He is very similar to Ross. A good player, hard at it, honest as the day is long but lacks a little polish. Thomas Dow is one in particular that is not as mature physically but has a little more class and upside in my view.

Was screaming out Robertson at our pick
Yeah I’m surprised we didn’t take Robertson or Worrel. Don’t know much about Dow but really hope he’s better than his brother who has had a very underwhelming start to his career.

Good luck to the young fella; hope he kills it!

I was screaming out for Worrell but what do we know? The recruiters looked happy. How funny is sos? Making deals all over the shop like a maverick. ‘If I look really busy maybe they won’t sack me’. Does anyone recon they gazumped us or taking wild guesses?

Looked to me like we were trying to find a buyer for our pick. Probably thinking we could get Dow a bit later and add another pick to the bargain.

Dow looks a Richmond player - explosive and has great hands. Look forward to the extended highlights package.

Yeah he's supposedly taller and more athletic than his brother. An interesting pick considering what was still available.

Plus, after delisting Connor we needed to replenish our stock of players with surnames as first names.

blokes like Gould and Robertson could be there at 38.

Jack Graham anyone?

I know zero about Dowy, but I love him unconditionally

Like I said. Its a heist.

Same thought. What were the parents thinking?? Can become frustrating and embarrassing for the kid.

I loved Paddy Dow at his draft but Carlton have the worst development program of nearly every club. No wonder Paddy hasnt come on, or many of his teamates either.

Thomson has lightning fast hands. That is clearly evident in his short highlight reel.

I think we have the Dow with more Wow!

I really wanted Robertson after he slid. I reckon he will be a gun. Anyway good luck to Dow hopefully he proves me wrong and is better than Robertson.

Is Johnson awake? Does he even know what the draft is?


He is only here tonight to write his list for the rising star next year. When this list is exhausted he will then watch a Friday night game, unless Richmond are playing.
