melb (has requested a trade), add that to McIntosh looking for outskirts too, cultural issues at the Kangas too??

[CoverKing]

Campbell to be swapped for Jacobs possibly?

[test]

i must be the only one who doesnt rate pettard

Nah I don't rate him either, see how the "change of scenery" card works if he comes across. Don't blame Dawes for taking that kinda pay if Melbourne are silly enough to pay it. He'll only get in Mitch Clark's way....

Dawes > Nick Lower

Melb offer pick 20 and pettard for dawes.

i think Pettard has some up side if he can stay on the park and in what is touted as a very deep draft, think collingwood win out of this trade. The Dees forward line would look dangerous and exciting with Clark, Dawes, Pettard and Howe up there, will take a lot of pressure off Jack Watts if Dawes comes across but if i was Melbourne i would be keeping Pettard and offering a Bate or or Morton type

This.
If anything id offer up pick 20 and both Bate and Morton, list cloggers!

[Booney]

How many cups of coffee would the list management staff of all clubs drink over the 3 weeks of the trade period?

[Groover]

Would love for melbourne to give up on Dawes and maybe target someone like Edwards from north, probably pick him up alot cheaper and get the same result from him.

Agreed, Edwards is obviously bereft of opportunities at North. Although a little small for a focal point in the AFL, his form in the VFL in 2006 while at Frankston shows that he could be an asset.

Shane Ellens form in the lates 90's also indicates he could be an asset
