The original post does refer to 2007, but anyway just because he made one AA squad three years ago doesn't mean he's good now.

Can Leon Davis nominate for the draft or PSD?
Hi Mitch. How's Melbourne?
Either/or/both.
He can nominate for the ND. If not selected he would automatically be nominated for the PSD as a result.
Alternatively, he can just nominate for the PSD.

We can probably safely discount the ND possibility. For him to nominate for that draft, Collingwood would need to delist him and I doubt they will do that in time. They will hang on to him for as long as they can in the hope of bringing him back.

Leon's manager has confirmed that Davis will never play for the Pies again.
No chance of reconciliation

No need to. He'll go through the PSD.

If he goes in the PSD, don't you reckon Gold Coast, Melbourne or Richmond would pick him up before the Dockers get a chance?
Salary cap permitting of course.

Urqs has difficulty finding his own footy and has been very inconsistent with injuries playing their part. His kicking can be hit and miss but when on is a real weapon. His biggest issue though, and the one that really holds him back, is his almost complete lack of endurance. Not sure if this is a physiological thing or an effort thing, but when Jack Ziebell was lapping him at training early last year after two broken legs in two years alarm bells were going off on my head.

Who are you talking about? If its Dawson GC just got Warnock so they wouldnt want another mature tall defender, Melbourne has Frawley and just got rid of Warnock so they clearly have the depth not to need him either, Richmond could be a possibility esp with the retirement of Thursfield.

Depending on his requested salary, Brisbane might be interested too. We've gotten exposed a couple of times due to lack of KPD depth (only really have Merrett, Patfull, Maguire and McKeever at the moment).

Dawson is a step up on Warnock, I can see the Suns being interested, he is probably a luxury for the Dees, but the Tigers would be very interested.

Don't think depth is a problem, it's quality, once you lose Patfull and Merrett the other guys aren't that good, Dawson doesn't really fix tht problem
I would have to disagree, Dawson isn't bad, but his strength was in playing in an insanely structured defence, 95% of the time in a one on one he got slaughtered, that problem would only be exposed alot more at GC, Warnock has the size and strength to be a better one on one defender than Dawson IMO.

As a pure stopper yep, Warnock is better, but in today's game there are very few occasions when a coach will go for a pure stopper instead of a defender who can provide some run from defense. Dawson can do that, Warnock cannot.

Both Warnock and Dawson should be played a primarily tall stoppers, as they are poor with ball in hand. In terms of who is better it doesn't matter, both are well below what would be considered acceptable
any takers on Wonaeamirri? just been delisted

I'd still class that as depth problems.
That was what I meant, Maguire is short term injury cover at best after seeing him play this year and McKeever is probably still about two years away from being a real KPD. Dawson would be an upgrade over Maguire, but as you say, he can get exposed one on one and that's how the Lions tend to back their defenders to play.
Does he even want to continue with football?
Apparently we are offering Dawson 300k a season. Would melbourne, richmond, and gold coast want to pay this? some say it's too much for him.
lol no hes not id take warnock anyday. however to even say we might draftdawson is sheer lunacy. we have a set backline already with frawley, garland and rivers and tom mcdonald and troy davis waiting in the wings.

What part of "he is probably a luxury for the Dees" did you not understand?
I reckon Dawson is better than Warnock, so we'll have to agree to disagree.
