Zac Dawson absent @ Family Fun Day?

Post: # 892229Post iheartdalsanto »

read this on the St Kilda facebook page.
apparently he wasn't there and they didn't acknowledge his absence like they did with Michael Gardiner and Sam Fisher?
anyone know why?

The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

having said that Dawson came back on in the last, albeit injured and Hall kicked 5 in the last quarter and some on here think he is out of form...

He was on one farking leg and it sh1ts me that some on here are willing to sit in there arm chair and critique his performance on that...

His right leg was bandaged when he came back on and he would have been obliviously restricted in running and speed.

Zac is a great player and has proved it, and some on here need to take a deep breath and realise that that was only the pre season....

Fair dinkum some of you are just an embarrassment IMO

There is certainly some panicky types on this forum. From memory the same panickers started last year also, after we got whipped by Port Adelaide in another meaningless practice match.

FFS, settle down, and lets see how we're travelling about June-July before we contempate jumping off the 20th floor of the closest building.

Sorry mate but absolute BS. You run onto the park then you're fit. AS a full back some goals that are kicked against you are acceptable and NO-ONE can stop. There are others which are very difficult to stop but the FF needs to know you are around (this is where Max came into his own when at his best)

Running under the ball or failure to make body contact is unacceptable imo. Made me sick to my guts watching that knob get his tail up and start rubbing it in our faces.

Having said that, I haven't written Zac off yet. His form during the NAB has been questionable but I still reckon he's our best bet down there. But let's call a spade a shovel and admit that he had a shocker on Sat night rather than make excuses for him - bit embarassing really.

Exaxtly

Unable to compete in strength area etc.........has led to loss of confidence
over Nab games

Has the club ever declared the problem

Compared to last year has shed many kilos.......... a real concern

What worries me is the lack of choices for fullback. Zac performed poorly throughout the NAB Cup series, not just after he corked his thigh.

His performance

If continues...no doubt media will up the questioning....has been mentioned that he looks skinny etc........

st.k members if continues will seek answers

whether one is given another matter

(IF you recall last year the club did of a bit of song and dance about how much he had bulked up...still on player bio etc)

At the moment looks like the skinny rookie that was belted early in his career.....

As I mentioned earlier it is a real concern as it appears it has affected his ability to compete and his confidence has fallen away during Nab
