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.

 

[jimsta10]

Playing teams back into form is what we do best.


I hope Im wrong.

 

[SolGoodman]

I think a lot of people are missing the main core of the argument at hand here, it isn’t a “Dow” argument, it’s a rewarding good form in the ressies while the seniors play like absolute dogshit week in week out.

Dow just happens to be the best and most consistent player in the 2s at the moment hence him popping up so much around here.

Now, stubbornness is one thing, but if Fish really gets picked for tomorrow I’d be absolutely astonished and it would be the ultimate smack in the face to the rest of the reserves from the MC.

Here’s to hoping JPs source is going off of Charlie’s instagram story only…

 

[macky99]

it's not just about Paddy Dow, it's about every player on the list, because it's about selection integrity and reward for effort

if you don't have that integrity, it sends all the wrong messages to the entire playing group.

Exactly pity some people cannot see that, not even about him it's about any player consistently performing being deserving of a opportunity.

 

[kreuze_missile]

IN: TDK, Dow, Binns, Cincotta
OUT: Silvagni, E Curnow, Hewett, Boyd

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Not sure the MC would be too concerned if Dow was to get injured. Would save the embarrassment of having to answer questions about him in pressers

I have a mental vision of Voss hearing reports of Paddy Dow killing it week after week in the VFL.
"FFS ya little sh1t, 40 possession again! Grrrr, your making us look like fools and we're running out of believable excuses to ignore you".

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

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

In fairness you could say the exact same thing about many of our 1st 22 players…..including the Captain!

 

[carlton_99]

IN: TDK, Dow, Binns, Cincotta
OUT: Silvagni, E Curnow, Hewett, Boyd

What would be the reasoning for dropping Boyd...? First game back in months and thought he had a solid outing especially in the 2nd half. Need his kicking and pace out of the backline imo - was always the replacement I had in mind when Williams went down

 

[goreds]

How dare you say that…

*I agree

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

Exactly pity some people cannot see that, not even about him it's about any player consistently performing being deserving of a opportunity.

Especially when you consider Voss' comments re the inclusion of Kemp.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

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

So you're saying he'd fit in perfectly with our current midfield?

 

[ctwenty1]

Don't think Dow gets selected this week

You could set up an automated process and post this weekly and you wouldn’t be wrong

 

[AndyLucimitis]

So you're saying he'd fit in perfectly with our current midfield?

..and looks like he has a bit of speed out of stoppages which we wouldn't either.

I mean it was Voss in the press conference who said 'let's look at what we have rather than what we haven't got'.

Again though - it's about selection integrity.

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!

 

[spry]

I just wish theyd be honest. If voss (who i support) wants to back in the current group and system to turn it around. Say that. Dont say that its good dow is proving pressure from underneath when freddy (who’s blind) knows he’s not getting picked. Therefore not providing any pressure.

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.

And if that were true when both Walsh and Kennedy were out at the same time Dow would have been picked.

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

So you’re saying he’s now best mates with Charlie (as Crippa is out of form) & will now be playing this week?

 

[Arr0w]

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

 

[Juddernaut08]

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.

 

[Aphrodite]

So you’re saying he’s now best mates with Charlie (as Crippa is out of form) & will now be playing this week?

Your words not mine.

 

[Arr0w]

Dow must be mateless then

#amidoingitright?

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