Dow must be mateless then

#amidoingitright?

Nah, Walsh is still getting back into form & he sits below Crippa & Charlie in the pecking order.

 

[Arr0w]

100% he’s playing well, they aren’t (Cerra being the exception but we aren’t lining him up for CB anyway)

Try and let this sink in...

At a different level

 

[Arr0w]

Nah, Walsh is still getting back into form & he sits below Crippa & Charlie in the pecking order.

But still mateless then

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Not even in the same ball park as our main inside mids

"Rare to non-existent. His kicking is generally poor, rarely in chains, hardly works back defensively"

That is literally a word for word perfect description of practically every one of our mids this year.

 

[macky99]

Not even in the same ball park as our main inside mids

Like Vossy you are thinking of 2022 form not the current year which aside from Cerra all are not remotely close to their output from the prior year.

 

[morningbrown]

We can on and on about Dow's deficiencies, but the reality is that our current midfield mix isn't working. So what's the danger in trying something different for a few weeks?

 

[HarryFlashman]

"Rare to non-existent. His kicking is generally poor, rarely in chains, hardly works back defensively"

That is literally a word for word perfect description of practically every one of our mids this year.

Funny that the highlights show him kicking better than pretty much everyone else on the ground, him starting chains & laying quality tackles.

"Rare to non-existent. His kicking is generally poor, rarely in chains, hardly works back defensively"

That is literally a word for word perfect description of practically every one of our mids this year.

"At different levels, one with lesser players and lesser intensity"

Like Vossy you are thinking of 2022 form not the current year which aside from Cerra all are not remotely close to their output from the prior year.

See above

Do you have a package of all the kicks he burnt, as in the majority

If we are going to make each preview thread about Dow, let's do it constantly then, with opinion from both sides of the ledger

 

[Broadside]

lets talk about the footy hey?

 

[katmanblue]

I agree - I've made the point a few times. The bigger problem with the non-selection of Dow is what it says to the rest of the list. He's mates with all the guys on that list (Walsh in particular) and they'd all be sitting there looking at the situation and feeling a sense of injustice for their mate who can kill it in the seconds as much as he likes but simply will not get picked. If the match committee can do that to Paddy maybe one day they'll do that to me.

It is such a poor message to send to the whole group - pretty shameful really.

Dow is the symptom not the illness.

Wonder why we even have a VFL side if we're going to ignore it's value as a development tool.

With your "different level" attitude do you ever agree when we elevate somebody?

No need to bother answering as we're not ever going to agree

Enough thread derailing with pettiness. It's repetitive & very tiresome.

There is an ignore feature.


Use it!

Mod. Notice - Moderator crackdown over dismissive and unconstructive posting

Folks, we have done this previously and we feel it is time to do it again. There is a increasing amount of smug and dismissive posting happening on the boards. People are being ridiculed for reasonable opinions and this serves to quell debate and a sense of community, which is what we are here...

[Jimmyonesix]

Don't mind the Fisher inclusion (if true). Think he's at the level and is talented enough, just needed to understand his effort and conditional-ness was unacceptable.

From what he showed in his second VFL game don't think he does

 

[goreds]

Yes we are aware. It's been mentioned several times in this thread.

jpfalvo posted that he heard Fisher would be an in.

I responded to the post & posted a screenshot from Charlie's Insta (Fish & Charlie at the Airport yesterday afternoon)

Nowhere did I say Fish was in!

 

[thylacine60]

Any risk of the teams, ffs?

 

[jpfalvo]

For those highlighting that Fisher was spotted at the airport.. our VFL side are also playing in Sydney as the curtain raiser.

I'll hold off on a huge rant about selection integrity until Thursday evening.

Source was an ITK outside of this forum.
Same source as 4yrs for Pittonet, I posted in another thread well before official announcement

Was told fisher in, jsos out.

Lets see if they are right...just sharing the word...

Fisher hasn't earned his spot back, in my opinion, but we will see

[SkyhorseTamer]

Can't believe we are still on Dow

Every coach and player at the club would know Dow's limitations, his deficiencies.

No one would be surprised he is not being selected

You should know this isn't true.

Still mates with a guy who was stuck in2nd grade at a club telling him all he wasn't good enough at - exactly the attitude you have.

He moved club and spent 10 years playing first grade and demolished the old club every season. Over analysis and over negativity about players gets into selector groups. NSW cricket is showing it everyseason with the amount of players they lose every year to other states all because they're 'not good enough and every one knows what they need to work on'.

I can dig up last week's if that's of any use....

6.20PM ffs!

I would bring TDK in for Jsos

That was Aphrodite wasn’t it…..
