Thomson Dow
- Thread starter fastin bulbous
- Start date
Ffs. He had zero competitive footbal last year and has had a massively interrupted season this year due to appendix. Is now been asked to play in possibly our worst midfield for years. Another that keeps playing. Has all the attributes to be a quality AFL player but needs another 2-3 pre seasons and matches
Looks a good mover and like others I hope they keep playing him for the rest of the season.
Yep. Keep playing him. Either way, we'll know what we have.
Watched the replay to get a feel for Dow's role in this game. Dow seemed non existent in the second half watching live, and he really was on replay too. But he wasn't in the centre square at all, and played mainly as a forward where he barely touched it. Given how bad we were in the centre square (again), can't believe he wasn't given a crack in there.
Continues to show some real silk. Hopefully he is Shane Edwards and not Corey Ellis.
Most of us probably weren’t blown away by the likes of Shedda, Rance, Broad, Lambert, etc ……… at the same stage
Happy to give him time and certainly for the rest of this season
You have to remember these kids lost a full year of development last year with little to no competitive football.
On top of that, we haven't exactly had spots in the midfield for a few years to groom these kids with regular blocks of football with senior players around them to help and protect them while they develop in the senior side. They're not top 5 picks that can walk straight into a side and dominate games, they need some development.
Give them time, they'll be fine

Plenty of kids at other clubs don’t seem too affected by the covid year.
I think the reality is that our kids are just not very good.
unfortunately i think you're right. our kids look average at best, if we dont get some elite young talent in the door soon we could be in for a very loooong rebuild.
