I would keep him for the leadership and cultural reasons given the rebuild we are about to finally submit to.

Bottom line if he wants to go we just need to get maximum value.

Dusty as a permanent forward has never worked IMO, despite all the media hype about him kicking 60-70 goals if he was a permanent forward lol.

He is best as a mid/forward mix always and when we are getting smashed every week he basically doesn't exist with the rest of our forward line.

lamington Dow is absolutely hopeless. I will save you the trouble. He is not the future and the dow brothers are more suited to netball than afl and that is no disrespect to some of the netballers.

forget him he is not the future.

I’m probably coming off as impatient but I think we have enough of a sample size to show that Dow can’t play inside midfield. At least until he is stronger and doesn’t get pushed around so easily (got absolutely molested by Rowell and Anderson). I don’t know if he’s fast enough to play on the outside though. Can dow do a lambert and be an arc to arc midfielder?

If he stays he has to be given the Captaincy...

Whatever we would have to offer to make him stay just isn’t worth it for an undersized player. He’s captain material and a very good cultural player but if he wants to go then it will only benefit us

I seriously think if he just stays permanently in the middle (displacing Dow) and he and Prestia/Taranto/Bolton whoever is fit lines up with him his form will sky rocket. Basically what mcqualter did post Hardwick ‘s experiment of him as a permanent forward

At this stage the development of others is more important though. Even if it is Dow, atleast why find out about him

Nah he’s coasting and it’s not good for the team or his legacy IMO.

Not good for his legacy?

Come on mate. That is ridiculous. Worse than when the coach used that stupid word on this bloke.

Not saying it’s ruining his legacy, but IMO it is tarnishing it somewhat seeing him jog around disinterested while we are getting smashed.

No concerns about him playing out the year but I personally want him to retire before it gets any worse
