Pretty happy to leave Jeka in Hawthorn's reserves side. If he can't get a game in a bottom 6 side I'm not sure what he'll be doing at Carlton with Harry and Charlie in the forward line.

Jeka’s intensity as a forward is the biggest issue. Has one effort.
Has switched back in the last few weeks and looks a different player, but now he’s behind even more players as the backend is well stocked.
Given Dow still can’t get a game would think a 4th probably gets it done if he wants to leave. Seems to have others ahead of him as well. Unless the blues want howe can’t see us trading a player.
This makes sense from an asset perspective but we usually find AFL clubs are willing to let go of fringe players for peanuts for the betterment of their careers.
If an opposition club makes a compelling offer to Dow I can’t see Carlton bothering to haggle over draft compensation.

Was just tongue in cheek - I really, really rate the kid but obviously wouldn’t be a trade either club would bite at
How'd Dow go against GWS as Hewett's replacement?

See you on the 9th green at 9
I rarely pay too much attention to opposition players but Dow is one of the poorest players I’ve seen trotted out in an afl team for a while.
Very poor skills
Couldn’t provide any kind of contest
Had team mates constantly telling him to pick up an opponent
Terrible positioning
He looked completely lost.

Noticed he is very slow spreading around the ground. Provided little defensive running aswell. I think he’s confused too

Definition of a "nothing" footballer, if you're Carlton you'd take a third and run with it.
I'd take a chocolate bar to be honest. Seriously, who would want him on their list ?

You won’t get anything for him. It’ll be a delist.

Really wish we hadn’t played him the back end of the season. His value is plummeting with every game he plays.
Our mission is now to get one 20-touch game out of him before the end of the season to marginally increase our bargaining position.

What a shame.
Has the ability to break a game open but never did it consistently at the top level. It’s like watching a different player when he’s in the VFL. Doesn’t seem to carry any confidence in the seniors.
Needs a change of club and looks like he will get one.

He’s a great VFL player and will dominate games by default but he just isn’t a good AFL player.
Carlton are now missing Kennedy and Hewett and he had the opportunity to have a real strong end to the year in the seniors and he served up 13 uninspiring touches and showed some hesitation to attack a contest.
If he was an outside mid I’d probably care less, but he is an inside midfielder only, has no tank, isn’t big and just doesn’t have the capacity to outwork his opponent. We are basically conceding one player when he plays.

He can't kick. Was Dow a Silvagni pick?

Yep, first senior game in 11 weeks and comes into a side that gets slaughtered.
Looked a mile off it today.

Given he was pick 3 I doubt it. They'll get a pick about 50
He's the closest thing you'll see to Jimmy Toumpas that isn't Jimmy Toumpas

I was thinking more of a Aaron Fiora clone myself tbh.

We would love Paddy Dow to get to that level.

Harsh but true, Fiora at least played something like 50 good games for St Kilda.

Tough viewing yesterday in regards to Dow.
That kick on the far wing that was a 20m chip under zero pressure that went over his teammates head and out of bounds summed up his career.
Could be end up somewhere as a DFA or would no side bother to take him on at this point?

Not sure if we can delist him if he is contracted for another season tbh
