The Tigers have come to terms on a trade for Western Bulldog Patrick Bowden, who will be reunited with his brother Joel at Punt Road. In the deal, the clubs will exchange fourth-round draft picks (the Bulldogs moving from 59 to 56) and the Dogs will pay a small amount of Bowden's modest contract.
He sucks!
he cant be that bad, i have always though patrick was ok , better than ok, and miller already stated this week that they were all real pleased with patrick and he is already showing that he is one of the most skillful players at the club. not bad for a dud 
Really, he was never a dud. Being a Bowden his skills were always class - little doubt over that. At 24, 191, 90kg+ you expect him to be a really decent player, not struggling to play even 8 games for the Doggies, only 3 after Round 5.
If he plays anywhere near his potential he will be a wonderful scoop for the Tigers. If he continues his form at the Bulldogs he will be delisted over the next season or 2 as the likes of Meyer, Limbach and co. should be better prospects. He fits in our overall list struture well because the 20-25 year old part on our list is pretty bare, more so for KPP. For only a 4th round draft pick he was a calucalted risk, like Humm which wont be too bad if he doesnt come good. (although i would have loved Austin Lucy 4th round -

I think the real question is if Pat will be just a stop gap untill some of the kids mture or a real long term solid member of our best 22. Im sure he will have every chance to prove him self.
