Thomson Dow

I'd give any other amount of de lists at other clubs or VFL players or whatever a go before Dow.

Extremely lucky not to have been delisted; 5 years in the system and clearly not at the level required.

I'll be a bit disappointed if our first round midfield selections don't immediately overtake him and push him down the pecking order. Hopefully he plays the whole year in the VFL; if this happens we will be well ahead of where we were this year.

Wow. I wouldn't have done this.
I know our inside depth is low, but this guy is ....wow.

Not a big deal. Not gonna whinge and say the clubs lost the plot as others probably will, but I'm disappointed in this decision.
I reckon the coaches see something in him that we don't (or can't see enough) and waiting, waiting, waiting for him to finally click and settle in to play like a real mid. Somehow, I still have that smallest of hope.

WILL hopefully be surpassed by this years draftees in the first week of training. Offers nothing and just don't see any more growth in his game. meh if he's playing then pick one next year is a certainty.

Frustrating player. Has some elite attributes but has some real poor ones also.

State of play. Midfield depth sucks.

Sonsie should have taken this spot by now.
He’s been arguably a bigger disappointment than Dow.


In his defence, I think Sonsie's has been played out of position. He's a mid who's been forced to play as a small forward. Play him in a role best suitable & then judge him. Dow for some reason has been given ample opportunities & failed imo. Give Sonsie that sort of chance please.

Me too. Nothing against him, but he simply isn't AFL quality.

Has got another year ….yes officially

Don’t tell me the same posters who were saying Blair is a genius, he knows what he’s doing are now questioning his work?
Well I’ll be……:giggle:

Don’t take it the wrong way, but apparently if they disagree with Blair,’s decisions,they are morons who can ggf. 🤫
Not my words, I believe people can have their own opinions on such matters. (y)

Good on him. I for one like him, and think he has scope for improvement. Clearly still has a ways to go, so only 1 year feels right.

Will he get displaced by our new draftees? That'll be up to him. Looking forward to seeing how he responds to the challenge.
