Dawson finally got his run in R9 against Sydney and returned 55 — well clear of his 28 BE in his first confirmed senior game this season. North is giving him an extended look, and the community enthusiasm for his selection is justified at $193.9k. Cash gen of $345/wk is low but that'll accelerate once the price catches up to his scoring. Buy if you need a cheap DEF cash cow; get in before the price moves.
