Player Watch #18: Wil 'Shotgun' Dawson - Shotty wins first game in NMFC colours vs WCE but suffers shoulder inj. in 1st q

[Masked Avenger]

Poor kid, it's kind of like getting sex education by being shown hardcore pornography.

Then pushed through a door where there's cameras and lights set up.

"You'll be right son".

We're only playing Essendon.

 

[Masked Avenger]

Talk about throwing him to the wolves, a 100 point loss in front of 50k Essendon flogs isn't the game to debut him in.

Poor kid.

He's a Gippsland boy. They breed them pretty tough. We could do with a few more.

Woodchoppers - " Axemen, ready...1....2...."

 

[big_e]

Wouldn't it be so good if King Carey gives him the number 18 jumper

Given the current environment in the AFL, I doubt we'll see Wayne Carey in an official capacity for a while.

Wonder what Shaun Atley is up to these days....

Hey not all Gippslanders are wood choppers

 

[Disco Dew]

Hey not all Gippslanders are wood choppers

But all wood choppers are gippslanders…

Poor kid.

That hasn't happened since 2022

 

[ChairmanZia]

Pretty good inclusion. WD plays defense plus 2nd ruck. Perhaps if lucky, he might even be able to chop out in the fwd line.

We had a good one, he went to Essendon!

Go well Wil - confident that in a couple of years the rest of the league will go what a player this wil Dawson is.

Good effort by Bill Berry to sneak in a dozen games before heading back to record Life's Rich Pageant.

Wonder what Shaun Atley is up to these days....

The Scott brother were taking turns polishing Taryn’s knob the other week so you never know.

 

[jay317]

Season's been hell, but these debuts have been gold

 

[apollo_creed]

Dick Day… a few juvenile jokes in there. Holding back lads, I’m holding back.

 

[Hojuman]

I went to ALL of Wolfgang's games l'm pretty sure. Mum being a German immigrant thought he was marvellous !

Geez- Brad Smith ( now, he was built like a brick outhouse, shoudda played more ) Mario Turco.

 

[ChairmanZia]

This is where we need to model best practice from syd. What role will dawson play?

We cant just let him play and hopefully he comes good.

Why is him in the team? Perhaps to play 2nd ruck plus mostly in defense?

Is there potential for him to be able to play fwd? He is only 18, so a lot of development to go.

When we put players in the right position they will thrive, just look at sheezal wardlaw mcckercher, so very promising.

 

[Psi-Roos]

Is he a teenager yet?

Hopefully the start of a long career.

 

[DuckYeah]

We're only playing Essendon.

They’re 4 fifths of **** all. Piss ants

 

[DuckYeah]

Hey not all Gippslanders are wood choppers

Then you’re not a gippslander!

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Is he a teenager yet?

Hopefully the start of a long career.

Still 18.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Go well big fella! Love that from his mum. Almost like Friday night lights "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" lol

 

[Kanga Glory]

Then you’re not a gippslander!

Please

 

[DuckYeah]

Please

How many acres you got? If you have acres, you chop wood
