With a leap he has ( tested extremely well and can see it ) and has very good running capabilities
He is an athlete
Playing better Footy than half the side atm including Hanners and Aliir

I think he’s now over-rated by some on here. He has good moments but he’s not impacting games a whole lot, nor should he be. That comes down to capability in my eyes. He can do a few great things, just not across four quarters of a game. That’s the difference between a player with extreme abilities and limited abilities. Just because he’s not a bad player does not make him a great one either.

Can Kennedy jump? Can Franklin mark above his head? What’s your point?

Is he doing his job? I would argue that he’s doing more than just that and to bring you full circle, has proven that he does not have limited capabilities!

Incorrect, I think ‘limited capabilities’ is ‘limited capabilities’ and clearly this is not true with Towers.

Agree with you.
He is a very limited player who has ironed out the brain explosions and poor skill errors that used to be a regular part of his game at AFL level.

He always had good periods during a game, he always gives 100%.
Towers is, objectively, super-athletic. That’s not debatable. He’s quick and powerful and a good endurance runner.
Would be one of the best athletes in the side alongside Franklin and Rohan.
It’s the footy smarts (and self-belief) that’s the issue. But he’s getting better. Solid role player. Good on him.

Done. Nothing more to offer
Yes he won’t get another deal unless it’s a last minute thing.

Was playing good footy then became out of favour quite quickly without good reason IMO and hasn't had another look.

Aye. Deano is toast or consigned to the deepest depths of the list. Like Nohan, he is all athlete with few footy smarts. Suspect that at his age the coaches have lost patience and will look elsewhere.

Towers is 28, has been on the list 6 years, is too old and no chance to improve
Rohan is 27, has been on the list 9 years, and is full of potential

Good comparison. They are a pigeon pair in terms of athleticism and endeavour and they also share an absence of footy smarts.
Nohan should be off to Geelong for a 6th rounder or Colac for a dozen scones. After his nine years he is on the downslide from the heights of the molehill he once reached.
Towers from memory had one game back from the eye injury and failed to flatter.
