Bio
Recruited from the Burleigh Bombers, Jacob Dawson joined the Gold Coast Suns via their Academy pathway in the 2018 Rookie Draft. An industrious inside midfielder capable of finding plenty of the football, he was known for his contested work and high disposal counts throughout his junior and state-league development. Dawson spent three seasons on the Suns' senior list, where he was primarily utilised as a depth player, struggling to break into the senior rotation permanently during a period of significant list transition for the club.
Following his delisting at the end of 2020, Dawson moved to the Southport Sharks in the VFL, where he truly flourished. He evolved into one of the competition's premier ball-magnets, captaining the side and claiming the J.J. Liston Trophy as the league's best and fairest player. His career has been defined by his resilience and dominance at the state-league level, where he surpassed the 100-game milestone, cementing his reputation as a high-quality clearance specialist and a standard-bearer for the VFL competition.
