He was quite good I thought. Very good at defending handballs and reading close play. Was moving quite well too, agile.

Are you people comparing him to his normal efforts or an actual AFL level effort? :shh

A lot better this week

Needs to bring that every week. There in lies the problem he doesn't. His inconsistency is the issue

Can’t teach courage
Some have it, some don’t

He will never have it, sadly

And if you don’t have it, there needs to be other strings to the bow which the player is elite at .. Dow is elite at nothing

Imagine the ticker of a Mansell for instance, in some of our other players

Great point Damo

Reckon we wouldn't be 1-6 even with our injury list if we did

Will likely keep his spot by default but think we all seen enough by now ....he's even making Ralphshyte look good.... :shh

Ralphsmith has been solid enough and is learning the wing position in a poor team. Dow is doing ok considering he is playing in the worst midfield group in the comp.
