Yeah I liked his game too. He's not super quick but he has a little burst and evasiveness out of the clearance. 9 contested possessions and 5 clearances from 68% TOG.
Put in a good competitive effort and if not badly injured should be selected for a run of games over the next few rounds.
Needs an opportunity to develop some confidence and settle into playing senior footy.
Give him a decent run at it and let's see what he's got to offer.

3AW said he went off injured.
Before that they were really impressed with his game

14 disp, 9 contested 2nd for clearances in game with 5 (team high). Green 1st with 6. Was subbed out, holding his knee when he went down, he was able to get off the ground himself tho so hopefully just a knock
Thought he was great. Yes his stats line isn’t that impressive but his speed & nimbleness around the packs made a noticeable difference to our midfield.
Pace. Pace is what our midfield has been lacking. Thomson brings that. Persist.

He played pretty well but i doubt he plays when we are at full strength. Can see why guys like Dow (Lipinski from Bulldogs is a good example) change clubs to get regular game time. You have to be an absolute elite junior to break into a strong team (a la Bolton and Balta).
Electric feet, as TOO said, nibleness.
Best if he gives off by hand instead of kicking, kicking may improve a bit once he gets more exposure and becomes more comfortable with the pace of the game at AFL level.

thought Fumbles was pretty good, but needs to put grippo on his hands & not KY
I was sitting right behind the Richmond bench, he actually ran off the ground, was examined in the rooms, and I thought he was coming back on because he was up on the boundary looking to get back on, had a drink while standing near the boundary line, then about 2 mins later he sat down and then Aarts went on...feeling it was a choice to put Aarts on for fresh legs and not take any risk with Dow...the way he ran off didn't seem to be a structural issue
Love to see Prestia back out there but rushing him back after hamstring tightness? Let Dow have another go if not injured.
He not, happy for Prestie to have another weeks rest and Dow to get a couple of games in a row.
