Nick Dal Santo is a big fan of young Sydney defender Jordan Dawson.
The 23-year-old played 16 games in 2020, averaging 16 disposals per game and has shown the ability to play across half back, through the midfield or half forward if required.
Dal Santo rates Dawson as one of the best kicks in the entire AFL.
“Jordan Dawson needs to be given the ball at every opportunity,” he told SEN Breakfast.
“They’ve got Jake Lloyd already who does that, but Jordan Dawson is arguably in the top five field kicks in the competition.
“He is that good … and by coincidence he is a left footer and left footers are better at kicking the footy, that’s a fact,” Dal Santo added, tongue in cheek.
“Jordan Dawson needs to be given the ball more than he currently has and be put in position to show why he is so elite in this game. That is how good he is.”
Dawson has played 41 career games since being drafted with pick 56 in the 2015 National Draft out of Sturt.
