Thomson Dow

[Tigers2011]

Would have subbed Banks & Dow yesterday if we could have. Anyway - it confirmed he isn’t up to this level. Time to try McAuliffe and Sonsie.

In the vfl let him learn. Bluggerd out there didn't even bother chasing or tackling .

 

[nswtiger]

play like a Essendon player ...seen enough .pass

 

[Harry]

Didn't realise he was that slow. For someone as slight as him the lack of pace is the killer.

Quickish in the contest but cant spread as he is bog ordinary in regards to pace.

We’re told hes quick with his hands one thing for sure he aint Shane Edward’s we gotta stop dreaming he’s just not up to AFL level

Yep - he’s done

 

[mrposhman]

Yep - he’s done

Theres not even any need to stick a fork in him to check, he's blackened in a thick coat of charcoal.

And we take no pleasure in coming to this realisation. We want all our players to be stars. But that’s not realistic

With his lack of pace, size and kicking skill, he needs to be Edwards like with his hands. And he is not.

 

[Aegean Tiger]

I'm bemused by the suggestion by many on here during the preseason that we had the second coming of Shedda...

I'm sure he is a wonderful human being, just not an AFL footballer.

 

[Tigga94]

If I see him play again one the 1’s I’ll be sick.

 

[toothless]

dud. delist.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Who's got Clarke's number?
I want to know what was the attraction to draft him.
Slow, can't kick, doesn't pressure or tacke.
Good family??
Good school?

He Isn't Edwards left ball bag
Edwards was a tackler that won us the flag in 2020
He was a runner and skilful

That’s just PRE pre season hyped expectations. Samsung is gunna be a key forward gun, Dow is gunna be an onballing genius, Lefau is gunna be a revelation as a third key forward, Naismith is gunna replace Nank etc etc

 

[BiddiscombeSkills]

18 disposals, 12 contested, 6 clearances, 72% disposal efficiency, against a highly rated opposition midfield.

Lifted today, and kept it going til the end. Well done, son.

 

[Harry]

Yep much better.

 

[Willo]

The Dow Index rose today. Good game

Showed the benefit of being “given” a run of games rather than the fear of being dropped after one or two poor games
Yep - some good signs today
