Dawson averaging 113 is one of those picks you either pay for or spend all season watching from the outside wishing you had.
The Numbers
113.0 SuperCoach average — 23.4 disposals, 4.7 marks, 0.7 goals, 7.4 tackles per game. At 28, still in his prime. Consistent output across multiple scoring sources.
His floor is what sets him apart. Even on a quiet day, Dawson rarely drops below 79.
Role & Opportunity
Adelaide Crows build their game plan around Dawson, and nothing we’re hearing from preseason suggests that changes. At $600,300, you’re paying a premium — but you’re paying for certainty.
From what we’ve seen at training, Dawson looks sharp. Moving well and managing his body smartly.
SuperCoach Verdict
Consider — talent is there, price needs justifying. At $600,300, the risk-reward favours selection.
Betting Angle
Dawson’s disposal line will sit around 23.5 — worth tracking early rounds when the market is still settling. Goal markets are interesting too given his dual-threat role.
