Why the hate for Dawson? He played in a back six that was almost inpenetratable in 09 and again excellent in 2010. He did his job week in week out. Was not the most talented player but did what was asked of him. Walked when offered about $100k more than the Saints could offer. Many hailed Ball as b...

Do you reckon he'll be trying to wear him like a condom?

he walked the wanker

How does someone "walk the wanker"?

Is it the same as Lyon's strut?

For others it's like walking the planker but as Zac is such a wanker he does it differently

Mini isn't soft, but he wasn't holding tackles consistently enough for a defensive forward by the end. Greatest strength was his pin-pointing of a target inside 50. He never got the bloody ball! Im amazed we got in the finals with all these apparent hacks we had and also a poor game plan and coach....

Kosi has 10 times the ability that Dawson has

In all fairness, he is not a good fullback whether St.Kilda needed him or not. A good full back is Scarlett, actually he is great and Dawson is light years away in ability. It's got nothing to do with Dawson's character but a lot to do with his inability as a footballer, he is actually a crap fullb...

Not sure about next year but I still think ferguson can be the one if he can get fully fit. As for next year I think Siposs shows the most class out of our youngsters but he does play in a very hard position. We are due for someone to come out of no where. We havent had many if any for years. Steve...

Seriously?

Thought that his willingness to tackle, put his body in a contest was one of his strengths.

When did he get near enough to an opponent to tackle them?

Yep two of our three softest players have now moved on in McQualter and Dawson. The only one left now is Gram.

What is that actually based on?

Performance

Must be in bed because I havent seen it on a footy ground.

Correct

Keep it in your pants people. I put him in the Gamble class. This time last year SS was almost viewing Gamble as the saviour (the 3rd fwd we need rah rah rah). Great VFL/WAFL. Not quite AFL. No real position. A bit of almost everything but ultimately a nothing player at the top level. Hope Im wrong...
