Dawson bashing - it's laughable.
I cannot believe after his performance tonight that he is copping some heat from some of the posters on here?
Cannot believe it.
Terrible mistake to take Krakouer high. But lets try and name 3 players that didn't make a poor mistake tonight that they shouldn't have?
He has a tag in the AFL community as a poor player, but I'd hoped that Saints supporters could look past that, obviously they can't.
Cloke, the premier forward of the competition, 10 touches 6 marks 2 goals.
Josh Kennedy, 10 touches 6 marks 1 goal.
Petrie, 9 touches 1 mark 2 goals.
Probably the 3 power forwards of the league this year and he has beaten them all.
He can be crude at times, and sometimes can make a blue, but gee - come on take off the Zac bashing glasses.

wasn't bashing any saints player. Some had average disposal, and while I'd be looking at peake and polo and gilbert for their disposal, their courage, intensity, etc was awesome.
Peake especially played like a man who wanted to win and was willing to put his body on the line.
Today I wouldn't question the heart of any saints player. I would question their skills under pressure.

Why did he do that silly tackle, high shephard at the start of the 3rd. Take that out and he had a very good game.

I dont want to "zac bash" as i dont mind him, but it seems most people are at extremes either way. The fact is he is not a very gifted player but he can put in a good performance on occasion and tries hard. This week he was pretty good and I thought his last quarter was fantastic so the "pro zacs" win the argument but he will play a shocker (all to frequently) again and the anti zacs will come out. This represents how I fill with him, he is neither here nor there. Early in the year I thought he was horrible in a few games but now his fought back in a couple. I think he might be good enough to be in the team but I dont like relying on him as our main key back, as he does get beaten too easily sometimes. I think the "pro zacs" are a little too contempt with mediocrity, yeah zacs not too bad, but at times him as key back is where our team is lacking and its not wrong to want to get better than zac dawson.

Just curious. can you tell me the last time Zac played a shocker and who it was against?hayes66 wrote:I dont want to "zac bash" as i dont mind him, but it seems most people are at extremes either way.

I agree but I disagree that it actually made high contact.plugger66 wrote:Well it did and even if it didnt why would you try and shephard like that. All he had to do was bump him not tackle him.millarsaint wrote:that silly high tackle didn't even make high contact if you watch it back.

Well if they did that it would be an error. Why wouldnt he have blocked instead of tackled. You cant tackle blokes who running after someone.CURLY wrote:Very soft call by the ump. Krakour went low when he saw Dawson coming to shepard many umpires would simply ignore it for what it was.Zac Attack wrote:when you attempt a tackle like that you deserve to be shot down big time. that was awful.

yeah from what i remember i thought he was disappointing last time we played pies and hawks earlier in the year, the first time we played the crows definitely stands out as a bad game.

Was it a error to not pay frees to Kosi and Roo when they were repeatadly taken high in marking contests? Maybe yes maybe no we see them payed then at times there not the same as Dawsons.plugger66 wrote:You are not answering the question and anyway if they ignored that last night it would have been an error.CURLY wrote:Seen the umps many times just ignore a blatant attempt to milk a free.plugger66 wrote:Well if they did that it would be an error.
