Player Watch #42: Kallan Dawson - Twomey reporting 1yr extension - Roo until end '24

[RossHenshaw]

Hope you prove us wrong, because there's a lot of us and we desperately need a good dashing KPD.

This is farked ….it’s almost like we are deliberately pressing the self destruct button….

Welcome aboard!!

Is this the bloke that got 6 kicked on him this last weekend ?

or is he the bloke that took 12 marks against a Casey side that included Majak? how 'bout we give him a go before getting the knife out

Souup's Sam Frost comparisons don't seem far off the mark.

I don't mean that as a good or bad thing. Frost does a good job most weeks, but he also has his limitations.

 

[Liam Boy]

I like the look of this guy. Everyone on here has been complaining about the lack of investment in young KPD options, now we've gone for one instead of taking best available (in the MSD no less) and it's melts all around?

 

[Groucho]

Gunna back him to the hilt now!! Until his second turnover...

 

[the flying ham]

Gee whiz some of you lot are miserable campaigners. Welcome Kallan, don't mind some of our sack of s**t supporters, plenty happy to see you get your chance. Good luck big fella

Go well Kallan, hope you notch up a 150 game+ career and win us a few games off your defensive efforts.

But bloody hell, what a NMFC pick, to pick the guy who injured himself on the weekend

Souup's Sam Frost comparisons don't seem far off the mark.

Agreed. Looks bang on.

 

[Souup]

Sort of telling that they don't show the result the kicks in this video. I can tell you I remember watching most of them and a majority end in turnovers.

If he needs to improve anything to make it, it's clearly his kicking.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

For the record I have a kmart fishing rod that I got quite cheap. Sure the tip broke and I've had to tape it together with another cheap broken kmart rod, but it's caught plenty of fish.

 

[Waynesworld]

I’ll preface this by saying I haven’t been following any of the draft prospects, but watching his highlights package looks like he has good pace, good hands and a good leap?

Welcome to North Kallan, and don’t worry we’ll coach those good traits out of you.

 

[Liam Boy]

He can keep #42 if he wants. Better than #14

 

[Gone north]

Straight in for L.Young and I couldn’t be happier

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Kicking issues aside, I like his leg speed, spoiling and marking, so there's something there. We haven't had a really fast KPD in a long while. Plus, he fills a direct need. I am more puzzled and annoyed by the freeing up Lynch's spot for nothing.

F*** me, your posting is so f***ing negative.

Have you ever seen this kid play? If not (which I'm sure is the case), why do you even have an opinion on him?

 

[the big lebowski]

I loved the chase down tackle in his highlights

Rolled ankle.

 

[Ligma]

Welcome Kallan, get your ankle strapped and get ready to go

It just seems like increadibly s**t list management.

We opted against a KPD last year in a year absolutely stacked with them. We opt out of the Rookie Draft and use it to shuffle salaries when someone like Charlie Dean (who was the best KPD in the VFL) is available.

Then we scramble to take a KPD when there some quality best available 19 year olds for the taking.

It’s just absolutely reflective of where we are at as a club at the moment, mismanaged and incompetent.

In saying that, this might be a master stroke, but I’m not holding my breath.

All VFL experts on here!

Can someone start the “Durdin vs Dawson” thread ?
I’m banking on Turdin being the better selection
