Player Watch #18: Wil 'Shotgun' Dawson - Extends to end of 2026

[StiffArm]

Thoughts with the big man. Did anyone see the incident? Hoping it's a short stint and he's back soon.

 

[bennymate]

Arm in a sling, didn't look good.

had it out during the song

Teake to come in to replace him.

This is always expected for a youngster.

 

[tazaa]

Is it the same shoulder he hurt earlier in the year?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Good on him for getting excited. What about his shoulder?

 

[Full Chooks]

If teakes comes in, no place for pink as in defense we are pretty good with corr comben dawson.

 

[The Warlord]

Seeing that 18 with all the shoulder strapping on a big frame ...

 

[lockheed]

Seeing that 18 with all the shoulder strapping on a big frame ...

Not a good memory.

Like everyone else here, hope that the injury is somehow only minor.

 

[Twinkletoes]

had it out during the song

Yeah, there was much to celebrate, but what about his arm?

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

What happened, I missed the incident,
I was watching at work but was in and out. Hopefully it wasn’t a dislocation.

Seemed that it was the 1st qrt bump in the middle of the ground. Stayed on for a bit, and even rucked but didn’t seem to be able to move his left arm much

I wouldn’t mind seeing Pink in more of a loose defender capacity if we are bringing Teake in to cover CHF.

Pink needs to stay in, just to piss off Nostra

 

[The Nostradamus]

This bloke isn’t ready for afl yet but was good to get some game time into him which should give him a good preseason to work on deficiencies

 

[muttley45]

Hope he doesn't require a reconstruction, i remember him colliding with that Harry Edwards early in the 1st Q, his taped shoulder taking the force of the impact, they are both about the same height, but Wil is 5 years younger and probably 12-15kg in arrears, best wishes for a good result.

 

[shinboner magic]

Might of been just an ac joint - hopefully just a few weeks

If teakes comes in, then pink will be out.

But teake doesn't look like he is afl ready yet, need more time.

Pink is doing pretty good for his role as a pseudo 2nd key fwd.

 

[DuckYeah]

Coming here to say that.. 2 weeks

 

[the big lebowski]

This guy is massive.

His body looks like he’s 26-27.

Sure his face gives his age away, but imagine him in 5 years time.

 

[giantroo]

"Had surgery last night and will probably miss 4-6 weeks".

 

[StiffArm]

Thanks for the info.

"Had surgery last night and will probably miss 4-6 weeks".

While it's a blow, at least it isn't a shoulder reco.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

This guy becomes perhaps the most important piece in the rebuild. If he can fill out and perform well up forward then most of the pieces (minus small forward) will be in place.

Robbie Hansen has been looking better, too
