Well when he plays no good we’ll let you know
Currently we are shite. The list is an ordinary a list as you can get. Dow fits perfectly as a C grader in our team. Will he improve from here? Perhaps - but what's the upside? We need depth - so until we have another 2-3 'quality' kids that play midfield, he gets a game. That might mean gets another contract. He may be needed until they are ready. Unless we get a couple of top 10 ready to go types. Then with Taranto and Hopper around them, Dow would likely be back in the VFL. For now, he can plod around getting his 15 or so ordinary possies while quality AFL mids on oppo teams show us what is used to like to have a midfield that dominates. As always - hope he proves me wrong!

Dow is a peanut and will forever be a peanut. Ross and Ralphsmith are almonds, at least they have some value.

Well let’s hope it switches on as fast it did for Hugo
bring in some top end ready to go young mids over the next few seasons and ditch meehan he's gonna struggle for a spot.
his complete lack of confidence kicking, even short passes scares me.

He's a stop-gap, no more.
Given the parlous state of our list, which will become worse if and likely when we lose a few of our bigger names to other clubs at the end of this season, we'll need some 22-24 year olds to hang around.
Right place, right time for him.
Retirements to Prestia, Grimes, likely Martin and possibly Pickett and the waving goodbye of Graham mean good times for guys like Dow, however much we are going to battle.

I could see that if he could play another position. As a pure mid and our ladder position we will be drafting mids from the elite pool.

Are you a child, seriously why the hate. You know he is just coming back in next week when Dusty is rested, you do realise that right.
Not sure about that Ed. That'd require him to have some sort of forward ability.

Above criticism though
Seems like his last game was deemed "no good" by the only people that matter.Well when he plays no good we’ll let you know
