Calm down Lliam

He's taller than Corr, Logue and Pink. Why do people keep spreading this myth that he's undersized?

bodywork and strength

 

[Joshen]

Was brilliant today. Love his closing speed and athleticism.

One of few who presented a short option when exiting D50 and his kicks were aggressive and on-point.

For someone who came advertised as a poor disposer, I've been pleasantly surprised.

Our best backman of the day in my opinion.

good call, definatey looked like he belonged, pretty good footballing hear on his shoulders.

Can't be too many blokes over 195cm in the league who move that fast

I just think he’s our best back man

Gets a tick, and his name plate welded to the whiteboard.

Nice game Kallan, developing nicely, has some nice strings to his bow.

Better than Corr today

He’ll look better again when we get some marking power in the back 6

Come on down Chom

 

[r_boy]

Bit more muscle while retaining his speed plus his kicking has improved about 5-10% and he just seems like a reliable defender now.

Loving the confidence to come off his man

 

[Jack Bradley]

We should have been playing him instead of that McKay last year

We should have been playing him instead of that McKay last year

We wanted to maximise the value we got for McKay's desertion

 

[blackshadow]

He’s coming along nicely.

Showed some really good signs, love that he likes to run and carry the footy.

Still a bit susceptible when reading the ball in the air, but plenty to work with.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

ridiculous athlete. so much to work with here

Anyone who watched the VFL last year knew he should've definitely been playing AFL - you have to ask wtf the selection committee were doing.

 

[Twangler]

Alongside Xerri, Dawson was probably the biggest positive of the day

Bit like being the B&F in Div 5. Nice title to have, but there’s plenty ahead of you

 

[Liam Boy]

He was outstanding today. Lock for the rest of the season. I really love the way he takes the game on, and he took some good intercept marks and made some good contests too. Solves a huge problem for us.

 

[amaz199]

Fantastic today. Hasn't really played a bad game since coming to the club.

He just goes and goes. Doesn't give in.

 

[The acurate one]

Loved his peeling off and impacting the contest.

I will be starting a Dawson V Magoo thread, cause I think we'll win it.

(Looks at Durrsma)
Yep, terrible decision last year, utterly terrible

 

[Sphynx]

He played like Scotty Thompson today.

Aggressive, willing to come off his man and showed wheels not many his size have.

He gets the entire season based on today.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Another I was impressed with at the ground and player his best game so far.
Had a lot to do, but did most of it very well.
All being well, he plays 23 games this year
