SWANS HUNT ‘FAIR DEAL’
SYDNEY has reminded Adelaide that it will not let Jordan Dawson go back to South Australia cheaply, with Swans head of football Charlie Gardiner labelling him as “arguably the best player on the market at the moment”.
Dawson turned down a five-year contract to stay at the Swans, with the longkicking wingman nominating the Crows as his preferred destination. The 24-year-old was drafted by the Swans with pick 56 in the 2015 draft.
But after a season in which he finished third in Sydney’s best and fairest, the Swans believe he is the best player looking for a trade this offseason.
“Our view is he’s arguably the best player on the market at the moment,” Gardiner said on SEN.
“We think it’s only fair and reasonable that we expect strong compensation for him.”
