Player Watch #27 Thomson Dow

[Livonski]

Look at you criticizing people for turning on their own ... when ironically that is what you are doing here by degrading your fellow Richmond posters to a scum supporter

That’s about the dumbest post I’ve read on here.
Fellow Richmond posters? Ha. A pack of bullies lining up to constantly vilify a kid trying to make his way in my footy team.
I haven’t “degraded” anyone. The cap fits, they can wear it.

What does the number of posts I make have to do with someone admitting that it's their club ?? So if you make the most posts on Facebook does that imply you own Facebook .? Are you illiterate or you just failed to read his post OR do you suffer from denialism?


Denialism is an essentially irrational action that withholds the validation of a historical experience or event when a person refuses to accept an empirically verifiable reality.

Ok Helen

No I'm not your ex-wife Helen Back sorry....

 

[Tiger2709]

Will be playing at the tigers next year.




Balwyn Tigers

The way were going at the moment that might be a step up?

Given the number of players retiring this year you have to ask if a 5thround draft pick will.be better than Dow? Probably not. Another preseason and he is a useful player, though the danger for.him is this draft is midfielder heavy so he will have to try and stay ahead of the new draftees

If he hasn’t got it after 5 pre seasons what makes you think number 6 is going to be some magic one where he turns into a consistent AFL level mid

Got some magic beans to sell you

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Delist end of year. No good. Had more opportunity than anyone. Don't want to see any prayer bomb kicks by Dow in 2024, 'the Dow dump' we call them in my home

Um...ok Joe....

Plodded again in the VFL today V the worst team in a 100 point belting.

Honestly he's barely VFL standard.

 

[TigerImposter]

Average HB length 51cm
Average kick length 18.2m
Missed tackles I stopped counting at 7 at HT.

Will never make it and the remarkable thing is how he's survived on an AFL list for 5 seasons.

He is a future leader. He will make a name for himself at deer park next year

Aye. As said before, even if he had 50 possessions he wouldn't hurt the opposition. I doubt he'd be any more than an average player at Deer Park.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

The fact that he played as many games as he has this year shows where we are at as a footy club. I hope it was purely based on injury

 

[RJK Tiger]

To me Dow is appearing to be a more boring, but reliable Cumberland.

Not up to it.

I think he has the ability to be our 5th or 6th mid, in a rotation to help our better on ballers be great.
I don't think he has the ability to be an A grade star.


But you need both types of player in a successful midfield.
One full of stars rarely works, for long periods of time anyway.

Bris 01-04 was one, but they were all differnet types of mids
WCE 04-06 was another, a little less diverse, but all seemed to work together

This is the key point on Dow, he remains a decent chance to become a solid accumulator in time, every side needs them and the more competition for those lesser roles the better.

I always find it a little strange when supporters massively underrate the not-so-simple act of being in position to receive the ball 20-30 times a game, then complain that after getting it, not enough was done with it.

I dunno how many times I've read on this board that even absolute kings of the solid accumulator role like Neale are 'zero hurt' footballers. When in reality, if in combination those opposition solid accumulators are keeping enough ball away from your stars, they are very much hurting you.

Worpel pulling Green's pants down in recent weeks. Not because he's a classier footballer, because he kept getting the ball more and whatever he did with it was better for the Hawks than Green getting 30+.

We're seeing it enough as a game trend that it's a large part of why tagging is having a renaissance, IMO.

We potentially lose Prestia, Graham. Baker out of the midfield rotations. Kmac2 is still a bit green & Sonsie hasn't secured his spot in the 22.

Whoever we draft will be a question mark. Ross can't get on the park.

Dow is perfect moneyball depth. Typical RFC role player that will have Zero interest elsewhere. 22 years old and a RCD body type that will mature at 25.

3 or 4 small forwards will be delisted before Dow.

Why would you keep a player on your list if he has zero interest elsewhere? Doesn’t that tell you something? Two kids playing for Preston and Coburg would offer more than this bloke.
