What a horrible club to let dow rot in the vfl .. should have let him go last year if your never going to play him… we talk about mental health .. he must be one strong mofo I swear and could there be a clause in his contract that permits him playing .. I just don’t get it

Apparently there were no suitors last year and dow didn't want to leave.

But yep I agree play the kid.

 

[jackn]

Does anyone, with club/player intel, know if Dow's also on the outer with Blues teammates? Or is it just with Voss?

He used to be housemates with Walsh and Kennedy. Not sure if that's still the case though. Also best friends according to an article about Kennedys resurgence.

How would the club release him, if he has a contract and didn't want to leave?

 

[kreuze_missile]

His wayward goalkicking doesn't help. Even if he takes a mark or gets a fee inside f50, there's a good chance he'll miss.

So you are saying TDK will fit in perfectly next to McKay?

They did their all to get him out.

In the end him wanting to stay cost us Setters.

Don't confuse their unwillingness to select him with what happened at the end of last year. Two very different issues but a product of the same.

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

*** Trigger warning***Dow’s another Nick Graham. Great VFL player average at the top level. He’s had plenty of chances over the years and is behind Cripps, Kennedy & George. Who out of those 3 does he start over? None. What’s the point of making him an emergency if you’re not going to play him? Everyone carrying on needs to chill. He’s done that’s it. Getting 41 touches in the 2s doesn’t make him the next Gary Ablett Jnr. He’s limited at AFL level.
Edit * trust me I’d love him to be given the chance to prove me wrong but I can’t see it

TDK can only turn left.

Team harmony in the locker room would not be overly great I’d think.. once a coach has obvious favourites and non favourites it sends a ripple and fracture…. Hmm makes you think our form and attitude could be tied somewhat.

Absolutely spot on jj
I’ll give Voss one thing - he’ll live or die on the faith of his blessed favorites
I can’t get passed a Wayne Bennet book I read years ago ( I know I know different code )
It was on the back of the Broncos awesome period.
The essence of the quote- yes he has his favorites, but they were all top players, unwavering in setting the standards players.
I honestly don’t think I can say the same for Voss.

 

[Monty1978]

Sack him it’s not hard . Why would you keep someone you dislike at your club .. voss doesn’t like him for some reason so let him go

May say more about our players too..stand the F up!
And learn how to kick..

Contract and the payout may have something to do with it.

 

[jezza25]

Pretty obvious

 

[Graffy4242]

Dow not even an emergency anymore... Its over for him at Carlton.

Hope he smashes it at his new home next year.

I wonder if JSOS will look around also

He hasn't been emergency for any game the entire season. It's a ****ing joke.

 

[Monty1978]

If Dow is owed 500k playing in the reserves or seniors and we are never going to pick him for seniors under no circumstances then delist him and be better. allow him to go somewhere else .. dude gets 30
plus a game and we are shite .. literally could have saved a grand with flights , room , and everything especially this weekend .. just weird to my view eyes

 

[Arr0w]

Yeah, it has to be that the coach dislikes him

 

[TheReal99prelim]

The Paddy Dow fan cult is really starting to annoy me.

He has shown next to nothing in relative terms of where he was taken in the draft, and yet, has become a beacon of hope for those posters with an blatant and undisguised anti Voss Agenda.

I know which horse I would back to still be @ Carlton next year that's for sure ..

No player is bigger than the club (or coach fot that matter)

Yes that's exactly what it is

I assume you avoid the fiction section of the library...that would annoy you into oblivion

 

[Juddrockz]

Can see them both going to the Saints,maybe TDK aswell.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Yeah, it has to be that the coach dislikes him

Whatever the reason, it’s probably reached a point where the club needs to explain it.

 

[TheReal99prelim]

All this hero worship over a hybrid of Kane Lucas and Nick Graham LOL.

I will back a 3 time premiership winning legend and Brownlow medalist over the so called 'expertise' of so called experts here.

You forgot to mention, "failed first time coach" in his resume'...probably an oversight

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Apparently there were no suitors last year and dow didn't want to leave.

But yep I agree play the kid.

Yeah I think they'd have to spend draft capital. Clubs still overrate draft pick value too much. They're just waiting for the delisting. I know 2 clubs who're at worst going to talk to him about joining if / when Carlton cuts him

 

[Arr0w]

Whatever the reason, it’s probably reached a point where the club needs to explain it.

Sure they have already done that, but we can all see why

 

[Monty1978]

Yeah, it has to be that the coach dislikes him

I use to think Dow just can’t get into the team , fab 5 yeah yeah all that jazz .. listening to posters like you who I respect with the need to get better with his 2 way running , needs to do a little more then you know what happened the fab 5 turned into the crap and voss contradicting himself every press conference. If your still against him having a crack your a hard man to please and Look at the end of the day he is not playing and most times you and myself today are not right it’s an opinion .. will see next year . He comes good voss and you look like muppets . If he doesn’t play AFL again in and most of us in here are muppets .. will see

Our midfield isn't playing well enough to justify anyone being kept out.

McGovern squibbed every single contest on Sunday and he's still in.
We may as well shutdown the VFL side if it means sfa.

Get the lads jogging in tight circles and pick the guy who sounds the most geniune laughing at the MC's jokes. It'd be on par with our current method at the moment.

Heart, effort and form aren't been taken into account anyway.

McGovern’s not a mid.
As I said above you can paint it however you want and I’d love Dow to come into the ones and kill it. But it ain’t gonna happen. He doesn’t start in front of our current midfield. He’s not quick he offers no difference to what’s there as far as our inside goes and is more limited then them going back the other way. We can all look at it emotionally but if you look at it realistically that’s what it is.
