Thomson Dow

Liked his game.
Thought he went backwards last year so hopefully he has a good year.

Still can't kick on the run from what I saw today.
A fatal flaw I'm afraid. Don't think he can make it.
Yeah I’m there as well, walked into the club with poor foot skills. There’s a lesson there that can’t be ignored and most other clubs adhere to in the first round.

Spent plenty of time on Petracca and was very good at the contest. Was challenged and lifted. Good focus from the youngster. Encouraging effort.

make or break year, glimpses here and there wont save him on the list at the end of the year, such is the cut throat industry of AFL.

He was the 5th highest ranked Richmond player on the day, behind only baker Taranto Rioli and Martin. I don't buy too much into fantasy points being a great representation, but he's doing some good work at least.

Not sure if he will make it, but covid would have ripped development out of him and his draft year so gets a bit of extra time because of that.

Thought he moved well, doesn't have the typical bulk for a contest player (which seems his only option for a position). Does need to fix the kicking generally.

There were a few times I thought “geez who’s that?” (Even with my glasses I’m still blind as a bat) when this undetermined player did something nice. Then he kicked it and I was “oh, it’s Tommy Dow”…..

Yeah on that eyesight view, he's a lot like Callum Moore. Winning the ball / marking etc you are like, wow. who's is that. Then they kick it and you go.......................................oh no.
 
If he can become an elite handballer would help his cause. We have the outside mids to distribute to.

Was a fan early on and Saturdays game was probably he’s most encouraging since he’s first season , however I think due to a non existent left and a poor right , I’d say he’s close to the 42 man on the list atm

Coaching staff seem to really rate him, he was solid on Saturday, didn’t look out of place
