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

[TheMase]

Wasn't Jordan running water out in the NEAFL last weekend?

Yep!

 

[Swansujelly]

What was his issue/s?

 

[SwansProudly]

Wishing Jordan all the best for his first 2018 NEAFL game after all his quad issues.

 

[Punts]

Pumping him up the club are to be in the seniors by years end as an in side mid

 

[Tedeski]

Whatever the role I think he will be a regular soon enough.

 

[mtooler]

The great one has returned!

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Psssst. Awesome news. Looking forward to seeing him push for senior selection this year. Based on what we've seen already I'm fairly certain it's more a case of when, not if.

That’s a huge step up; from Casper the Ghost to JPK II in the space of a month or so

 

[SilentHunter_]

He better be the next great Swans mid because we definitely need one ASAP.

 

[grimlock]

I’ll just remind everyone of his NEAFL stats last year, playing predominant as an inside midfielder:

15 games
17 kicks, 11 handballs- 28 disp
8 Marks
5 tackles
4 inside 50, 2 rebound
2.47 goals ave (37 goals)

I don’t have clearance stats but I’d imagine it’d be 7-8+ per game.

Still has time to force his way in this year.

Clearances in 2017 avg 4.73

So, with Kennedy a chance to miss next week... re: Dawson, will we or won't we?

I would but it depends what they do with Jones. If he moves to the middle, my guess is they won’t and they’ll bring in Rohan. If they leave Jones, they will add Dawson and Rohan plays reserves.

Can almost guarantee it. Yesterday showed that it is so much better to play the young players who are playing well in the reserves than the older players who are either on a massive decline or are playing injured but I am not remotely confident that is the lesson Longmire will take out of the game.

 

[kickthething]

Given the form of Foote....( I know....right....).....it could be Horse reaches for him. His form last week was the best I have ever seen him play so it wouldn’t surprise if he went that way.

If they were to do something like that it would be Jones to midfield to replace Kennedy and Grundy in for Kennedy to go back to our usual defensive setup.

May also depend how long Kennedy is going to be out for. If one week they’ll probably do the above. If several weeks they might go to a Dawson or a Foote to give them an opportunity for an extended run.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

I think it's time for Dawson. Bring him in and put him in the middle.

 

[bungwahl]

We need more grunt in the middle and I don't see Jack offering that to us. I'd love to see Dawson get a few games to show what he can do.

With our entire midfield potentially missing next week, my strategies have moved from probable to silly. I'd contemplate adding Grundy to partner Aliir in defence, then letting Rampe/Marsh rotate through the middle. I have no solid basis for that theory, so let's bring Dawson in please.

 

[SwansProudly]

Love to see Dawson get a game.

 

[scaryness]

Been banging on about getting him in the team, time is now.

Nervous he will end up being just another NEAFL star though.

Ronke wasn't even a NEAFL star and yet when he got into the main team he is suddenly great.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

I haven't been able to watch much NEAFL this year but what I saw last year convinced me on Dawson. His injuries have been inopportune but I think he'll be a fantastic midfielder. He's strong and can play inside and out.

 

[scaryness]

Its time.
