Past Jordan "I don’t think Sydney fans should be nervous at all" Dawson: Grand Theft Completed, traded 2021 to Adelaide

[ashep]

I understand the feelings towards Dawson, particularly given the way his camp strung us along, but I'm torn on booing returning players.

I was pretty disgusted in the grandstand when our crown booed Jetta - a premiership player! - pretty heartily his first game back.

I must be in the minority who doesn't miss him and doesn't think he's performing any differently than when he was with us...

Watching Blakey eases the pain a fair bit.

Maybe it's just me but I'd rather cheer for our players rather than worrying about booing the opposition

I don't get the J Mac hate. He doesn't need to be dominating to be useful. Does enough imo. He reads the game well and constantly finds the link up on the wing. It's only the odd ball use issue that's been apparent of late.

I'm a tad disappointed because earlier this year he seemed to be right on the cusp of becoming a genuine A grader only to regress a little. That's on me though because I have very high expectations for him.

I completely agree though, he's been fine and should be nowhere near a discussion about being dropped.

Those games were against North Melbourne and West Coast though...

I think he's just a kid who has struggled with injury and form. He won't be the first young player to do so and he won't be the last, but due to lack of competition for his spot, he's safe in the 22 every week.

In terms of football only

What a fool.

 

[scaryness]

he can come back whenever he wants though

I don't think there is any doubt we would be a better team right now with Dawson in it.

hypothetical
and no point dwelling on it

not denying his ability
just sick of this sort of "argument"

 

[GoTheSwannies]

As long as we go all the way it doesn't matter that Dawson is no longer with us, or whether he would have made us a better team.

Sliding doors stuff. We'll never know. He made his choice.

He is probably doing his barista course. Plans to open a cafe. Like Mitchell, he has other priorities. I have no problem with that. Now.

Agreed - that’s how we win the trade.

Like Cats in 2011 post Ablett and Hawks 2014 post bud. A flag renders every previous decision/permutation/fiasco perfect

Correct...and also adds the bonus that those who choose to leave the best club there is on their own accord will rue their decision.

It’s ok Judas. We’re not nervous anymore.

Well said. My cousin whose a diehard League fan and has never followed AFL put it well during a family argument regarding the Adam Goodes saga.

He said something alone the lines of "I go to the football to support my team, I couldn't give a single * about the opposition."

Pretty much, cheer your side but honestly I couldn't care less about the opposition much.

Jordan Nostradamus Dawson. Well he was right. There really was no need for us to be nervous at all since he departed.

I mean, I’d still love to have him in the team this weekend. But winning a GF would definitely help me get over it.

I’m pretty sure Jordan knew that Sydney were a chance at a flag and we’d probably be in the bottom six when he made his choice. He made it for money and to come home, I’m sure he’s happy to see you guys do well.

So would most Crows fans too, the Swans play great footy to watch and it’s always good to see a GF without the big Melbourne clubs.

 

[Millky95]

Dawson would have been an AA half back or wing if he stayed with us

But the best thing about Dawson leaving was it allowed/forced us to try Florrent at half back and that has been amazing for us

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I will say though, Dawson would have been handy last game with Reid going down as he was always a great target out of the back 50, and could have pushed forward and took marks up the ground and delivered it into our f50, and also would have been handy cover if Reid doesn't get up for the GF.

With that said, as Milky pointed out, we've restructured without him in the team and have been able to cover his loss, while uncovering other strengths we already had within the team.

Win win if we win.

Wasn’t there a decent chance Reid was gone if Dawson stayed? Swings and roundabouts

Dawson must be sitting back in his new home with not a care in the world. Happy as.
