I thought I’d just jump in and say congrats to Lawson gettin picked up by the Cats. As a note he plays cricket for our local cricket club.
Lawson is my young son’s favourite footy player and we went to watch him play in the WAFL most weeks This season. Initially in the Reserves then in the League. He dominated in the reserves most weeks so we couldn’t understand why he wasn’t playing Seniors earlier. When he got his chance in the Seniors he played really well and was ave close to 20 possies a week. He played mainly back pocket and back flank and loves to go for a run and lay a hard tackle.
He also played in the Swans Dists Reserves grade WAFL premiership team as he was able to drop back after playing enough games early in the season, he did get knocked out in the last qtr of the GF but still played well in a more defensive role than his normal free running defender role.
His skills are great both sides of his body and will kick on his left if running left and kick on his right if running to his right - can kick at least 45m on either foot So not sure which one is natural!
He’s a real positive kid and I Really hope he goes well and has a great career.
Thanks for that. Sounds an interesting prospect.
