Dow no spread from stoppage. Can not kick. Lacks strength. 21 disposals but giving it off like a ruckman. Not in our best 30 players. Not a finals player. Barely AFL. Time to move on.

Blunter than the other response I got but Yes it could well be time for Paddy to continue elsewhere.
Setterfield doing anything to warrant a game??
Lets see how he goes after another game in the reserves. Dont feel the need to rush him back given what he is coming back from.
had 23 possessions in the reserves, but cant attest as to their quality or damage
A saying that involves deck chairs and the titanic comes to mind...
In: Kemp, Boyd, Martin, Kennedy
Out: Weitering, Newnes, Motlop, Carroll
Stocker (sub) and Dow lucky. Dow needs more than one game at AFL level and for us to get a definitive answer on whether he can play in the same team as our five main mids.

Don’t get it with Setters.
First year or so he was the best tackle at the club & heading in the right direction.
Since then he’s fringe 23 at best. Don’t think he’s had a major injury either.
Would that be vs ESS in the wet, along with Willo’s debut? Carlton Cobblestone guernsey game?
all these people naming changes for two weeks time are getting ahead of themselves.
we still have training to get through so potentially a few more injuries
and if you think I am poking the "injury bear" with my jest, well yes I am. Its already pissed with us so I cant see how poking it further could get it anymore pissed.

He was racking up the tackle numbers last season in the VFL. Went downhill last year after being placed on the wing, and has no hurt factor in his game or output IMO. Just meanders about.
Unless we pull a ready to go KPP/KPD from the MSD ( which i think we will take at least 1) , suspect Kemp will come in over Marchbank
Either way, neither are the ideal selections as genuine KPDs

Yea Cottrell was on Sidebottom and O'brien on Daicos. Cottrell was out of position a lot of times Pies got the turnover, Sidebottom owned that wing and so he should tbh with his experience. Learning opportunity for Cotts
Yeah. It sucks. Remember a few games him drifting forward from the wing and taking contested grabs to kick a goal. All looked peachey then.
It's really all fallen apart. Would think it has to be personal life related given the lack of major injuries for a few years.

Has four working limbs, which is kinda the only prerequisite at the moment.
He's old and slow. He shouldn't own it no matter his footy experience.
Just run with him and you'll negate his influence.
We need to find some decent wings in the next few seasons.

His tackling is reminiscent of Gibbs - follow your man to the ball, let them get it, tackle them immediately. They're not meaningful tackles, and all they achieve is ensuring a repeat stoppage. Would rather see him try and win the ball himself.

I think marchbank played rd 1 against Richmond.

Spot on I'm afraid. A tackle is great and it's a stat but a kick is better.
Sidebottom was not treated with the respect he deserved, I’m not sure if the fault lies with the coaching panel or his direct opponent but it cost us.
Sidebottom outplayed him on that wing, Cotts was lost

That little runt 22 must have had 40 yesterday. At least we know we are the one club artificially skewing their future contract signings.
