Who cares as long as he’s not playing seniors as he’s rubbish and a liability

So he should - VFL's his level....

Peanuts go better with beer and make a good spread on toast. Not much that I like about almonds in comparison

Actually Dow couldn’t be a peanut because he doesn’t know how to spread, especially from stoppage.

 

[Cam Payner]

Figjam will no doubt be shocked by his omission...

 

[tigs2010]

Hope he goes back to the VFL and works on his weaknesses, that's all you can ask of players like him in this situation. Hopefully the experience he's gained at senior level enables him to be a more dominant player at VFL level.

Hope he goes back and plays another role. Needs another string desperately.

Would definitely help him regarding his position on the list.

I don't see much hope. Have said it before, he has the defensive game of a player who is an all time offensive weapon, and the offensive game of a player who is an all time defensive weapon. It is not a great mixture.

I'm 100% in the same boat but it's worth trying. No point sending him back to VFL playing midfield hoping he's going to become a 25+ possession weapon at AFL level.

Where would you play him on the ground if not in the midfield?

High half forward. He couldn't possibly play anywhere else

He just doesn't seem to have the defensive game or ability to spread to play there. But I suppose playing that position may help him develop these areas further.

Not sure why we’re dropping Dow. Need midfielders this week and hopper hasn’t played for a while

OK Mr Dow

Hopper could well ping another hammy by 1/2 time

 

[Grrr]

Dow needs to go back and dominate, that's all you can ask. I doubt he'll be delisted because of depth issues, so he needs to come back next season a lot bigger and stronger. He might be back this year if his form warrants, but he has been given a good run and has come up short, not a lot short like some on here would say, but 19 average possessions a game doesn't cut it.

The year after with mids drafted this year, and MacAuliffe and maybe Campbell he will really have his work cut out.

Because thankfully even the match committee is not as slow as you and have finally realised that he's shit....

You've made 20 posts. 19 defending Thomson Dow and 1 pumping up Paddy Wow. Give it a rest Mrs Dow. Your sons are collectively the worst 1st round busts ever. Also you've got a pies logo on your profile.... nothing sus about you at all

Yep needs to develop these aspects otherwise it's going to be bye bye. He's zero chance as a pure mid once we climb the ladder.

Hopper could well ping another hammy by 1/2 time

Our midfield at no stage has performed well with Hopper in the side .
People turn the spotlight on new players , let’s not forget hopper would be in the top echelon of contracts over the whole comp .
If re-named sanchez it’d be a lot easier to identify the clubs worst ever recruiting decision .

No he wouldn't. 19 players got paid $1million+ last season.

Dow > Hopper

Nopper is a fraud.

Its foot ball and Dow can't kick well. I have seen Soldo change his kick enabled him to take set shots from beyond 50.



Maybe he can bulk up too. As 23 year old going on 24
