Has an electric step on him. Not sure his potential as a starting midfielder but most certainly as part of a midfield rotation. Hopefully gets an uninterrupted preseason and can put some weight back on but very promising along with Hugo

Dow has a decent step side step. Maybe i haven't watched him enough, but i didn't realise h ehad this in his game to this extent. He left a number of Roo players groping at thin air.
He looked good. I thought the game was really uncontested which allowed his smaller body to get into the game. Not sure how he goes against the bigger sides we may face in the finals.
Nice mover.
Looked good. 2 full uninterrupted Preseasons and games will have primed for the midfield..
In the last 2 weeks our kids have shown their class stack cj dow Mansell and Ralphsmith.
Add a few more at the end of this year we have another quality group coming through

Shane Edwards is probably the best comparison with a little bit more burst out of packs. Kicking a bit shaky like edwards also. Good prospect.
The bit at the end where he slipped, then changed direction with the ball in one paw was exciting. First game I've seen anything above average from him at senior level. A welcome surprise.
Really liked his game last week but tonight will be a huge test for the young man.
Will be a step up.
Dow resembles and plays like a very young Simon Black
Elite agility, very classy mover, elite hands in tight.
Was a coming of age game against one of the best performing contested teams in the comp, even though they are last lol.
There have always been big wraps on Dow, next season for him may be beauty.

Coleman-Jones will be a great player in a good team. He’s actually a ruck that can go forward.
I like him in the ruck also. Looks to tap it to someone. If we don’t keep him we are mad and the club that gets him will have a gun
Sorry off track - Dow was awful tonight. Insipid plus butchered the ball. No star quality on show here. One pre season & then 2022 to show he can be a player. Suspect not. Not quick enough, skilful enough or big enough. No tricks.
I didn't think he was as bad aa some are making out, and the stats back that up. 14 at 78.6%, 2 turnovers. Not sure thats butchering it. He certainly seemed to get it in tight a lot more. Kicking was iffy though for sure tonight.
I'd give him another shot next week.

Think we’re catastrophising way too early. Almost everyone was abysmal last night. I think the senior players are exhausted and have already checked out (subconsciously). The juniors can’t help but be dragged down by that.
