AFL Fantasy Impact:
Brown played a lot more in 2007 so he must have the advantage over Dawes here, he would also have played more as a defender during his career. Dawes did have some exciting VFL games, when he returned to action after overcoming his knee injury, so he may also be ready for AFL.
There would only be room for one of them in the Collingwood team, and that would seem to be Brown, but the preseason games might change things. Dawes is someone who would be suited to playing in Rocca's spot, so if Collingwood need to replace an injured Rocca during 2008 it could be Dawes that they choose and not Reid.
