Think he is going to walk straight into Fremantles 22. For the record - just. this bloke is a liability and if your team is starting Dawson FB, your in trouble. No way should Collingwood pick him up.

God no.

Guy on SEN (? who) was implying he's a s**t bloke, that's why Saints let him go, whilst signing on the other five guys who are all very borderline players ( Polo, Dempster, McQualter maybe can't remember)

He mainly always handballs aswell, don't think his kicking is that good.

No way in the world would we want or need this guy...he'll be off to join Thanks Ross, at Freo
 
I heard this a couple of days ago and they said that Dawson knocked back an offer from St Kilda and joined Lyon at Fremantle for 300k a year

On 3AW tonight, they said he is walking straight to Freo....even went as far to say, "Ross Lyon thinks he is worth a million dollars (laughter)"

I needed a laugh after sanding a house down in sweltering Ipswich today and this one hits the spot nicely.

If you are after a bloke who holds and scrags well Dawson could be your man but you on no circumstance want to see the ball in his hands.:confused:

Yeah, gave me a laugh aswell!

For the record, looked up his stats the last two years

2010 5 kicks 6 handballs per game
2011 3.1 kicks 7.7 handballs a game

So it'd seem they told him don't kick it ... that's very much how it looked the games i saw...he looked to handball wherever possible, and when he did kick it you could often see why.

He never got a swag kicked on him though, so he does a few things right, mainly scragging I think.

If there's any rule changes for next year, scragging is the one needs attention the most urgently IMO, complete blight on the game - esp by rucks and FB's.

Thanks y'all....but if we want to run stats then anyone wins....

Tarrant (who I'd have first everytime) 4 1/2 kicks and 5.2 hands....not much difference. Just put it out there is all...the bloke is mobile and plays well above his weight.

Gerald Healy said that McPhee, Jack & Dawson will comprise $1.1 Million of their salary cap next year. Means that it's Port for Leon.

Rather funny.....but haven't been near a PC for a couple of weeks, hence the question about "Why"?

Deserved it. Everything in your OP beside the fact that Dawson has left St Kilda was wrong imo.


Fisher and Gwilt would be stoked Dawson is gone, they don't have to continually cover and play the third man up for him anymore.

St.Kilda made three grand finals with him in their side, very nearly beat us with him playing as well. Hardly what I would've called a team in trouble. He beat Cloke in both GFs.

He is nowhere near as bad as Bigfooty makes him out to be. In fact, he has actually played pretty well against us in recent times. His defensive work is solid to good, he gets out bodied a bit in 1v1s, but aerially he more than holds his own. Very effective at killing a contest. Obviously offers absolutely nothing going the other way though.

Not to say I endorse recruiting him though, I think between Brown, Tarrant, Reid and Keeffe we've got our bases covered down back.

Zac was an asset to every side he played against.

My favourite Zac memory is from GF Replay '10. Runs up to Trav before the game and starts his usual push 'n' shove and he's yapping away. Then the ball is bounced to start the game. Three seconds later Trav clunks the mark, Zac is 10 yards away then gets sent off for the blood rule. He must have hit his face on the massive amount of space he let Trav run in to. How I laughed. Good times. :D
