So we are using pick 15's on one side midfielders?
I'm pretty sure Cripps can't kick on his left,
Fyfe? Zorko? Glenninding?

There's not being able to kick & then there's looking like a complete unco.
He has many good traits but Dow's left foot is a weakness he really needs to work on.

I’m hoping he isn’t his brother. He can’t kick either…. That left foot attempt was under 14s stuff.
Wrong. He was subbed out because he was injured. Got a cork early in the game in the same spot as the previous week.
It's amazing how the footy callers can make such quick and final judgement on a player's injury status. We don't need emergency departments, we just need the commentators on the front line giving their assessments. Imagine how much money our health system could save in diagnostic equipment.
We now know the reason for the fall off in Dow's performance against the Dees so get the corkie healed and watch the kid progress. Still has areas to work on but has a lot of promise
Dow is a real challenge.
He could make it. His strength is ball winning. Got 11 clearances on the weekend and when we couldn't imagine a football Dow was beating three to get it. All game.
His positioning is wrong. He runs the wrong way. His use is often mediocre. He can't kick. He doesn't run hard enough the other way and lacks defensive application. Defensive desperation is as they say - below his pay grade and above his sense of wonder.
He has other flaws in his game. But sometimes he just wills the ball and uses smart. Sets team mates to space. As if he wants to win the game.
This one is keeper. I expect him back in the seniors. Many flaws. Three crucial strengths. BWA. Will not lie down. A plan for the ball.

Must have got his clearances in the first half.
Went missing in the second and couldn’t get near it at the centre bounces. Disappointing effort for a player on the senior cusp.
Or did I go to the fridge one too many times in the second half?
My viewing showed Dow fighting the game out, DA. Winning contested ball when we couldn’t get a touch.
Our CB problem in the last quarter looked to stem from poor positioning, especially of Samson Ryan. And I’m ok with the idea that Morris lost his compass.
That was a reversible result imo against top line VFA company.
