      It will be his first game, first goal, and first flag.
      I keep trying to tell myself Horse is saving him as a secret weapon, but I know it's not true. Let's hope 6:25 brings great joy to the Dawson lovers here (me included)

        Alternate strip theory suggests not many (if any) changes. Dawson, Florent, Aliir, Foote, Robinson, Cunningham all seen in alternate strip from gallery of today's training.

          Let's see how the hypothesis holds up tonight?

            I think Hannebery's season has been interesting. Even though his form has been pretty good over the last couple of months, he's playing a different role. I don't think he's running nearly as much as in past seasons and certainly his disposal count has been well down. But he's laying more tackles, and I think his kicking has been much better too - possibly because he's not as fatigued as in past seasons. The change could be natural progression or tactical change, or could indicate he is carrying something that is preventing him running as much. (Some kind of groin soreness was speculated over a few weeks ago.) I think we have more players capable of running hard on the outside now, which reduces the reliance on Hanners doing this all the time.
            I believe he has OP.

                    Case of mistaken identity

                    Our emergencies are Foote Laidler Robinson. So Laidler for Aliir in the emergencies. Their emergencies are Ibbotson Griffin Collins

                    Interesting they brought Taberner a tall forward in without dropping a tall. So they are likely to go in with four tall forwards - McCarthy Kersten Cox in addition to Taberner

                      Dockers have nothing to lose by throwing the kitchen sink at us on Sat, including getting reported.
                      Hope there's no 'we've won this already ' mindset for this one.

                        None of those four are particularly imposing as key forwards, McCarthy maybe.

                        Dawson not on the emergency list so he'll get a full game in the curtain raiser. Neutral umpires is nice, don't know any of them so they can't have done damage to us that I've noticed.

                          Four not particularly damaging tall forwards? Perhaps they're trying to lull us into an apathetic sense of over confidence? But hey, since my confidence levels have no bearing on the result, I'm changing my prediction from Swans by 60, to Swans by 80.

                            On SEN today they were talking about players who played a lot of reserves footy before seniors. Tuck and Doull 60 games. The fact Dawson re signed tells me that they think he is not ready. A big pre season maybe gets him to the physical condition he needs.

                              Amazing that Tuck played so many reserves games given that he was, until recently, the games record holder at senior level!
                              All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

                                They were different days back then with the three grades, I think Dipper also played a huge number of reserves games for the Hawks too. On the other hand the odd kid got thrown to the wolves, think Tim Watson played senior footy before his 16th birthday.

                                Some players are too good to play twos, Mills and Heeney being good examples but on the whole I like the idea of the kids that get drafted, and they are still only kids, doing some time in the twos. It prepares them physically and I also think they are emotionally better equipped when they are a bit older.

                                Making Dawson wait until next year, and really making him earn it, won't do him any harm at all IMO. He'll be pumped for a big pre-season I'd say
