Player Watch #27 Thomson Dow

[Willo_23]

He'll be fine I reckon, will never be a top liner but he doesn't need to be. Some weeks this year he's basically been leading the midfield, give him some time.

Rapidly.
Will approach Corey Ellis status in two years' time.

Everyone brings their own level of skill and their particular characteristics but if everybody had good hands and didn’t fumble in pressure situations like big finals and Grand Finals the team would go a long way.

Too many GFs are decided in the first quarter because a team can’t get control of the footy. Nervous fumbly players are a liability on the big stage whereas it’s a godsend if you have guys who focus on the next play and executing, rather than being overwhelmed by the occasion. You regularly see it in run of the mill H&A games as well.

Great hands are severely under valued.


Comprehension not strong here. It’s not like you had to wade through War and Peace, it was only one sentence to try and understand.

I never said “23 Dows”.

But I did say “23 blokes as clean as Thomson”

Sorry if you struggle with the distinction.

That was a great bit of trash talking. I deserve it ... for not reading carefully.

yes if all out players were as clean as Dow it would be great.

 

[Cam Payner]

I fear Dow's "clean hands" are well on their way to gaining the same mythical status as Short's "elite foot skills"...

 

[Noidnadroj]

Reached for him at the draft from memory. It never works.

Not really … nearly every phantom draft had him a top-30 pick.

pretty strange. Either there’s an echo in here or family are onto this thread.

it never seizes to amaze me but I have a little giggle anyway with these new account/s fake or burner accounts, with the names with about a 1 minute thought process, so much lack of imagination or lack of sincerity in their usernames....lol 678 really is a give away

My guess a piss take.

Not going to make it imo.

He has good hands in close but is not prolific enough.
He can take a mark but that's not what he's there for.
His defensive side, kicking and decision-making are all below standard.

I hope I'm wrong.

could not agree with you more however a wink emoji would be nice

Needs to get stronger. Look at Prestia, not quick, just keeps motoring along because he is solid and low over the ball. Get some strength into his arms and shoulders so he can tackle.

 

[Cam Payner]

Must be a Collingwood thing, Nathan Buckley mentioned much the same last game in the commentary.
I'm sitting on the fence just yet, although .AFL_expert678 is quite an endorsement (Buckley is okay as well).

Probably is Figjam....

his hands are only clean because he barely touches the ball

Indeed... he's going about as well as Michael Tuck would be if he was still playing AFL in 2024....

Yes we all do.
Jagga Smith can join Ross, Dow, Mcauliff, Taranto, Hopper and friends

Hi Mrs Dow

 

[Cam Payner]

You mean the 10 who are not divorced from reality...

 

[Livonski]

Pretty sure I saw him hit Balta lace out on f50, probably Q4.
Just saying…
