    Perfect wingman in my opinion. Our version of Andrew Gaff.

    The second Instagram photo is pretty good too - looks like Armarty well above Hickey and Sinclair

    Doesnt mean you can adjust other non-RFA contracts around it though. So the restrictive terms of buddy's contract arent stopping us going after free agents. It probably more likely that we are near 100% of the cap with buddy costs, and may not be that attractive to free agents chasing a premiership in the near term.

    Anyone go top the match sim?

    Read on BF that Gould looks fit and had the better of McDonald. Thought Gould would be a certain starter last season after his 2019 senior SANFL season, hopefully another who comes on this year adding to our regenerating team.

    Trying to do best 22's, finding it difficult to leave out a number of players - which is good :-)

    Not sure I see the comparison tbh. Agree he’s a great wing option ( but not really in the Gaff mould) but also a great HBF / HFF option too. I really like his versatility but we may get more out of him if we settle him somewhere.

    Agree. I don't see Dawson being an Andrew Gaff type, doesn't have the same tank for a start. I do see Stephens with the potential of a Gaff.

    I am also expecting a breakout season with Armarty as well.

    Doesn't have the tank? Are you kidding me?

    The point is that he is a perfect wingman. Which you seem to agree with.

    The only other really recognised wingman is Gaff, hence the comparison.

    I love Dawson as a player, great mark, superb kick - but is he all that fast?
    It's a pretty important attribute on the wing - doesn't exclude him from playing there, but it'd be handy.
    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    So in the last few posts he has been said to have not much of a tank and now no speed??

    I must be watching a different player.

    I think that you need to read the posts more carefully. I said that I believe that Dawson doesn't have the same tank as Gaff. I'm speaking in the present tense. He may still improve to Gaff's level but you must be kidding if you think they presently have the same tank.
