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

[shinboner magic]

Should have really payed in Darcy against the dogs as Darcy uses his reach more than body strength.
This guy looks well placed to make it - reads it well , fearless and doesn’t back down to any task given to him.

Grand news this.

Reckon Hardeman will surprise a few next year and Will will will himself to great heights for us.

Hope we have plenty of cap space at the end of 2026, Will will need it.

 

[Themanbun]

Got big hopes for this guy

Extension implies both have done what was asked of them and more.

I heard over five years ago we thought Simpkin would one day be Cpt. I've already heard the same about Hardeman.

He’ll have to play till 35 as sheez will have it for a long time

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Really confident that Will can lock in a defensive spot as soon as next year and be a reliable stalwart for the next decade.

I think if I heard that correctly, Thursfield said Shotgun has put on 13kg since the start of last year!

F*rk!

 

[The Nostradamus]

Still think it’s ridiculous that we no longer have players weights listed publicly

What's your weight?

He’s going to be a monster.

 

[Samsquanch]

Any further news about the arm in a sling?

 

[HBFlanker]

If he has put on 13kgs that is an enormous change to a young body in a short amount of time. Id expect that amount to drop down once round 1 hits.

I would hope from the bye next year he is playing week in week out.

 

[footy2016]

He needs time to grow into his body. Realistically should not be playing senior football until 2026.

Let him develop and put together some games in the 2s as a key defender.

His body is not close to being able to mess with the big boys.

Is there anyone younger than him in his draft?

6 days off qualifying for this year's draft.

Two months out.

What happened to him?

That swing of 6 days.. if he was in this draft he would be a top 4 pick
