We haven't played a single convincing 4 quarter game of football with Joel Bowden in the side this year.
I know Tivendale & Pettifer were also dropped from the side when we played the Dockers, but since Joel's return we've had no intensity in our game and only fallen over the line against two bottom four sides. Our form shot straight up when he was out of the side against Freo and departed against Essendon in the game of his return. Tivendale & Pettifer are out of the side and we're still soft, so Bowden is the only constant that matches our form exactly.
We should at least find out if the same thing happens by dropping him again. He's completely failed as soon as we try and play him as a midfielder or forward. I don't care about 39 disposals against Port, he was only BOG because Williams paid him no respect, Ratten exploited him and it played a massive part in winning Carlton the game.
I get the feeling that Wallace is nursing him to 250 games, but that basically means he'll play ever game for the rest of the season.
Surely it can't just be a coincidence?
