Welcome to North, Kallan Dawson




"Kallan is a 23-year-old key defender from Williamstown," he said.

"He’s played all this year down back in the VFL. He’s a good intercept mark, he’s put on 10-11 kilos in the last two seasons so he’s got his body ready for AFL footy.

"He’s got good speed, good judgement in the air and he’s been quite skilful and safe with the ball in hand."

Dawson was the only player selected by the Kangaroos after they opted to pass at their second selection (pick No.17).

Kallan Dawson

Dawson has emerged as one of the mid-season draft's most appealing key defensive options, having been granted a late AFL exemption to nominate. The 194cm Williamstown prospect has played his best footy as a third tall in the backline, where he's able to peel off and intercept. He's averaged 13 disposals and 6.9 marks per game in the VFL this year, while his speed has also made him a damaging rebounding threat. Set to turn 24 later this season, clubs view him as a ready-made defensive option.
