Most astute people would be wondering if he still has the athletic attributes post injury. Can he still find the ball after so long out.
Have we played 23 rounds already this year?
Yes mate, wake up you missed it all
While I dont agree with you on the Dow senario, I agree with this. The gameplan isn't much different to the Pies' except the we currently don't have the disposal skills, confidence (undoubtedly a factor in disposal also) , or belief / team cohesion to execute it.
There should, and to a certain degree the coach IS responsible, but if McCrae & Voss had been recruited at the opposite club, do you think McCrae would have faired any better with us? Their list is a lot more balanced than ours (a good mix of Elites and soldiers, who buy in and contribute)
Missed a few games with concussion. How unprofessional of him.

Maybe not, but lots of players have come good after years with Injury riddled careers. I think this year is shot so we should at least see if these two are finally over their injuries. Yes I agree we should have cut them both a couple of years back, but we didn’t. At least play them for the second half of the season, they get injured again, scrapheap.
after all the retoric over Dimma, starting to think we need to stick fat and not react with a sacking... we are playing shizzle in patches but are not getting smashed by big scores. even when down we play good patches of footy and get back in the game, adelaide got back to 18 points in the third, bulldogs got our noses in front.
No but you dont need to be a clairvoyant to work out how this story ends
Owies has footy smarts, it’s his strongest trait, as for having the worst non key forwards your spot on, it’s something that I’ve been saying for the past four years, we’re miles of the quality standards and depths compared to the rest of the competition…
agree he has some smarts. small forward is a thankless task, have to toil away and may only get a few opportunities games.

I'd sit here and debate with you, but the fact that we would even need to debate whether our forwards actually do what is 50% of their job outlines the problem enough.
Try this on the weekend - instead of counting how many times a forward leads (guaranteed single digits), count how many times our forward has space to lead to but is grappling with his opponent instead.
Then we can change our debate to whether our forwards are working hard enough or whether our mids even bother looking where they are kicking to.
And just for the record people - our #2 who's not good enough at footy loves to put the ball out infront of a leading forward. I

The Dow to Lemmey kick in the last? Was his best kick for the day

Welp, there it is - Silvagni Curnow & Young dropped, McGovern survives. I have no words 
Just for anyone playing along at home, Young 15 touches 7 marks 3 clangers last week. Gov 8 touches 2 marks 4 clangers, plus that insipid squibbed contest in the first quarter.
Incredible.

People keep on harping about Dow not being good at AFL level, but what kind of precedent does it set when you don't reward hard work and good form? It's not like we can do any worse with him in the team.
