183CM 82kg  SLOW mid 4 yrs in. Cmon what body of work do we judge him by. Dow is exactly what you do after 4 seasons to clog your list up.

Okay some think him worth keeping then ask what level is he likely to get to.

Thought he was ok in the first half but he really went missing in the 2nd.

His papers are probably stamped.

At this point in time I pretty much agree on Thompson but Paddy looks like he's finally starting to come good.... :shh

Thomson Dow is flourishing with more midfield minutes for the Tigers. Dow has spent 66% of the game in the midfield, accumulating 20 disposals and winning six clearances. This is well above his average of 14 disposals and three clearances.

We only look good when he is in the middle at the bounce. Can get clearance from the middle

Agree his clearance work is very good

But that non chase in the 2nd was totally unacceptable and it will be efforts like that may cost him his place on the list and a new contract offer

I also thought he was good , although when Dermie highlighted his lack of chase early in the game that was a poor look for the kid

Great hands and can find the footy now but still picks & chooses when to go and his kicking is still woeful. :shh

Good apart from that obvious poor effort. Needs to get in the gym.
