ZAC Dawson looks certain to continue his AFL career with Fremantle after walking away from by St Kilda. Dawson couldn’t agree on terms to continue with the Saints who were being squeezed by salary cap restrictions. Now Dawson and injury prone ex-Collingwood forward Brad Dick have joined in pre-season training with Fremantle.
Dawson played 63 games, including the 2009 Grand Final, in three seasons for the Saints after being delisted by Hawthorn at the end of the 2008 season. Dick managed only 27 games over five seasons at Collingwood after being picked at 44 in the 2006 National draft.
Fremantle are expected to pick both players in the pre-season draft on December 13.
