OMG, yes!
Looks more like McGov in real time rather than freeze frame.
For real-time, watch here (vid starts at the right moment):
EDIT: I orig thought you meant the dad, not the tradie.

Not the father looking for Bon Bon just the 2 second cameo. Hoping that someone with some I.T. capacity can post.
EDIT. I haven't had my eyes checked since Digby Morrell was going around.

You totally missed the intention of my post, 90% of the posts on here hammer Dow expecting more of him because he was pick 3,
while no one gives a toot cahoot about how Martins travelling because he came for free. Personally think we payed a lot of money for
a player that's body is not standing up to the riggers of AFL. Ever time he plays well he gets injured, he goes to hard and his body
is not built for it, I wouldn't play him midfield he will miss to many games.

Actually wouldn't mind seeing Dow trialled in defence. I think defending could take the uncertainty out of his game that we see with him and would help develop the defensive side of his game which has been lacking. Play a little bit on the ball and a little bit in defence if one of our defenders is going to be used in part as a midfielder. He might be no good at all but I wouldn't be surprised if he did a good honest job as a defender and it may well develop parts of his game that are lacking, even if it makes him a little more defensively minded and more defensively instinctive then that is a step forward. Could swap with Martin on the ball for example.

No I didn't.
**** I hope Dow comes out this season and sticks it up all the naysayers.
Probably my strongest player wish (along with Charlie C recapturing some of his best). Such a good kid.
Go Paddy.

I'm backing him in for break out tbh
And what makes you say that?
Carlton's own injury news wasn't exactly emphatic about him playing rd 1: Injury news: Updates on Docherty, McKay, Walsh and more
I didn't say he won't play round 1, I said there's doubt. Which there is given he's missing training at the moment and won't be playing the pre-season matches.

call him booster......
Is Josh Cripps still battling it out for that last train on spot? Just heard a whisper he is back in WA, haven't seen any recent announcement from Carlton on who got that last train on spot.

He did play here in match sim late last week. Interesting whisper though...No announcements on SSP spot as yet from Club
Yeah I’m of the belief and have said it before that he can rotate as a forward as well, and in a better system with better forward entries and structures where the forwards can greatly benefit much more, he can cause some damage offensively…
The endurance is starting build up to an acceptable level, defensive chasing and running down opposition will take his game to another level when he can engrave this into a non negotiable…
Hi folks, I wasn't sure where to post this.
I'm looking for a young player with potential to draft in the PSD of our keeper league.
Luke Parks seems to have had a lot of very low scores. Is this because he has been the sub many times?
Cheers.

Back in the peaking order of 3rd talls, that is more a stopper than an interceptor/accumulator
Nah, his role just isn't conducive to decent scores. He isn't an interceptor yet, more a pure lockdown third tall (at least at the moment). I wouldn't recommend picking him up, at least not this year
On CPH1877 using BigFooty.com mobile app
They said he'll likely play the proper pre-season game and in any event is targeting Round 1, AFL.com article was sensationalist tripe.

Can i ask, why do people think playing a non defender in defence will suddenly teach them how to defend in a midfield position better. In defense he doesn't have a dynamic 360 degree rolling contest where he can lose an opponent, he doesn't have to break forward or defense.... What he does have to do in defense are non translatable skills. Playing off the back shoulder, spoiling, the positioning is completely different. Why not teach him to defend by making him understand where he has to stand at stoppages, increasing his fitness base so he can track back better and help him read the fall of the ruck contest. Playing him in defense sounds like it interferes with someone elses development and doesn't really teach him what he's missing. If what you want is accountability you teach him through watching film and helping him understand and then smashing him on the track so he's fit enough to do whats being asked.
Basically teaching a whole new role with its own nuances to a guy who's struggling with his main job already sounds like a prime way to overload someone and burn them out/ destroy their confidence.
