Player Watch #27 Thomson Dow

[Muddiemoose]

Dominate? Did you watch?

Dominate is probably a bit overzealous but going by the VFL report it seems he will still be likely in the frame for selection

17 contested possies is impressive

Thomson Dow (26 disposals, 17 contested possessions, 77% disposal efficiency, three inside-50s, three tackles, eight clearances)

“It was fantastic to see Thomson come back to VFL level and really play above the level straight away. He led the team for clearances and had five centre bounce clearances, which is an outstanding result.

The biggest thing I noticed being at the game on Sunday was he actually kicked with a level of penetration we haven't seen him do at AFL level, which I dare say was something he has been put back to work on.

I think it was sarcasm.

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

 

[Cam Payner]

According to the club he did very well.
Straight in

Lmao - are you seriously taking a VFL report at face value? They always talk everyone up and rarely bag anyone even when we get flogged - they might as well be written by you....

Are you angry?

Just change name again and rejoin, you'll be fine.

 

[Grrr]

Dow played a good game, it was wet and slippery and he was clean in the conditions, but nothing to talk of being promoted. That needs to be his minimum.

At least he went back to the ressy's and performed reasonably well, still hope for him.

Well I've been told I'm a bad boy for love but no I'm not him...

He'll be there next year, Hugo was gone this time last year. If he is good enough...

Exactly!
As previously stated … right place, right time. Not convinced he has much of a future, but he will stick it out for two more years as we bigger all young mid stocks and even fewer stocks that are dependable in terms of injuries.
Great time at ‘the La d’ to be a player with four or five years experience.

 

[tiger_tough]

Straight back in the team this week

I think it was sarcasm.

Nah Morro doesn’t want him in his team and hopes he plays in the firsts. His game was atrocious last week and just the usual Dow game of accumulating of nothing.

 

[tigs2010]

Called it. The madtugger kiss of death b2b weeks for poor Tommy Dow

 

[TigerImposter]

Straight back in the team this week

 

[The Mighty]

The only win in regard to selection this week is they didnt bring him back..

Dont know if Cumbo was the right call but Dusty aint playing so he might play well as he does ok when Dusty aint on the park.

 

[Barnzy]

Papers are stamped. Not gonna play a player who won't be here in 2025

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Will be playing at the tigers next year.




Balwyn Tigers

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

Unfortunately I think JON would give them both more than a run for their money

Sadly, since watching the Tigers as a kid from '75 onwards, I haven't seen a worse player than JON.
And he was a top-10 pick

 

[tigs2010]

Wonder who Thomson barracked for as a kid? I'm backing David Schwarz's kids on the Pies

Hell get another year I reckon.

 

[Growapair]

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

He has a great build for a boundary umpire

Head over to the Jack Graham thread.
There’s a common theme called a “stacks on the mill”. Very easy for so called supporters to just constantly line up to kick a player of ours. A bit weak really.
You’ll find a trend of the same posters saying the same things. Not sure what they get out of it, maybe a “like” from an equally shallow poster. Not a great way to conduct yourself, in my opinion.

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
