On 18 approaching half time. I warned you guys.
you didn't warn me.
FMDT another score under 2000
Point me to the thread where you warned people Q?
"Good Luck. However, as I've said multiple times to say - Don't be upset if Dawes doesn't perform."
"Yes but don't be shocked if he has a bad game anytime soon."
"It'll take many more good performances from Dawes for him to get into my team"
Thank God (and thank Q) that I went with Tapscott.
early days
Because he is doing soo bad. 71 start of last quarter. Thank god you warned everyone.

HAHAHA this is prettttttty hilarious. Especially coming from someone who is 'ultra establilshed'.
Master Q got me Curnow. Legend

Very true. Him and his fro would want to turn it on like Curnow did to avoid omission after the bye. Seriously its like an organic helmet.

Q looks good with pie on the face!
Yer Curnow n Dawes look good with 3 games of around 100 under their belt. We'll see how they go
Had him since day dot pretty happy with his 99 in DT. Go Dawesy! It was a tough match to begin with and if you can still score 99 under pressure against rivals to me that is a keeper. Get real Q.
Do you want a forward who scores 99 - with all of those points pretty much being junk time points?
Still hasn't really improved himself yet.
Plus, 1 wrong out of 1 billion - That's a good record.

1- majority weren't in junk time. He had a great quarter 3 when the blues were mounting a comeback.
2- Dane swan was the junk time king last night.
3- ur in denial hahaha

idc where the points come from id take 99 from a fwd under 300k every game of the year...
At least he had the guts to speak his mind.
yeah righto Q!
Dawesy is a gun plain and simple
Players that always get junk time points are the best for DT.
1 in 1 billion? Hardly.. Consistently bad more like it lol

First question on ask master q on Friday will be "so how many points did Dawes score last week??".
Q, for a bloke that's been on this website for so long, the timing of this thread was just poor, particularly when the bloke in question ha scored well lately and the fact that he is a forward in a good team who if collingwood ever runs away with the game e will most likely do well in "junk time"
"At least he had the guts to speak his mind."
Just like to put this out there. At least I'm out there on Friday 30 Minutes before lockout giving good advice (most of the time).
I'm looking forward to the next few weeks when Dawes will have shockers and all of you will start crying and wanting to trade him out.

I hope you're right and/or that Tapscott outscores him. Otherwise I'll be fuming that I didn't go with my gut.
You can't judge it like that. Tap is a rookie (a good rookie I'll add, and will come close to Dawes) Dawes is not. You made a lot of cash going to Tap and you can use that towards an upgrade somewhere else.
lol

And I could've got a keeper in Dawes straight away (or at least a great stepping stone). So, instead of making an upgrade elsewhere, I could've had a premium already...
Seems like I've made the wrong move but we'll have to wait and see.
Tapscott isnt the 'wrong' move, but it may not have been the 'best' move ;)
She'll be right mate

Dawes needs to score 30 more points than Tap in the next few weeks for it to be a bad move
Like I think Q has said, Dawes is a short term fix, where as Tapscott will be better in the long term making more cash, which will help you get a player that can be much better the Dawes.
Stop making premature comments. No one knows for certain, most of this is stupid.
I disagree Chrisuzz, Dawes looks like a keeper this season. In his fourth year, getting a good supply with a big body, can take a mark, tackle and kick goals. He will avg 85-90+ IMO, which is a keeper avg down fwd. He is better of getting dawes over tapscott if dawes turns out to be a keeper because thats two less trades.
Player x -> Dawes (keeper)
vs
Player x -> Tapscott
Tapscott -> rookie a (new starter)
rookie b (cow already on his list) -> Keeper X
yehh true i see your point there Bluke, butlike Spite said we can only wait ;)

What are you talking about, Dawes has scored me 340 points in 3 rounds and he's under 300k.
Although it's premature, one quarter in and I'm really regretting picking Tapscott over Dawes.
From now on I will always go with my gut.
Well done to the guys who got Dawes, has been in a great form. Probably monster the Tigers next week also.
ALMOST traded Jurrah for Tapscott. This makes me happy
almost a powerman barlow thread lmao ;D

Cost me my league win too :(
Could be a good move in the long run, but for now it has bent me over and had its way with me.

You did think that Tap would never outscore Dawes on his own this round right?
Of course I didn't think Tap would outscore Dawes. Just shattered that the difference in scores would've been enough to make me win my league game instead of lose.

even with hindsight i would make to move to tap over dawes. If dawes somehow keeps his average above 90 + he will be good but any less and he isnt really a keeper. in my team i like to have 85+ min average for my forwards and backs and 100+ for my mids. If dawes doenst average the 85 , which i dont think he will i would find that a bad pick as i would prbably end up upgrading him.

dont look at it like that. tapscott will hopefully supply you the cash for someone better then dawes.
Dawes will avg enough to be a keeper
Um, I don't understand all this criticism of Dawes.. Pretty sure Collingwood look a class above everyteam this season (so far), and I don't see them slowing down (although other teams may catch up a bit)..
Regardless, Dawes has a body built for AFL and the regular and good delivery to him by the collingwood mids should be enough for him to score enough.
Thats MY opinion.
And while on the subject of Dawes v Tapscott... Dawes SHOULD score more than the kid. Dawes has games under his belt, plays in a more consistent team and has good hands. Im not saying, Tapscott isnt a good pick (I have him), but having Michael Barlow expectations of rookies is stupid - but if it happens, its a bonus.
+1 Slap
Its also worth mentioning that Dawes is getting his tons without kicking bags of goals. Only three on the weekend. Which is a bloody good sign, cause if he can put home 5 or 6 that means he is capable of 140+ scores.

Also, I watched the game on friday night and Cloke was getting all the delivery in the first half. I'm not sure whether Dawes wasn't presenting well enough and as enough as Cloke, but he never saw the ball. The fact that he was down and out, and managed to claw his way back to 100ish score is a very good sign, in MY eyes anyway.
I noticed someone called it junk time, I don't remember who and I can't be bothered scrolling back through this convo, But, Junk time or not, a score is a score. I'd prefer a player that got junk time and got 100, rather than stay on 50 for the game.
Also, I don't think Dawes was an accurate description of Junktime, unless Junktime started midway through the 3rd qtr.
Some people on this site use the term junktime very loosely.

That's what I'm saying. If he really wanted to win his game he could of used the extra money. It's got nothing to do with just going with your guts and that my idea was the wrong one.
I appreciate everyone's thoughts and opinions and I hope you're right! Sorry if I seem very disagreeable, Dream Team has been flowering me over too much this season and I'm very frustrated.

Stick with the system and believe, every league has a guy with a good team and no wins at this stage of the year. If your plan is solid the wins will come. And remember it's supposed to be FUN!
Haha, very true! I'm yet to crack the 2000 yet this season, which is just awful. But my team should and will get there.
