I posted this on BF:
I'm in the 'needs a proper chance' boat, instead of being told to run around applying pressure (clearly not his game, he's a goal-sneak), or being subbed on with 35m left to go when we're dead in the water anyway, like it makes a damned difference.
Beguiles me that Dow has been on the list 5 years, was given (gifted) 17 games this year and FMD looks like we'll be retaining him for 2025.
Never once have I seen Dow take a game by the scruff and just stuffing win it or at least damage another team.
Cumberland on the other hand - I was there for the 2022 Brisbane game and the fact that he didn't pinch a single Brownlow vote for jagging 5 goals and single-handedly keeping us anywhere within reach for half a game of football is why that award is such utter stuffing trash.
